I never liked the "engagement point" of the clutch in the FZ6 because it's too far from the grip, I like it in the first third of the lever play. So I asked for your help here:

To solve the situation I buy a cheap adjustable clutch lever from ebay, and it worked for me as I can, basicaly, change the engaging point anywhere.

But at the Yamaha service they told me the clutch was a bit hard and noisy at the first and second gear mostly.
So I tried the original lever and the noises gone and the clutch become super smooth in all gears!
So I measure how much cable was pulled with each lever and find out the ebay one pulls more amout of clutch cable than the original:

At the position 1 pulls: 7,4cm (2.91 inches)
At the position 4 pulls: 7 cm (2.76 inches)
At the position 6 pulls: 6,9 cm (2.72 inches) in this possition the engagement point here is very similar, if not the same, as te original lever
The original pulls: 6,8 cm (2.68 inches)
I expected that the ebay one pulls less cable but it pulls more... as I read lots of people complaining about the gear noise, this could be something to be evaluated! Not only the noise but also it may lead to some premature wear of some part of the clutch i think...
I will have to learn to like the "engagement point" as it is!
