Answer
Answer
I found this on the web for you... it is for CT110s, but applies to most all auto clutch models.

CLUTCH Adjustment:

The clutch is adjusted with the engine off. Remove the cover protector and loosen the adjuster lock nut. Turn the clutch adjuster clockwise one turn; do not turn excessively.

Slowly turn the adjuster counterclockwise until a slight resistance is felt. From this position, turn the adjuster clockwise 1/8 turn, and tighten the lock nut. After adjustment, test ride the motorcycle to be certain the clutch operates properly.

The engine should start easily with the kickstarter, without the clutch slipping. When shifting gears, the clutch operation should be smooth and light, especially when shifting into neutral.

PS. They do tend to clunk into gear, especially with a cold engine. If the clutch is adjusted, but still dragging, the gears will continue to be difficult to engage in and out of neutral. If that is the case, then the clutch should be removed for inspection and repair.
