Hey guys, 

I'm having an issue with the position of my clutch lever, and I wanted to hear how you guys set yours.

  
for the past couple years I've been riding with my clutch adjsuted so that it is disengaged with the lever is pulled in all the way to the handlebar, and the friction zone would engage as soon as it was released from the handlebar. I would do this so that no matter the riding position, I knew that if I was fully squeezed, I was fully disengaged, and when I needed to feather the clutch, I had a good reference to where in the friction zone I was based on how far from the handlebar I was. I was using all 4 fingers to control the clutch. 

  
Now that I've begun riding more standing up and trying to learn to use the clutch for pivot turns and wheelies, I'm noticing that I probably need to be using 2 fingers instead of 4. So I adjust the nut on my adjustable Warp 9 clutch lever so that the clutch disengages when the end of the clutch lever hits my ring finger (As I pull with index and middle). This, however, was pretty uncomfortable, having the lever hit my ring finger knuckle every time, and more fatiguing to pull the clutch with just two fingers. Rotating the clutch lever at a more downward angle did not fix the knuckle issue, and rotating upwards works but is still hard to ride with standing up.

I am considering either going back to my old 4 finger setup or cutting the Warp 9 lever so that I can pull it in all the way to the handlebar with just two fingers without having the lever hit my ring finger.

  
I am just concerned that if I cut the lever, it will cause fatigue much faster in my left hand on long riding days.



Has anyone else experienced this?

What is your guys' setup, and what works for you?

  
Thank you.
