Ok..... it seems everyone does the hard way and adjusts so that the arm on the case has so much play. Well..... you really need to adjust so that the clutch starts to grab at a certain spot when releasing the clutch.
Yes, I know that the FSM says adjust the arm. But I also read somewhere in the book that the arm is the course adjustment and the fine adjust is at the handlebar lever. Always adjust the fine first... the golden rule.....
So, I find that when releasing the clutch on the LS650's, the clutch has to start to "grip" at about 3/4 to 1 inch out from the handlebar grip for best operation. PhotoJoe had his out farther, maybe 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch out.
Try this and get back to us....
