I just replaced the stator in my '08 XB12Ss and had to remove the primary chain, clutch, etc. as part of the job. I think I followed the service manual to the tee, but my clutch lever doesn't seem to bottom out on the grip anymore. I had to make an adjustment to the clutch adjuster on the primary case and I've adjusted the clutch cable adjuster to get about 1/8" of freeplay on the lever. I also adjusted the primary chain to have between 3/8 - 1/2" of play (cold adjustment).

If the clutch lever doesn't bottom out on the grip, is that even an issue? Does it sound like a familiar misadjustment? Bike runs and shifts fine.
