Clutch Adjustment
My wife would like her clutch activation on her 14 King to be closer to the grip. Right now, the sweet spot is too far out. I am assuming to accomplish this, it is adjusting the screw out to 1 1/2 or 2 turns after contact? Or, is it just adding more free play to the cable?

I would try one full round out first before I tried 1 1/2 or 2. I have never seen anybody run 2 rounds out, but there is a first for everything I guess. You are on the right track though when changing the friction point.

Nope, it's a cable just like previous years. Now, she wants me to "bend" straighten out the clutch lever itself. The handle is too far out to be able to comfortable grip the lever.
Guess I need to start looking at clutch / brake levers that are less curved and more straight.
