There is an adjustment on the bushing that pushes the pressure plate bearing. If you take off the clutch cover....right in the middle of the pressure plate you'll see a locknut with a flat head adjuster. I adjusted it about a quarter turn back from fully tight...not sure if that's right. If you make it completely tight, I'm pretty sure it would hold the pressure plate off and wear the clutch prematurely.

ohhh ok yes i c..........


ummm if it were the standard clutch there would be a correct setting, but as its not id suggest leaving it as it was and seeing how it feels, i would have thought the manufacturer would use that setting to avoid that problem ...........

If I remember correctly the way to do the stock system is to put a lot of slack at the lever and then adjust at the basket end. Tighten the adjuster until there is not freeplay and then back it off about a half turn then tighten the lock nut. This should give you plenty of adjustment up at the lever.
