Shim clutch lever for gen1 slave on a gen2 bike

I have a 2006, and want reduction in pull force. Presently I have the adjustment maxed furthest away from bar.

I prefer a 2 finger pull, but at a light to go in N, I have to pull lever to bar to get N easily.

When I put this 05 slave on it sounds like I won't get an easy N with lever to bar due to action moving more towards bar.

Has anyone removed the adjust dial and put a bead of weld on the face to create a 6 or 7 for adjustment ?

Out of curiosity, have you done a thorough clutch bleed recently? I don't find I need to go right to the bar to easily get it into neutral.

I agree that it would be nice if it was a little easier pull, especially with some developing arthritis in my left hand. I don't like to shift to neutral at a light unless it is a long one - prefer to be ready to make a move if someone is coming up fast behind me.

Are you aware that the clutch can be modified to the GenIII+ slipper clutch? Lighter pull too.

As far as I know, this will apply to a Gen II clutch...

I modified the brake lever on my GSX1100G that way, but instead of weld - which could have fused the adjustment wheel - I drilled and tapped an unused position on the wheel for a 4-40 set screw. By experimenting with a couple lengths of screws I found one that gave me the adjustment I wanted when bottomed in the adjustment wheel. Also have found it easier to find neutral while stopped by blipping the throttle while trying to hit neutral.

Great idea.

Did you get that adjust wheel out of the lever,, it comes out ?

I can stop the bike with 2 finger pull, it's stopped and I'm finger thickness from bars,, but there obviously is some momentum in clutch grab because as I said it's a little tough to find N, pass by it,1st to 2nd to 1st to 2nd N, ugg. Pull in to bar, N easy.

I changed out the levers to Pazzos to get the further pull range on my 06.

There's a really cheap bushing that can wear on the pivot bolt that can do that as well- I'd look at it before trying something else.

I just stuffed some aluminum foil up in the hole the in the swivel to create a longer throw.
