Exclamation Clutch Cable Help

Hey guys, im new to the forum, just bought a Harley street glide that has braided cables. The clutch needs a little adjustment but I cant figure out how. I found the adjuster on the clutch cable but it does not have the long nut to adjust with only a jam nut which does not secure anything. any help would be appreciated. thanks

Just loosen the jam nut and turn the two cable housings. It will adjust.

Not sure about the long nut not being there. But here is a video on adjusting the cable, I used these along with the service manual.

you will have your jam nut and the nut below that is your adjuster nut. just lossen the jam nut and adjust it. if your gonna go to all that trouble you might want to open the primary and adjust your clutch while your at it. the braided cables are slightly differnt then the oem cable so it wont be exactly the same in the manual.
