Title: Clutch adjustment on 1050
Post by: bonne on November 11, 2020, 15:12:45

Can I adjust the clutch lever on my new 1050?

I think it starts to grip way to far from the handle

You have a span adjuster that will bring the lever closer to the bar .

Could you not apply a similar mod as discussed in https://www.stromtrooper.com/threads/clutch-lever-mod.53992/ ?

This works great I did it on my Veek a few years ago.

Much better, before the lever was also out to engage the clutch now I can feel it starting to grip half way out on the lever, makes traffic filtering etc smoother
