this one seems to be about right. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1TC2OybT6o

there is one thing i would do different. the top lever adjuster should be around 5mm from fully 'home' when doing the adjustment. this give a little play if over adjusted. top tip, the SV clutch lever adjuster lock nut likes to work loose so nip it up with pliers.

also that lifter mech in the video is well dry they should be well greased.

dont fuss over the measurement of the lever play as its personal preference for bite point (this is why you leave 5mm on the lever adjuster). as long as the clutch disengages/engages properly then all is well.

if you want to get fully anal about the adjustment then there is also a specified 'dwell angle' on the lifter mech that is set by the correct adjustment of the clutch cable in relation to the lifter mech push rod lever.
