Clutch adjustment help?

I have an 02 Dyna and the clutch is getting rather hard to pull in, is there a way to adjust it, there is no adjustment screw on the clutch lever, any help will be greatly appreciated by myself and my wrist, thanks,

I'd say either lube the cable or replace it cause it is either going to fix it, or you need a new throwout bearing for the clutch.

BTW, adjusting the clutch will not make it easier to collapse the lever.

Do a complete clutch adjustment with the bike 100% cold. Then lube & adjust the cable. Very easy to do.
