Thanks...I will have to give it another try, I did exactly as the video...trying to get it closer to grip for more control, have arthritis in my hands and alot of slow moving traffic doesnt help at all.... appreciate the help

the instructions say to tighten the screw until it lightly touches then tighten the nut. I have discovered that you can get a false bottom out feel. now I will turn the screw until it lightly touches bottom, then I will squeeze the clutch handle a few times. this has at times allowed the screw to be tightened further. never kept track mind you, but 1/4 turn more in at the start affects the end result. when I hear some say they followed the steps in the manual and had to go back in, or it slipped etc. it makes me wonder if they felt a false bottom too.

The one step they fail to show in the video (squeezing clutch a few times) made all the difference.............Thanks
