I had to undo the clutch cable locking nut, back off the middle adjusting screw, then tighten things up again from the other side, then it all worked nicely again once the clutch adjustment nut was adjusted to the new plates position.
Hope that makes sense?
I've done this to no avail unfortunately, backed the push rod side of the adjuster off completely and readjusted to quarter turn before tight (with clutch adjuster flush as loose as possible) and no dice. Cable just feels like i'm pulling against itself i.e. stretching it
You're describing adjusting the clutch cable starting with the lower end, which is obviously the correct way to do things.
I'm on about when tightening up everything from the other side of the bike, my adjuster middle screw was poking out too far so when everything was tightened up in the clutch area it was pushing onto that screw so nothing was seated properly, and in turn never functioned properly either.
Once I figured it out and backed of the adjuster nut & screw, then went around the right side of the bike to undo then retighten everything properly again and I could feel that it had all seated itself much better and further into place.
Once that was all nice and cosy I then finished the usual nut & screw adjustment on the left side of the bike.
Apologies, I do vaguely remember it, but also have got a bit of a memory issue to deal with due to a previous head injury. Wouldn't be surprised if I've mentioned it on here around the time I was doing it though?
