Default 900 Clutch Adjustment

I was wondering if anyone had some insight on how to adjust the clutch on my 900 custom. I want the "friction zone" to be closer to my grip rather than to be out as far as it is. I don't want it to be as soon as I move the clutch lever, but I would like for it to be closer. Since it is a wet clutch I didn't know if it was a big production to get in there and do it. Thanks for your help in advance. You guys/gals always come through.

almost all metric bikes nowadays have the friction zone way out on the end of the clutch travel and usually 1/4 to 1/8 of the clutch stroke to engage and dis-engage
