    Can the biting point be adjusted on an RR7?

    I.e. on cable-operated clutches I could turn the adjusters to move the biting point in relation to the lever travel, as I like the biting range to be smack-bang in the middle of the lever travel.

    Can the same be done on a hydraulically-operated clutch?

    I don't think so, although I could be wrong.

    Does the 07 bike not come with an adjustable clutch lever, the same as the front brake, my 04 bike does? Is that not the same moving a cable clucth?

    Cheers for the replies all... thought as much.

    Yes but that just adjusts the reach... I want to adjust the bite within a given reach. Having looked about the only thing you can do is shorten then master cylinder push rod or the clutch slave cylinder push rod... sounds like too much effort.
