It may vary by bike, but mine has an adjustment that lets you adjust
the freeplay between the pushrod and the pressure plate. As the
friction disks wear and become thinner, I think you would need to back
this off or else the clutch won't fully engage (i.e., the disks would
be held apart by the too-long pushrod) even with the cable totally
slack.

Well, of course you would think so. Just as Krusty thinks his shit
doesn't stink and everyone is hanging on his every post!

You wouldn't tolerate that behavior in the real world, so why so blase about
it here?

I won't disagree with that, I recognize my own limitations.
I don't necessarily have a problem with his posts either. Diplomacy and
emotional detachment from a conversation fare far better than the outright
hatred and vitriol such as the regulars in this group display. The
individual contributions of the regular posters reflects on how the entire
group is perceived.

That reminds me of the time I went to dinner at a married couple's
house and the wife wanted to get in my pants. Her husband weighed a
Troyesque 300 pounds and she complained to me (in private) that sex
with him was no fun because his excess avoirdupois.
So the strategy after a sumptuous dinner of bean stew was to get him
drunk.
We were drinking vodka and 7-up, and she was playing footsie with me
under the table.
Unfortunately, we ran out of 7-up and we were giving the fat guy Coca-
cola glasses full of straight vodka, and he wasn't getting drunk, just
more amorous.
Finally, I gave up and staggered home. The next morning, I discovered
that my shit definitely stinks. The fumes emanating from the toilet
would remove the hairs from your nose if you inhaled them...
