Yes Trigger, I believe it is called "character" 😄
(PS the "honda man clutch mods helps).

I do them in the following way; disconnect the cable at clutch end, undo locknut, turn adjust screw in gently until it meets resistance (it should now be touching the clutch lift mechanism internally now with no slack) then back it out counterclockwise by quarter to half turn to give a working clearance, then lock it off. Re-install the cable and adjust to give the lever slack you want and it should be ok.
The operating arm should remain in the same position with or without the cable installed else the lever can hold the clutch close to slipping.

I could post that in a Classic Brit racer forum and noone would guess, until Google grasses me up.... :-[
Meanwhile, after 88 miles, it's fine, if a bit clunky the first time it goes in gear when cold, and the bite point is very near the top. Otherwise good, no gear selection dramas, but neutral is a bit Russian roulette at the lights, I'm getting better at slipping it into neutral as I coast up to them, though. Everyone on here seems to say 'they all do that', which is what dealers always said when you took bikes back when they were new.

Yes it seems that all CB750's have a bit of a clunk click when selecting 1st gear from cold, my new clutch was fitted in 2014 & the travel when setting off is very near the end which you usually get with a worn clutch that's ready for replacing, I did at first have trouble selecting neutral...check your neutral switch it could be that, I also had that replaced & Bingo sorted .

Sounds just like my F1 clutch, I too am pretty good at finding neutral when coasting to the traffic lights !
