Clutch adjustment
I am wondering if anyone knows which way I need to adjust the clutch screw. My issue is my clutch isn't disengaging fully causing my bike to creep forward when starting as well as when waiting at an intersection.

Primary cold. Most screw up by not deburring that fine thread and don't start backoff at no freeplay. Do not release cable too far. Now screw adjuster all way in and then couple turns further in to deburr.
Now back off till free and then back in to no play. Pull the lever in and out while playing with screw and you will actually fill all play go away. Lever out, go in to no play. Now with no play, back off. Lock the nut. Do not overtighten that fine thread.
Now set cable to minimum play checking at both locks of bars.
Even right, starting in gear cold with clutch pulled will get a jerk as oil stuck drive a driven clutch break free.
Also make sure lubrication is non detergent 50W gear oil. Formual+ is the proven best. Make sure with bike level, it only comes to bottom of the diagram spring ring.
