Default Clutch Question.

Hi all,
Just wondering if any one else has this. My Clutch lever Biting Point seems to move further in to the bar when the engine is hot. I initially tough that due to vibration the adjustment screw may have moved when riding. I never adjusted it and when I went back out the other day when the bike was cold the Biting Point had moved back, to again move when it heated up.
Is this just a quirk of my bike or is something afoot?
Cheers

I don't know that I've noticed any change in where that position is on any of my bikes. I'm not sure I've really focused on it though. For me it's usually a feel thing. When I feel it engaging that's where I feather it.

I am the same. I am able to feather the bite point wherever it is. Just thought it was slightly odd that it would move.

Since you mention the ability to adjust, I'm guessing you have a clutch cable and not a hydraulic clutch like on a CBR11000F? Not sure it's pertinent, but just an observation since you don't mention what model and year the bike is.

yea. Sorry. It’s a Cable that actuates it. It’s on an 600f F4.

No worries, nothing to be sorry for, was just an observation.
