Clutch range

Agreed that the clutch is not friendly

I really had to get used to the clutch of the FZ6. If I let it go nothing happens until it grips and then the range is very short. It works well for driving fast but in the city and filtering through traffic it's a bit too agressive. I adjusted the clutch cable but it makes the free play larger than it should be.
I wonder if something can be done to make the range a bit larger. Maybe lengthening the lever (that connects to the clutch cable) on top of the clutchcase/gearbox?

I adjusted the lever to have the proper amount of free-play on the bar, but I hate how it releases so far out from the bar. MY CBR600F4 has an extra adjustment on the side of the motor, but the FZ6 does not. I was wondering what I could do, and then I got the factory service manual. Now, I see that there is another clutch cable adjustment that is located inline, on the left side of the bike, under the fuel tank. When I find the time, I plan to use this adjustment to move the engagement point back towards the grip. Has anyone else tried this adjustment yet?

Now, if I only knew of a solution to the transmission sounding like a harley when I put it into first gear. *CLUNK* It's embarassing.
