if its slipping then its time for an oil change, if oil is new its time for a change of friction disks

Well my clutch is pretty new. Like on my perch it is adjusted all the way in darn near and the engine is pretty much in the center and the lever has about half an inch of play. I can understand that the perch adjustment is dealing with the lever free play but how should you adjust down on the motor? I hope that makes sense.

from the book its easier then trying to explain... but if you have a half an inch of lever play its were it should be... if it is slipping or catching its in the disks
