I am no expert, but if you have not flushed the engine oil (do not go with what the seller said ) , I would recommend to do that first and ride for 2 to 4 days to notice if it has fixed itself.
You could adjust the clutch cable at the lever end & on the engine end. Also try to put a few drops of lube in the cable to smoothen it out or you could also use sewing machine oil drops, to lube the cable.

You don't want to do that. The cables are lubricated with graphite. That "cable click sensation" is totally normal for the Assist and Slipper clutch (see my previous post in this thread) as I've felt it and have others. The "clicks" are the clutch grip ramps releasing when you pull the lever. They're not felt 100% of the time. It depends on how much load is on the clutch, RPM, and speed. I usually feel it when I pull the clutch lever when I'm about to stop. The owner's manual addresses how much play or slack you should adjust the clutch lever for.

Understood. It's normal. When they say freeplay do you mean the amount of slack b4 the lever starts to pull on the cable, or the amount of movement b4 the friction zone? Sorry for these basic questions. I have little maintenance experience.

Yes. Page 109 in the online manual I linked. It's a good idea to read the entire manual.
Honda's clutch typically grab near the end of the lever release point.

Interesting. I've owned only Hondas my whole life but they were dirtbikes and it was always about halfway. I figured the previous owner abused the clutch and it was worn. Good to know. Thanks again.

My experience is with Honda street. I've owned a 600RR, 3 SC57 models, a SC77, this SC80 and others. All the clutches have been consistent.

I can't tell you the amount of stress you have saved me from. I bought this bike and had it shipped site unseen so I was thinking I was fucked for the dealer to stand by any problems. It's a honda. I know better. Their bikes are solid. I hope life blesses you with perfectly paved twisties and a full tank of gas!

Acabo de comprar una cb1000r 2019 y solo la he montado dos veces hasta ahora. Todavía demasiado frío por desgracia. Así que estoy notando algunas cosas relacionadas con los cambios que son preocupantes, pero no estoy seguro de si es normal. De vez en cuando tengo una sensación de clic de cable en el embrague y no estoy seguro de si es un comportamiento normal de la zapatilla. El embrague también agarra mucho más de lo que estoy acostumbrado. Como 3/4 del final del recorrido del embrague, comienza la zona de fricción. Estoy acostumbrado a la mitad del camino. La bicicleta solo tiene 4000 millas y, asumiendo que el propietario anterior no estaba desquiciado, no creo que esté desgastada. Además, ayer noté que cambiar de 2 a 3 a veces era difícil. Muy inconsistente. Perdí algunos turnos y luego le presté más atención. Parece que casi se atasca a veces. Realmente tendría que intentar cambiar con la colocación e intención adecuadas de los pies. No sin esfuerzo y suave como lo había sido todo el día. No puedo decir si fue fatiga porque estuve 3.5 horas en un viaje enérgico, una colocación incorrecta de los pies o un problema trans. Por lo que leí, no hay muchos problemas de Trans en esta bicicleta. Espero que hayan sido mis grandes pies gordos jajaja. ¿Se pregunta si alguien más notó estas cosas?

Puedes estar teniendo problemas con la lubricacion del cable o hebras de mismsueltas dentro del forro del cable, por lo general la motocicleta tiene a salir con el embrague bien atras eso es regla general en casi todos los modelos de honda

Gracias amigo. comprobaré la integridad del cable.

1. For me personally -- I have (by far) the best results with smooth shifting when the clutch is adjusted to the ragged edge of tight. (Obviously -- you don't want it over tight, i.e., test it by turning the handle bars to the right and to the left while the engine is running. It is too tight if the engine RPMs increase when you crank the handle bar R/L)

2. Missed shifts can result when the gear shift lever is too high for your shoes/boots. If the gear shift lever is too high -- you're going to miss shifts because you may not have enough leverage during the upshift. This will be particularly true after a long ride and you're tired. I like mine on the ragged edge of low. (The gear shift lever is easily adjustable and there are numerous videos on YouTube).

Based on what I know, there is almost no chance there is an issue with the transmission and clutch. And yes -- it is normal to feel/hear a slight hitch/click with regard to an assist and slipper clutch. My Street Triple and my Z900RS both made similar type 'clicks'.

Understood, but I was having issues with traditional upshifting. Idk maybe I was just fatigued. It didn't happen all ride except for the last 30min.
