Follow the clutch cable to the rubber boot (should be clamped to the left down tube), and push the boot down the cable til the adjuster is visible. Loosen the jam nut and tighten or loosen the adjuster until you have 1/16 - 1/8 inch free play in the lever. Tighten the jam nut, remove any corrosion on the adjuster and spray a little WD40 on it. Slide the boot back up and ride.
