Adjust the clutch lever travel

[cjsp]

Hello guys,

I feel like my clutch lever needs to travel all the way before the clutch gets in contact. Is that normal? Is there a way to reduce that travel? Adjusting the lever maybe?

Thanks for your help in advance,

Yep, just turn the adjustment knob at clutch lever pivot. You may need to slightly open/close lever while adjusting so the knob turns easier. Clockwise to increase lever travel, opposite to decrease.

Thanks Harry,

I saw the knob yesterday and tried to play with it, and just moved two slots, I didn't want to keep forcing it before asking here. I will try again today. I assume the clutch does not have any adjustment by itself....

U welcome! It's a hydraulic clutch so unlike cable clutches that you can tighten/loosen per se, these adjust solely at the lever which activates the clutch plunger into the fluid reservoir/chamber on the handle bar.

I've adjusted the knob, and now it is way better, thank you Sir......
