I like the red painted pressure plate, chips aside, it always irks me slightly that anodised colours never quite match the rest of the bike. I ended up swapping my bright blue pressure plate for a black one.

I would consider removing the paint but it looks like the anodising has faded really badly so it looks pink underneath. I can live with it for now but may get a black one at some point.

Still running with the original clutch slave Darren, your hand will be getting a good work out

I have one the same on my S4 and it is much lighter but the master cylinder is just about able to pull it with the span adjustment set on max, anything less and it won't fully disengage.

Okay grandma, this is how you suck eggs..
You know this.. But. On the Goldline clutch master the actuating pin that pushes the piston, threads into the trunnion in the lever. The position of the pin in the trunnion has a marked effect on the lever span/bite point. I found that the clutch bite was very far out on the lever on my SS. I discovered that the pin had undone a bit from the trunnion and pushed the lever forwards quite a bit. I wound the pin in as far as it would go and the span reduced considerably, bringing the bite point in closer at the same time. Further playing with the span adjuster dial got it really comfortable with no slip or drag. This is with a standard servo. I think that if you wanted a position not fully wound in tight that a blob of locktite would be good, although actually the thread is quite tight and probably tapered? I needed pliers on the pin to turn it. This is a regular grease point too.. Something overlooked by a Commando riding mate of mine who eats clutch cables!

When I changed the levers for some aftermarket ones I was concerned that I had set the gaps with the grub screws correctly especially for the brake, so I let Neil at Cornerspeed check them over and he said they were good. He also commented that the clutch was just about able to move enough fluid to lift the clutch with the span set to max and may benefit from a newer one. I think if I wind the grub screw in further it will move the bite point but will also then not release the pressure so the clutch may slip. The ones on the S4R are the radial type and may be better in that respect but. I think I need to understand what exactly Mark wasn't happy with about the change that caused him to put the standard slave back on.

I just rattle-can sprayed mine black, looks good and if it gets too chipped/manky it's an easy job to redo it.
