To remove clutch cable. Remove oil filler cap from kickstarter case cover.
Screw right home the clutch cable adjuster, as far as it will go.

slip. Conversely, excessive movement in the clutch cable will prevent
separation of the friction plates and cause the clutch to drag, thus making
the gear selection difficult.
As the clutch inserts tend to settle down, this has the effect of lengthen-
