When adjusting the clutch cable especially after fitting a new clutch cable, start at the sprocket cover adjuster
This is easy enough to do, but before you do ensure the pivot hole in the clutch lever is not elongated from use, because if it is your wasting your time until you replace it.
Screw in the cable adjuster full at the lever end.
Remove the rubber bung on the sprocket cover
Loosen the lock nut with a deep spanner ( it will loosen with a crack and frighten the crap out of you)
Turn the lock nut anti clockwise a full turn
Hold you fingers lightly on the clutch lever
Turn the centre screw clockwise with a good fitting flat screwdriver
You will feel the lever moving out
Keep turning the screw until the lever is about 5 to 6mm from the lever housing.
Tighten the locknut.
Replace the rubber bung
Make the final fine adjustments with the cable adjuster at the lever
