I have 05 XB12R.
Problem is the clutch is not disengaging properly. I have to rev past 3K to downshift otherwise its nearly impossible to downshift.

Primary Oil is ok, its at the bottom barely over the basket.

Primary chain is at the badweb tradition of 3/4.

New Barnett Clutch Plates
XB9 Primary chain and sprocket.
Muller Power Clutch

If I turn the clutch adjustment screw (PN 11765Y) counter clockwise 1 notch the clutch beings to slip. 1 to clockwise and you cant shift at all.

I thought this maybe has something to do with the shift pedal. So I angeled the engine lever more and put the pedal higher. (see picture) Now not only is the pedal about an inch to high, but it didn't help.

Should I ditch the Muller Clutch and Barnett plates and go back to stock?
What do you guys think? Please help as my bike totally sucks right now.

My process for setting my clutch is:
Remove the clutch cable (in my case the magura slave cylinder) to relieve resistance on the clutch.

Turn the clutch Adjustment screw counterclockwise till I fell a bit of resistance, turn 1/8th turn counterclockwise.
Then reassemble. This seems to work except the above issues.
