great job Dave, you are going to be a damnn super star if you keep this up
Two separate adjustments are mixed-up together in subject video.
1) Clutch adjustment, inside primary, sets pre-load of ramp-style clutch actuator.
2)Cable, and clutch hand lever free-play, are adjusted at cable adjuster: a part of clutch cable, protected by accordion boot below steering head.
Yup, completely missing half of the adjustment.Two separate adjustments are mixed-up together in subject video.
1) Clutch adjustment, inside primary, sets pre-load of ramp-style clutch actuator.
2)Cable, and clutch hand lever free-play, are adjusted at cable adjuster: a part of clutch cable, protected by accordion boot below steering head.
And the fact the 1/16''-1/8''freeplay is inbetween the clutch cable ferrule and the clutch lever mount. You're supposed to pull the cable sleeve away from the clutch lever mount to check for that 1/16''-1/8'' measurement. WTF was the wiggling of the lever up and down for?
why have another topic when dave already has a sticky for just his videos?
I thought it was great. The wriggling a bit misleading if you didn't know better,but pretty good.
The video is nice looking, but does not demonstrate a proper clutch adjustment. It completely skips the cable slacking step & cable re-tightening.
If you want to do it right, RTFM. Otherwise, there is another video on youtube that is not perfect, but it is much better than this one.

I think Dave gives a quick guide for an adjustment just in case you cannot do the whole clutch adjust until you are able to.
The video says to turn the adjusting screw until it stop and then back it a 1/4 turn.

The manual says: Using a flat tip screwdriver, turn adjusting screw (3) counterclockwise until it lightly bottoms.
So are we supposed to just turn the adjust screw until we feel some resistance (then back off) or turn it all the way until it stops (then back off)?
