Clutch engagement point

Hello,

I have a 2007 SV650, on which I recently installed some Pazzo shorty levers. I installed the pazzos because I was hoping that the adjustability would allow me to 2 finger clutch it. However, I have been running into the following issue:

The bike clutches and shifts as normal when the lever is fully pressed to the grip. However, when I try to 2-finger clutch it (index and middle finger, leaving the ring and pinkie fingers behind the lever) the lever hits my other 2 fingers, making the shifts clunky. It's as if the clutch isn't fully disengaged. If I wanted to adjust my engagement point about an inch away from the grip, would I be able to do that? I have already adjusted the Pazzo to position 6, which is the furthest.

To make this adjustment, can I do it from the handlebar, or do I have to open the case on the tranny?

Thanks.

How much free play you got at the clutch lever?

Readjust the clutch starting from the actuator down to the lever according to the shop manual.
