I’m a new rider and my 2023 XSR700 is my first motorcycle ever - so my knowledge, experience and points of reference are very limited. The only other motorcycle I’ve spent time with is a 160cc learner bike at my driving school.
Yesterday, I got to try a CF Moto 675SR and it was great but what I really liked was how the clutch behaved. It seemed to engage really close to the handlebar grip which made slow speed riding easier.
I’ve gotten used to the clutch engaging a little further out on the XSR700. But the 675SR felt instant, easy and really forgiving
My questions are:
- Can I easily adjust my clutch to engage closer using the barrel adjuster alone? Or will I need to do something additional?
- How can I make the clutch lever feel lighter and easier to pull in? The previous owner installed aftermarket adjustable levers that help with reach but they still feel a little tight/resistant.
TIA 🙏🏽
