I must say that i love this bike so far! I do have a question though. The clutch seems to take up engagement at the end of its travel. I'm assuming that this is adjustable. Did anyone else have this issue and fix it?

AFAIK there isn't much you can do.
There's a little adjustment in the lever and you can move the engagement point a little.

This hydraulic setup has a very "thin" friction zone.
Once you get used to it, it's very smooth and easy.

The only adjustment is at the lever itself. I set mine to engage as close to the clipon as possible. The clutch activation took a little getting used to and I occasionally do stall the bike when starting from a stop, but I'm pretty much okay with it now.

Yeah, they do engage father out than you might first expect. On the rare occasion I let someone else ride mine I always tell them that and about the initial front brake movement is on the strong side. Ya get used to it all.

1125 needs a smaller master cylinder to provide a finer range of feel, as well as to reduce pull effort. Currently, it's using a 14mm m/c, perhaps something like 12mm m/c will work. But not sure if anyone makes it that small.
