Here's a video I made of the lever play. It's kinda funny. I laughed at it myself. Comically boring. Grin

Wa da ya think, anything that can be tweaked, or is it as good as it gets? Some mechanical slop, then hydraulic/piston freeplay. Seems looser than the brake lever. The brake has virtually no mechanical slop. It even has a different engagement. Instead of a linkage like the clutch has, a piece of the lever or something just presses against the piston.

I actually got to ride the thing, and it seems like the lever travels pretty far before it starts seriously pulling. I suggested maybe just oil drag, but one of the honda people thought otherwise, that maybe it was a bent fork in the tranny or something.

Anyway, the carb or something is acting up. I lose power suddenly after a certain point in the throttle. The machine is unreliable; often hard to start, and randomly shuts off while idling.

Here's the link to the discussion. http://www.hondashadow.net/forum/72-technical-discussion/489938-missing-carb-...
