I own a NC35 and looking for some advice on the clutch. When operating the clutch it starts to creep forward when the clutch lever is nearly all the way out, i much prefer it to start to engage when lever is halfway out. My question is can the clutch be adjusted to do this or is it a sign that the clutch needs to be renewed. Hope somebody can advise me, thanks.

you could try adjusting free play in the cable at either the lever or clutch arm to give a bit more slack just enough to leave a small bit of slack at the clutch lever then biting point should be closer to the bar worth a go if theres no free play at lever end then clutch wont fully engage and biting point is further out if no slack.

I personally hate it like that and prefer it to bite about an inch from fully engaged. If the bike is maintained well, adjustment using the adjuster wheel will suffice, undo the wheel and uncsrew or screw in the adjuster to your requirements then tighten the locking wheel.
