Basically as the title reads... I have it set at the closest setting right now, but it still engages really close to the end of the travel for me.  I would prefer it engaging a bit earlier...

Get some new levers that has more adjustibility. FP racing are my perfered ones.

What do the 796 bikes use for masters?
"Once you accept that a child on the autistic spectrum experiences the world in
 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."
    To realize the value of nine  months:
    Ask a mother who gave birth to a stillborn.

796 coffin masters. You can adjust quite easily, but follow the instructions to the letter. READ THE INSTRUCTION)

thanks a lot for the update, with my winter downtime i figure it's a good time to fiddle with the bike as much as possible... too bad the garage is freezing right now :/  haha

just to be sure... this should be the same operation for the hydraulic clutch as the brake correct?

You're welcome! yes, it's the same on both sides. The main point is to turn it inwards until there's no more fluid surface movement - then back out.

For the brake side - I like the action to begin as soon as possible/with as little lever movement as possible. If that brake effect starting point is too far from the grip, to get a secure grab, adjustable levers might be a smart investment.

For the clutch side to be adjusted like you want - turn it outwards until it engages where you want it to.
IMPORTANT: if you turn it out too much - it will not disengage enough (not spin freely) and the bike will be hard to get into neutral and the clutch discs will wear out quickly.

the main culprit is that ATPC slipper clutch; all real slipper clutches and this ducati versions tend to have most of the engagement at the very end of the lever and it is not very linear. Take some time to get used too but not a big deal imo.
