just got my bike back from having the clutch sorted ( which i originally broke trying to fix something else)

and the biting point is now just after you pull the clutch, as in its nearly all the way out before it bites, now before, it had to be pulled like 2/3 of the way in.
feels really weird, so was just wondering where everyone else has their biting point, does it make any real difference, or just personal preference?

I said nearly all the way out as its about 1/4 of the way in.

EDIT: Haha sorry I got my brain in a bit of a tiff, it is almost all the way in (3/4 in).

put mine all the way out, wait till it wears all the way in, then re adjust all the way back out....

I have mine so I can have 2 gloved fingers on the grip and 2 on the clutch and not have to 4 finger the clutch to disengage.

So nearly all the way out.

This pic made me understand what on earth Stuntman was on about Laughing

Mines nicely in the middle, I think you get used to it where ever it is but obviously if you want speedy gear changes have it far out Thumbs Up

On my new one its nearly all the way out and I'm still getting used to it after my old bike having it almost all the way in.
It's funny how quick you can get used to something because when I took the old one for a ride it felt weird as shit.
Still haven't made up my mind completely yet but will adjust it if need be once I've decided
