Hi all.

So long story short my clutch lever was feeling a bit floppy so decided to adjust accordingly, followed my Haynes and online guides, I am confident I have done so correctly, the lever feels more firm and springs back like so believe a clutch should.

Also the biting point is now at the end of the lever, within tolerance according to the manual (10mm-15mm). I am slowly getting used to it when pulling away and changing down gears and using the engine braking.

However, while just riding in first and second up and down the driveway testing the freeplay, when at a stop I noticed it is very stiff to click into neutral, easy when the engine is off.

Confused as the clutch is now much better other than the neutral problem?

Have I missed something when adjusting? Or does the bike just need to be warm?
