clutch engagement

Is it a symptom of anything wearing out when the clutch engagement is as soon as the clutch lever is off the handlebar? I would prefer to have a little play before it engages, but there is none. Thanks.

Might need to be bled. BUT, the DD clutch mod does make it more off/on feel and closer to the bar on the engagement.

Thanks Sean, I have bled it, but I have not tried reverse bleeding which sounds like it works better. I don't know if it had the DD mod by PO, but it sure has an on/off and no inbetween feel to it.

The DD mod is very popular and may have already been done. The clutch is noticeably stiffer then a stock one and most bikes with stock clutches.

I did a reverse bleed, and it is better, back to how it used to be. There is some play in the lever before it engages, which is much better than none. Thanks.
