I am wanting to adjust the clutch cable on my 03 9S. The clutch engages when the lever is almost all the way out, and I know this is normal for most bikes, but I have short hands and would like to move the engagement in some. I dont see how to adjust the cable, is there a way to do it? Thanks

Altimo, you can adjust the free play of the clutch cable midway down the cable in front of the engine. But if you have too much free play you may not dis-engage the clutch enough when pulled in. I recommend that you leave the standard free play.

I got the CRG shorty levers and they are great for this situation by allowing you to move the lever position while the cable position stays in the proper stock position.

Some might think they are pricey but I don't think so for what I see as a comfort and safety thing.
