If that alone does not accomplish what you're looking for then give the cable some extra freeplay. Disregard the 1/16 to 1/8 inch specifaication at the clutch lever and adjust the cable to provide the engagement where you want it. If your bike is anything like mine you'll end up with more than 1/8 inch freeplay at the lever.

In another thread on the same topic I proposed this method in more detail. I got a reply stating that my methods were about the stupidest way of adjustment conceivable. I asked the poster who stated that to provide me with a technical rational for his statement but never got one. The reason for no follow-up response is because there isn't one. My method is perfectly sound and will result in a clutch engagement to suit your preference.
Never said it was the stupidest, well sort of. I agreed to disagree.
No need for me to respond to ignorance. In your post above you now agree that 1 turn might do it. Before you said it made no difference. Goodbye.

Sorry. I was replying to the remarks from 2black1s that were directed at me.
We've had an on going argument that he carried over to your thread. My apologies.

I think you may have misinterpretted something I said in the referenced (previous) thread. I said the exact same thing there as I'm saying here although there was a little more detail in the other thread. So your disagreement must be in one of those details.

But the bottom line is this - The OP says he's got what he wanted from my method. (Post 12). Glad I could be a help.
