Answer
Loosen the adjuster and the cable so there is alot of slack in it. Push the cable back towards the primary, that way the pivit arm is all the way back. Now go to the clutch adjuster in the center and turn it inward, just until it bottoms out and then outward about 1/8 of a turn. Now go to the cable and adjust it until you have about 1/8 inch play in the clutch lever and your set
good luck and happy riding
