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!
