    It's a brand new cable; yes it has mid point adjustment and have used that with case adjustment and now can fine tune with the handlebar adjustment to get where the bike is now. Friction point is just off the bar (lever fully pulled) just where I like it (set the same on all my other machines). Bike goes into a clutched neutral just fine with the lever fully pulled and starts to engages about10-15mm off the bar and if fully engaged to about 1/4 pull where you can move to not pulled to 1/4 pull and the clutch is still engaged.

    Clutch cable replacement and clutch arm adjustment brought allot of clarity to where the friction zone is but now that I have my adjustments spot on there is definitely a slippage just in the top 3 gears under WOT.

    Springs cost me $10 amazon shipped (be here by the weekend). EBC 10% stronger than stock units. I'm willing to bet when I pull the springs in there they will be short and tired. I've had worn springs in a few other GS bikes and this feels allot like this now after I followed the recommendations of clutch arm adjustment and cable replacement.

    Thank you all for your guidance!
    Do a side by side uncompressed height measurement of the old vs. new. It would be nice to see just how much they may have sagged.
    visually check fibes for glazing too
    10 bucks is crazy good price.

      I'll post pics when I get in there. I'll check the contact plates and fibers for wear or glazing. I don't want to button it back up twice.

      10 dollars. For the price it's nice to just have that in inventory!

      Thanks,
