Default Adjusting clutch

My 07 FLHX has nearly 50 k and I was thinking I should do an internal adjustment? I have done it once on a friends bike but quickly how again?

thanks very much

take off derby cover, loosen jam nut on shaft, turn shaft with allen wrench until resistance is felt, then back off 1/2 turn and tighten jam nut back to torque spec

"50 k" as in 50,000 miles without a clutch adjustment?

Gotta' ask, How often do you check your tire pressures?

If it ain't broke...

The service manual has the best instructions, IMHO.
