The 'biting point' in the fazers' clutch with standard levers, which is within our range of adjustment is limited by the amount of free play in the lever. I.E. no play, instant bite. More play, a later bite & closer to the bars
In the case of the OP if he loosens the cable the bite will be closer to the bars & hence a later bite.
Adjustable levers will not alter the cable travel but because the levers can be set closer to the bars the stretch is less, the bite closer to the bars so most prefer it, including [size=1em]myself.
Whenever I've replaced clutch cables I've always taken out just enough slack at the clutch end to allow a final adjustment (i.e. minor tweaking) at the lever to achieve a little free play.
I am however, interested in learning in this case, how shortening the length of a cable can have a different effect depending upon which end is adjusted.
Yeah, yeah, I most of you know this but sometimes ya gotta say it

Thanks for getting back to me Tommy.  :lol
I read that through, but am a little worried that my ill informed twiddling may leave the clutch slightly engaged.
That's why I was after a
1 - wind in / out the cable adjuster???
2 - tighten / loosen the bottom end ??
3 - check bite etc.
4 - if not correct, do this..... etc


If I move the adjuster near the lever, will there be an effect elsewhere?
Will I then have to compensate at the clutch end?
I know it seems an easy job, reading your summary, but I don't want to damage anything.
Thanks though

Hi Ian,
You had better thank DekF for the post about the clutch setup as I just re-posted it as some of DeKF's original Post/Text had decreased in size and was not legible.
