Answer
Trent, if you can't lock the clutch lifter arm in place with the adjustment bolt, then lay the bike/engine over on the side, so you aren't fighting gravity when the arm wants to fall downwards. It will stay in place better if the cover is horizontal with that side of the engine and the arm is positioned so it drops on top of the gearshift lever.
