Need to find this out too... my lever had a lot of freeplay, so I adjusted the screws next to it... and it was fine for a day and now the freeplay is back...

i Doubt if the cable has stretched that much. The clutch needs adjusting.
Wind the adjuster fully in Take off the front sprocket cover using a 10mm amd 12mm spanner, adjust the cable. The lever should be at a little above horizontal (in front of the sprocket) Tighten up the lock nuts. you will see a small crewdriver slot on the thing that the lever is attached to, and around this is a 10mm nut. loosen the nut, and turn the screw clockwise until you feel some pressure, then turn back a little. Holding the screw so it dont move, re tighten the nut. Once done, you can adjust the freeplay at the lever end to suit. I hope this helps

re
adjusted clutch cable :-
Loosened the lock nut ( it had already worked loose from new) at lever & took up slack , strange thing was i took up too much slack initialy , therefore backed off adjuster at lever & this did not increase slack , which was strange , therfore took off sprocket cover & slightly backed off adjustment at lower cable adjuster which did the trick , just fine tuned to 15 mm via lever adjuster. did not touch the clutch screw as only done 2k miles . Also dropped the clutch & brake level slightly as appears too high as standard ( might be me) Cheers Steve
