Unadjust your cable 1st then adjust your clutch pack all when it's cold per the Manual for your bike you should be good to go!

Several things going on here. Adjust your clutch basket cold, after loosening your clutch cable. Go to How To videos on you tube, several video's on this adjustment. Also drain and change the primary fluid to a mineral oil such as Rotella T 15w40 or non synthetic primary specific fluid.

Or a specific Primary Fluid, like F+, Red Line synthetic primary or Drag Specialties Primary Fluid

Proper procedures do seem to alleviate certain problems. It seems that buddy's create more problems, some times, than they correct.
