Default Clutch Adjustment ??

I have a 2010 FLHX and came across this video on YouTube showing how to do a clutch adjustment on a 2008 Road Glide. Is this video accurate? If so, do these steps still work on 2010 and newer bikes?

good find im about to change my bars out and have never been good at adjusting cables and reading the manual is like hittting me on the head with a mallet. this guy has a vid on the clutch cable install that is very good as well.

Just to add something....I would cover that front fender & maybe the gas tank too, box wrenches have a way of slipping out of my hands...

I have always adjusted my clutches but still do not quite believe i understand exactly where it is the adjusting screw begins to seat. When you screw it in you feel it contact something with light resistance and the resistance increases as you go farther until finally the resistance is high. I screw it in and out several times until I think I have it then back off as the manual says. It always works so I guess i stop at the right depth.
