Possibly, I've made the problem seem much worse than it actually is.
The grabbiness of which I speak seems to manifest if I pull away from standstill on a very light throttle with revs below 2 000 (my hexheads did this perfectly). If I hold the revs at or above 3 000, still on a light throttle, the grabbiness is greatly diminished.
It's not like the clutch has a 'switch' action in the same manner as a racing clutch. It's just not as progressive as the clutch action I had on my hexheads.
Put it this way, I would choose this clutch over the Sachs button clutch I had in my first GS Adventure any day.
One thing I did check last night was the fluid levels.
Thinking the clutch reservoir might be overfull, I undid the lid. Sure enough, fluid came pouring out. Even with the lid off, the fluid level was over the brim of the open reservoir. I removed a little over 6 millilitres with a syringe before closing the lid.
The front brake reservoir was also overfull.
It seems the dealer did a half-arsed PDI on this bike... surprise, surprise.
You are not the first to say that the clutch and brake reservoirs were over filled to the point where fluid came out when the cover was removed - one wonders how the dealer put in more fluid than the reservoir can hold? - I am confused as to how they do it?
