Well...if ya'll think it's the lever 'distance' adjuster...okay.Think about it though.What does that adjuster do?
How I see it(and know to be true on MY bike)..the lever components of the master plunger and all are set to actuate a certain way,(engage/disengage distance)...does that change?No...that does NOT change.What changes is the distance between the grip and the lever itself.C'mon guys...that's all that does.Either moves the lever closer to the grip,or farther away.For rider preference.If you set it all the way in,on 5...the mechanics of the master don't change.All the way out,on 1..same thing.It only changes where the 'force' begins(rider feel).Pulling the lever IN with your fingertips gripping,or IN with your fingers gripping.IF you fabricated some lever that was totally shaped different,and was workable,it would still actuate according to the master setup.THAT does not change with any lever.The lever adjuster is ONLY for rider comfort and ease of use.Just like the BRAKE lever.Your'e saying if you adjust the brake lever pull point in,it'll lock the brakes up?I don't THINK so...but what do I know;)
Either 5 or 1 allows a FULL engagement or disengagement to occur when the bike is static(N)or shifting while moving.There's no pressure on the Hydraulics of the clutch pak.
Not to anger anyone,but IF they somehow 'fixed' a clutch issue as stated by moving the lever in or out,they were already having an issue with the clutch mechanism..be it fluid,or something else.
What are the selling points for the Pazzo?"Moves the lever closer to the handgrip"plus not sticking out.It doesn't change the master components at all.UNTIL...the plunger begins to wear...Then the distances of engagement and disengagement change.The more that piece wears,the less plunger action occurs.Which means...pulling in the clutch ISN'T the same amount anymore as the factory unit.So it doesn't work right.Nothing wrong with the lever itself.It's the plunger wear that's causing it.Pushing against the master.
ANYONE can go out right now and fully open or close that lever adjustment deal.Go ride.Come back and say...'yep,my clutch started slipping(or gripping)"as the case may be.
Does the manual say..."beware,fully adjusting the lever one way or the other will cause the clutch to not operate properly"...if you can find this,I'll never post again.
Changing the lever action adjuster from something'uncomfortable' to something'easy to operate' could make it seem as if 'my problem's fixed'.What's changed?What's changed is how the rider NOW feels clutching his bike.As opposed to 'problematic' with the former settings.
HOW many guys here pull the lever in all the way when they shift?It's a habit.It feels like the correct thing to do.Is it though?Is it necessary?Go and ride trying different clutch pulling distances(not lever adjustments in or out) while riding.
How much distance of the actuation actually occurs?
