Clutch Adjustment Video

Here's an easy explanation of doing the clutch adjustment in a video.

This is the clutch cable adjuster.

For a bit more input on clutch cable adjustment, refer to this page which is an older harley but the cable adjuster and free play still pertain to the newer models. Figures 2 and 3 are for an older bike.

Maintaining Your Clutch Cable

Just a tip here, it will be easier when doing the clutch adjustment to put the trans in 5th gear so the lock nut will be easier to loosen and tighten after you are done without it turning.
Turning the center clutch adjuster nut more then the 1/2 turn towards 3/4 of a turn will bring the clutch friction zone closer to the bar, but you don't want it too close to the bar because the result is incomplete plate separation and neutral will be hard to find.
