There's always a few meatheads in the neighborhood, aren't there? By in large I appreciate your helpful replies. I started riding Enduro bikes when I was 18. Honda XR350R and XR500R and had the friction zones adjusted to engage just at the slights release of the clutch lever. I now have the RT friction zone adjusted accordingly. I joined this Forum at the recommendation of a friend that advised me the members of this Forum were mature and always willing to assist when asked.  As I stated at the commencement of this paragraph, there's always a few meatheads in every neighborhood!  RTman10, thank you sir, for your particular recommendations.

Sadly, the same the world over. I am also on Boxertrix which is normally a great forum, but once in a while it is tainted by an unhelpful comment.

To get back to your original question BlueRT although the only adjustment is on the lever there may be other issues.
I found the clutch on mine difficult at first as it seemed to have very little movement between engaged and disengaged, resulting in a couple of embarrassing stalls. It still catches me out occasionally.

It also seemed to 'drag' on occasions both up and down the box. Gear shift pro works great though. I raised this at the last service and the mechanic also found it so. He bled the hydraulic system through and it seems better now. He could not explain why this happened as there were no leaks in the system. I hope you sort yours.


Just ignore some of the clowns here they just have too much self confidence - all of it misplaced!

resurrecting the original question...
This is bit difficult to hear (wind noise) but he shows a way that you can. I will give it a go.

BlueRT, the clutch actuation on the RT is hydraulic so there is not the adjust as on a cable actuated clutch between the lever and the clutch actuator.  The adjustments that can be made are at the lever through selecting the number on the wheel that fits you best.

This ^ looks a good solution to the OP's question, That's how you adjust the lever/bite point on my GasGas brake and clutch levers.
