Check the small hole in bottom of clutch reservoir, may be clogged.

Mine was on 1 but I have tried the dial at other numbers with the same result.
At least I know that's normal for Drifters.  I have changed the fluid after removing the left cover a 100 miles ago.  The clutch lever responsiveness was the same before and after.
Thanks

What pilgrim said... our clutch levers don't have much play. That was something I tried to resolve 10 years ago... it's normal. When it gets to the point where its not releasing and you have the dial set at max... it's time for a clutch spring replacement.

My clutch disengages about 2/3 way out. How long has it been since you changed your clutch fluid?
There is a dial on clutch that has numbers 1-5 ...5 disengages closest to grip and 1 is farthest. I think mine is on 1.
What is yours set on?

 I have been putting more miles and ride time on my 1500.    Is it normal when you have the bike in first gear (from red lights and take offs) and you have the hand clutch lever pulled all the way towards the handgrip that you barely start or more like immediately start to release the lever the bike is moving.

Basically there's no wiggle room so you got to make sure the hand lever stays pulled all the way otherwise you take off and start moving with immediate response if you let up at all.

When I had my 800 I don't recall  having the same concern or experience we're basically the instant the lever starts to be released
your moving.

Is there a way to adjust it?
