My biggest concern in adjusting the clutch was that I couldn't find a clear explanation as to what that adjustment does. The service manual says to back it out 1/2 to 1 full turn. In the DVD it say the same and says it's "critical to how the cluck lever grabs". How does it work? The farther you turn the adjustment screw out causes which, the clutch to grab sooner or later?
Thanks

1/2 turn is normal for most people. If you turn it to 3/4 or 1 it will grab sooner. Motorcops and those that do slow maneuvers turn it out to 1. I run 1/2 turn and use a nickel's width at the perch ferrule. Best thing to do is turn the adjuster in until you feel resistance and repeat this about 3 times so you know that you are feeling it right then back it out.

Thanks Dawg, that is exactly what I was looking for. I'll take a shot at it this weekend.
