Default Another clutch adjustment question....

I'm getting ready to do my 45,000 mile service. I have adjusted the clutch during every service before, but the current pull and play are still within specs and I was wondering is it necessary to re-adjust the clutch during this service?
Every thing feels good and I was hoping that I didn't need to, if all is good....

No need to do it if all is good it's just if you have it open to change the primary oil you may as well adjust the clutch it's up to you!

Adjusting it too much doesn't really affect anything. Like was said before, if you have it open it's a lot easier just to do it then.

No problem, run it if it feels OK.

Thanks for the replies.......I did not adjust it this time it feels good and sometimes when I have adjusted it during service it takes a little time to get used to different adjustment and last adjustment was spot on......

Hey, a little time saver on mine: The rear foot board in front of the cover, I just remove the top bolt and you can slide it down and turn it out a little to get to all the torx screws and enough room to remove the cover. Cheers!
