Question what the clutch?

Was riding home tonight and my clutch lever started feeling loose. Downshifting to a red light I realized it wasn't disengaging the clutch fully. A little freaky not being able to pull the lever into neutral...

Rode in first gear to my storage unit and checked the cable. There is too much play between the lever and the ferrule and the housing is loose. Got a ride home and stopped by the dealership on the way home. Mechanic said I could just adjust the cable adjuster - especially considering that I just pasted the 10K mark and was planning on getting her serviced next week.

Plan on adjusting the clutch cable tomorrow to get back on the road. Got my tools together and read the manual. In case the clutch cable adjuster doesn't do it and I have to get into the primary, what size nut is on the clutch adjuster screw?

The jam nut in the primary should be 11/16.
