What Mr Gazza said! Because the piston is larger, for any given movement at the lever, you'll get less movement of the clutch pushrod but with less effort when compared to the stock unit. So opening up the lever span is often needed.

My Evo always clunks into first and the fact that you can easily select neutral from first suggests all is well. A further check is to put it on the paddock stand, select first and, with the clutch held in, try to rotate the wheel with your hand. It should turn easily even when cold. You'll feel resistance and it won't spin but you should be able to move it without too much effort.

Of course, if you're running out of lever adjustment, perhaps that's just the excuse you need to get some nice ASV levers!
