i've only adjusted my clutch once by the book. so i dont have much to compair my one adjustment too...

loosen the cable adjustment in 1/4 turn increments or less. then check for engagement. Once it is where you want it, tighten the adjuster up.

adjust the allen bolt in till it lightly seats.That means it just starts to resist your turning it. Also before turning it in turn it out a few turns then turn it back.
