Minor clutch adjustment

[Mittzy]

Oh I was hoping you weren't going to say that. Spent a few dollars on the grips and the add-ons. So I guess to fix this would require an adjustment to the length of the clutch cable? Not something i would do, but just curious.
Not a fan of the factory grips so any suggestions on an aftermarket grips?

I got Chinese short levers - they are great and like them alot.
They are adjustable to make the lever closer or further away - the further away the longer the cable pull and WILL make selecting neutral better.

If you don't have an adjustable clutch lever is that standard now on the touring or do you have a non standard lever set up? Maybe that is the problem?

You could be right Like Mitzy I switched one of my bikes to aftermarket lever Piazzo like the ones he shown. Can't real say there six adjustments are any more then the 4 on the OEM ones. So as Paul pointed out can you tell us what type of complete lever set up your using? Going to miss you this week in Maggie Valley Old One I have a couple vegetable pies coming

THOSE shorty levers are not comfy with less leverage and thin blades the latest ROCKET levers have wider blades and more leverage and are adjustable and are the best for comfort and leverage if you have stronger clutch springs I have 2 sets of those shorty levers we took off bikes that came in for engine mods

THOSE shorty levers are not comfy

Odd - I've never found that to be so - in fact better than the OEM for my hands.
If I had the cash spare I'd buy ASV style levers. But Like Mitzy - I took the Chinese route. Real men don't need comfy levers - we practice on 40 year old tractors with non adjustable tendon snapping spring clutches. And no pledge either - pah - bike smells like a soccer moms suburban.

LOL thats your problem to much self abuse try the wide blade adjustable levers on the newer ROCKETS they are the BOMB

Hopefully you can see the shifter in this pic. Just the stock non-adjustable shifter. I thought about a 'thinner' shift lever too actually. The New Bonneville website has a set but it'll cost me about $180. Where did you get those levers Mittzy?

Also just a quick side question. Can you run bias ply tires on the R3T? Or is the bike designed with radials in mind?
