Here we get a little into the engine on the right side. Don't worry you won't see any oil as the clutch push has a seal with the wet clutch on the other side. Any Honda out there will probably be bone dry out there like mine was so just spray some WD40 or something in there to lubricate and help preserve the alloys from corrosion. The nut you see in the middle locks the adjuster screw in place so go ahead and free it a half turn loose. Then I adjusted the screw out (counter clockwise) about one whole rotation with a small screwdriver. This will push the clutch in quite a bit just to free the clutch plates when you pull the clutch lever from the handlebar. The clutch should surely work now so go back and adjust the screw inward (clockwise) back to where it was just so that there is no slack when you pull the clutch lever.



Check the cable adjustment (#2 in the picture in previous post) to make sure it's somewhere in the middle of the adjustment range. This way if you do need to adjust the clutch you can do it either way without taking off the cover again.
