The only way to adjust a hydraulic clutch is to have a special rod with an adjuster fabricated by someone who knows what they are doing. It is possible to have a machine shop make one, but you also have to take into consideration, that it has to be made of some hardened steel so it doesn't bend. Also; if you choose to go this route, you must use springs to keep it all together, and the slack out of the rod.
Changing the adjustment will not help your clutch if it catches near the top already. Two things will cause this. One, the disk is worn out, and doesn't have enough facing left on it to catch at a lower setting. Two, if you had the clutch replaced and the flywheel was resurfaced. When one cuts say .020" off a flywheel, that same amount must be replaced by putting .020" shim between the flywheel and the crank shaft in order to move the flywheel back to its original location in relation to the slave cylinder. One thing that might help, would be to elongate the mounting holes in the slave cylinder, as this would give you some adjustment, but if it is mounted in an area that would make the cylinder weak, it may very well break right off the mounts.
Glad I could help you. Good Luck!!!

A clutch will not be damaged by having it held in or out - the most wear on a clutch is the space directly between those two. If you ride around with the clutch half in, THAT will destroy it. Anything else is just normal wear. I second the suggestion about keeping the bike in-gear with the clutch engaged, for a number of reasons 1). If you see a car coming up behind you that isn't going to stop, you can easily pull forward or to the side quickly. 2). When the light turns green and you try to pull away but forget that you're in neutral, you'll be A). embarrassed and B). off-balance, and you might drop the bike. Same thing if you leave the bike in the wrong gear at a light (done that more times than I can count).

It's hydraulic, not much that can be done. Your clutch may be on the way out, have a word with a garage.
