Anyway, is there a way to shorten the clutch engage point. I would like the clutch to engage sooner when the lever is released.

I may be another noob question here, but can't I adjust the clutch to engage sooner?
No. There is a set range of motion the lever has. It needs to be disengaged to X point so that you can shift without grinding gear dogs, yet it needs to be able to be let out fully so the clutch plates don't slip.

If you adjust it so it engages closer to the bars, you might not have enough disengagement to make sure you're not damaging the transmission.

Proper adjustment is approximately a nickels thickness between the lever and the perch.
