I've driven nothing but manuals as well as ridden all kinds of bikes my whole life. I have easily had clutches last over 100K miles.

The travel between touch point and full engagement on this clutch feels like it just goes on forever. I sometimes, too often for my comfort, find myself rolling on the throttle before fully engaging the clutch. So right at the worst time, when it's almost engaged, I slip and then have to either back off the throttle or dump the clutch. Either way, I cringe because it's a disaster waiting to happen.

I've adjusted it to get the touch point as low as reasonable but it's ridiculous. I know it's not me.

Has anyone played with different cylinder bore ratios to decrease the mechanical advantage of the system? Part numbers?

Edit: Also, what's this talk about a clutch delay valve? I'm not buying it.
