Other than for freeplay to the 2-4 mm I don't believe so. It does seem to me that I remember talking to my dealer when the new 600 D's came out a little while ago that they have one and it seemed like they could. Can't remember if they could be fitted. I'll check and see.
Or, I might have had a dream about the whole thing.

JackLilley.com makes a dogleg clutch lever. I have one, yet to be installed. I thought I read where the '05 Sprint will have an adjustable clutch lever, similar to the current brake lever.

Jack Lilley Web Site (UK)

 

I just went to my dealer and ordered the dogleg lever from them with the page printed out from the Jack Lilley website, it has the Triumph part number on it (T2046001). I took the existing lever into Cycle Gear to see if I could find a compatible lever (which I didn't) before I went the dealer route.

It reduced the span just minimally, it was not as effective as I thought it would be.

I don't know which year you have, but on the Jack Lilley site the have a Triumph clutch lever span reduction kit, '99 Sprint only, '01 on RS. Part number A9618002.

The lever I have has no "part number" as such stamped on it...

It does have the initials AD stamped in a 1/2" round indent and a similar circle quartered with 3F in the top half and a 1/2 in the bottom half..

I never did see this as a Triumph part anywhere I looked..

Seems silly that T would make such a thing but not have it in the parts lists I have seen..

glad there are apparently a few options.

I haven't installed mine yet, but I am sure it will help some as I have very stubby fingers...

 

I did not say the lever had a part number stamped on it, the website from Jack Lilley had the part number on it and I took that printout to my dealer who pulled it up on their system to order it for me.

Supposedly it is a part for the Daytona 600 but will also work on the Sprint, I don't think it is a Sprint specific part.

 

Bluedog - how much would you say it reduced the span?

 

It doesn't feel like it moved anymore than about 1/4" closer. I have taken and lined up the old lever on top of the new and it looks like about that distance.

Here is a pic of the new one installed with a tape measure. Kinda had a little difficulty trying to shoot this by myself, I will try to get a more lined up shot after my wife gets home.

This might sound stupid to some of you but here goes. On my RS the lever movement needed for normal clutch operation is only about half of the available travel at the lever. I just adjust mine with more freeplay to lessen the reach. The only down side is you need to tell the dealer to leave it alone during service or they will adjust it back!

 

Triumph offers a clutch span reduction kit that comes with a new lever, shifter mechanism, and gaskets for the job.

I bought the kit, but I'm scared of splitting the cases. One of the gaskets they provided looks to be an inner engine case gasket. I just put the lever on and adjusted the cable for a shorter reach. It helped quite a bit, but I'd like to put the shifter mechanism is also.

 

You better check on that as I thought it ment to REDUCE the travel needed to work the clutch which will make the clutch harder to pull. If the rod that goes into the case has a shorter top lever than the original then this is the case. Of course you could leave a LOT of slop in your lever (even more than I do) with this setup. I think this kit was developed for the Daytona's that were being raced and this was a problem. (to much travel at the lever) I have seen some people actually lengthen the arm on the standard clutch arm to use more travel and make the clutch easier to pull as an added bonus.

Wouldn't reducing the action of the clutch also shorten the span of the lever? I know that the lever included in the kit is shaped to place it closer to the bar. I have it on and it helped some. The clutch is so much lighter than other bikes I've owned that I wouldn't mind it being harder to pull. I've sat in Daytona Beach traffic with the thing and it didn't bother me. My ZX-9 is another story

 

I ordered a Bonnevile clutch lever about £14.50 which is dog leg and I agree it hardly makes any difference. I did read some where that you can slacken of the adjuster at the lever end put some spacers between lever and the poit it returns to then re adjust this brings the lever nearer. I do not know if it works "Tryer beware"

 

FWIW--
The Rocket III has a clutch lever adjustment like the brake adjustments on our bikes. Don't know much about it, though.
