Since #2 allows the clutch to completely disengage, I will have to adjust to that. And shift less frequently. Or get an Africa Twin DCT of 750-DCT.
But I love my CB!
The heated grips are always a bit fatter. It's trading one discomfort for another.
since there is only a little difference between adjustments 1 & 2, you may be able to cheat a bit.
Even with a hydraulic clutch, there is some freeplay, more than the lever adjustment, about 5/8" -3/4" at the ball end. There always needs to be some freeplay, but with hydraulics, it doesn't vary like a cable, so you could fine-tune it a bit. If you effectively "lengthen" the rod that the lever engages, it would take up some freeplay.
If you were curious enough to experiment a bit, you could put little wads of aluminum foil in the hole of the brass lever pivot barrel, and it would space it out. Sounds weird, but it is easily done, easily reversible, and costs nothing.
