Another Clutch adjustment question

[dadsafrantic]

I know there are threads on this subject and I have looked but I may be too tired to see the correct one.  How do I adjust my clutch?

Check the how-to section on the home page, there's a writeup there.

The adjustment under the boot on the clutch lever can be used to make clutch freeplay adjustments as covered in Kerry's video but all three clutch adjustments should be made first.  Then future minor freeplay adjustments can be made at the handlebar lever as described in the video.

First pull back the boot at the handlebar clutch lever and loosen the lock wheel and turn the adjustment all the way in and lock.  Then loosen the locknut at the other end of the cable where it goes into the front sprocket cover housing and turn the cable adjustment in to give much more freeplay to unload the pushroad adjustment.

To adjust the clutch push rod freeplay remove the little cover on the sprocket housing held on by 2 phillips screws.  Loosen the locknut with a 10 mm socket and back out the slotted adjustment screw it holds with a screwdriver a turn or two until it's free of the pushrod.  Then while holding the locknut turn the screw back in until it contacts the rod and back out 1/4-1/2 turn to set freeplay and hold screw with screwdriver while locking down the locknut.  I clamp vicegrips on a deep 10 mm socket to tighten the locknut while holding the screw with the screwdriver inserted thru the socket.

Finally turn the clutch cable adjustment out of the housing to get proper clutch freeplay and tighten locknut.  The clutch lever adjustment at the handlebar will then be available for future freeplay adjustments.

I've got a question, not sure if it only happens to me, or everyone. When I go to the wiki, and try to look at certain pages, such as the "how to adjust a clutch page" and a couple others I can't remember, instead of bringing up the page it brings up a box and says "Password", I tried my normal sign in password but it doesn't work. Is there a password we're supposed to use to get in there, is that part of the wiki not working right, or am I the only person this even happens to?

I'd like to see Kerry's videos, but I'm assuming that's where they're at.

I found that video at gstwins.com under How To.  The gstwins site original front page.
