The adjustable lever has five possible positions. Numbered 1-5. Position #1 moves the lever closest to the handlebar (the shortest possible reach for my hand) but there isn't that much difference among the five choices. However, due to rapidly increasing osteoarthritis in my left hand, I need any advantage available. In position #1, when I have squeezed the clutch lever all the way to my handlebar, the engine "noise" is a noticeable small surge that cycles about once per second. With zero throttle input. The bike will move ahead slowly in first gear without the brakes being applied. If I move the adjustable lever from #1 to #2 the problem disappears, but it is very uncomfortable for my hand. So my hypothesis is: In position #1, the clutch isn't completely disengaged because of the shorter travel distance. That goes away with the "longer pulls" of #2 through #5. "IF" there were an adjustment in the clutch itself then my problem would be solved.

If position #1 does not allow the clutch to disengage fully. and you can't reach the lever comfortably in another position, there is no further stock adjustments that can be made. Do you by chance have non-original grips that may be fatter, thus limiting the lever throw when pulled in fully?
