This is my first bike that I have been mechanically minded on, and those before it were 20 odd years ago. I'm not sure what the correct feel on the clutch lever is, and want to find out if I have a problem looming, or if what I'm getting is normal.
I've adjusted the clutch cable a few times, at the lever end, as described by the manuals, so that there is about 1mm of slack before the lever starts to pull. Over time, presumably due to cable stretch, the amount of slack has increased and I have to pull the lever a bit further to disengage the clutch.
Of late, it seems that the bite point is getting further away rather than closer to me. There isn't much slack, but I barely touch the lever and the clutch is free. I've not noticed any slip (yet), so I'm not sure if the clutch is wearing out and due an overhaul or not.
I've not looked at the lower end of the adjustment, I assumed that it was just another cable adjustment , just at the other end. Is this right, or would adjusting it at that end move the bite point?
Any help and advice greatfully received.
