Hi, I am the new owner of an '05 GS500F, just got it out for the first few rides and I'm not sure if it's normal or out of adjustment. The clutch only starts grabbing during the last 1/3 of the levers release, anyone run into this? I can't imagine that it has wear on it that much, it's only got 6000 kms on it. Any insight would be appreciated.
check your adjustment,thats where mine grabs .....kinda enjoy it

Thanks, I was just concerned that there might have been something wrong. My other bike has a hydraulic clutch and starts grabbing about 1/3 out and progressively from there.
I been futzing with that on my bike the last week. Just take off the rubber boot, undo the lock nut, and tighten (clockwise) the adjuster by a half-turn until it's slackened enough to your liking, then retighten the locknut. I don't have huge hands so I prefer a somewhat close clutch release, like less than halfway out.
