To check if you have too much slack in your clutch lever -

You should have a few mm of freeplay (don't know what Triumph recommend), where the clutch is just free to move with no tension in the cable what so ever.

If you have too much slack on the lever, slacken the big locking nut off, screw the smaller nut out until you hav e a few mm freeplay, then retighten the locking nut. Go for a ride and check if it's any better.

Don't know about anyone else but I feel as if the clutch lever is a poor design on the Tiger - too much of a stretch.

If you bought the bike second hand and the previous owner had little hands, he / she may have adjusted the lever too far in making gear changing difficult.

Let us know how you got on.
