Friction Zone Variations

[webbmeister25d]

Hi All,

Continuing to have a fine time riding Nimrod. Doing a lot of Ride Like a Pro drills, and have noticed that the clutch seems to get into the friction zone at inconsistent points in the travel of the clutch lever as the day wears on. When starting out for the day, the zone starts to engage at about half the travel of the handle and is fully engaged just a little before the handle is fully out. This seems about right to me.

As the day goes by, the point at which the friction zone engages gets farther out along the path of the lever's travel until the lever eventually works almost (not entirely) like an on-off switch. This happens whether I am working the bike with the RLP exercises or just cruising around for an hour or two. Bike still doesn't have 2000 miles on it, got its 600 mile and has fresh, clean T6 oil. I can't imagine that this is excessive clutch wear at this point in the life of the bike, but am not sure what to make of it.

Thoughts?
