BTW as a side note a common big no no, is some big muscles doing bolts up "super tight" .. unless it requires a set torque itīs not necessary to do bolts up to test your muscles .. this only strips threads and makes you a numpty!!

Is 6 to be positioned as low as possible and moved up as cable is stretched beyond lever adjuster range?

Cheers

Just done my clutch too. Tried the same method a la squid anna et al...but when I screw in the screw and move it out a tad then adjust the cable tension etc then start up the bike and put it in gear, it just stays disengaged so I end up turning the screw back out about 2 whole turns so that the engine actually does something...like engage with the gears...if that makes sense...

I wouldn't mess with the screw with the engine on. Did you loosen everything off before touching the screw?

I didn't do it whilst the engine was running. Stuff was all loosened prior to adjustment.

Did the adjustment (screwed it in and then out a tad) - fiddled with cable adjusters to tighten cable, started engine, selected first, let out clutch, bike went nowhere.
Turned off engine. Repeated above but unscrewed the little screw a bit further and so on.

Repeated about three time until the gear finally bit...
