When's the last time it had an oil change? Old nasty oil can affect shifting. If you don't know when, do it and see if it helps.

You really should adjust the cable properly and get used to that instead. Your clutch might be fine for another 50,000 miles......unless it's misadjusted. How many miles are on it? It should last for at LEAST 40K or more miles.
So it being engaged (more than just a spining tire on a stand, i wore a grove in my shoe stopping it "fully disengaged"). That wont hurt it much?

And i have a little under 13k on the bike. got it at 8k for $1,800

I changed the oil maybe 5 hundred miles ago. granted its pretty dark so im tempted to change it again.

And i know i should keep it adjusted properly, where its at, at the moment. I just would rather it not be.

I might do a build thread and cast the shifting arm with specs so someone could cast, weld, cnc, etc one. maybe figure a way to amplify the shift cable movement.

Is there no way to get the results i want without making something?
