What are the symptoms and mechanical consequences of a motorcycle manual clutch that is adjusted with insufficient free play (clutch cable too tight)?

1. The clutch will slip under acceleration, leading to rapid wear of the friction plates and loss of engine power transmission.
2. The gear shifter will become locked, preventing any gear changes.
3. The engine will idle at a higher speed and consume more fuel.
4. The clutch lever will feel extremely loose and flop around against the handlebar.
