I’ve seen this before with shimmed clutch springs. This mod increases spring pre-load for more grip, but has effect of bottoming spring before clutch has fully disengaged.

Remove clutch-cover and remove springs. Measure depth of spring pocket in clutch pressure-plate. Should be about 21.5mm I think. Look at bottom of pockets for shims, remove if any. Then measure depth of spring pocket again. Then compress spring in vise to same height, 21.5 or whatever you measured. At that compression, is there still gap between coils? Or does it bind before then?

Also here’s my cable adjustment. About 7mm of gap in upper-threads at lower adjuster and about 4mm at top.
