twist clutch issues

Hi everyone,

over the summer I've been working on my bike, and one of the things that I've added, is a twist clutch from exile.
I promise to post pictures/video once I'm happy with it (i think i need a paint job now) but before i can even get it to the place that will eventually paint it, i need to get it there.

I can't seem to adjust the clutch properly, it either dies when I put it in first, or the 1st engages, but the bike keeps wanting to go forward when the clutch is fully twisted.

I've been playing with the adjuster, but I can't get it right...can someone please tell me what to do?

Thanks,

L

If your referring to the adjuster on the cable, that's only for adjusting cable slack.
The clutch adjustment you need is a screw inside the derby cover. The procedure for adjusting the clutch is in the Service Manual, or you can probably find a YouTube video on how it's done.
