It's a mystery to me. As best I know it is the original clutch lever. I bought the bike from the dealer, though it was a demo with 800 miles on it. I had never pulled the lever out. All in all it was working ok, just hard to hit neutral.
I put a brass bushing in it, and got a good fit. If that doesn't correct my problem I'll freshen up the clutch.
Thanks for all the info.
