ninjette.org - View Single Post - Since my mind is on clutch adjustment, can you shorten the clutch release point?

We have a low-mile Ninja 500 that has the same issue - clutch doesn't engage until the lever is almost completely out. The 500 does have adjustable levers, but it doesn't really solve the problem.

I'm thinking, but am not positive, that the weak clutch springs have something to do with it.

Anyone have this issue and found that replacing the clutch springs with new (non OEM) springs cured it?
