The only thing they adjusted, was the size of your wallet bearings!

So they removed the clutch adjustment under the derby cover? Seems odd...

Its not odd in any way. They didn't remove anything, its hydraulic vs mechanical, so its different. Do you "adjust" your brakes?

I have an aftermarket hydraulic clutch, that still has the clutch adjustment in the primary...I can adjust the distance from the bars that it engages in seconds...so it seems odd...

Bet the aftermarket comes up with an adjustment for that in no time...not everyone like their "zone" the same...

In no time? Hydraulic clutches have been on M8's for 4 model years now. Longer for CVO's. I guess if you're a tectonic plate, this wait amounts to "no time"

An adjustment to control where the hydraulic clutch engages has been out for a while...guess I don't have to wait on them tectonic plates...

Fine, but you're not adjusting the clutch, you're adjusting the lever.

That’s not a clutch adjustment. The clutch works exactly the same no matter what position you put the lever. Thats for the reach for those with little hands.
