Idles around 1100 rpm no slippage just seems loud not sure if it's normal
If you can get it into neutral while idling in gear at a dead stop, AND it doesn't slip, that is as good as it gets.
There are 3 places to do adjustments.
First you take the smaller clutch adjustment cover off the main sprocket cover. You will see the cable attaches to the actuator. On the actuator is a jam nut and a set screw arrangemant. Loosen the nut and turn the screw in till it touches the push rod then back out about 1/4 turn and lock down the jam nut.
Secondly, you use the nut where the cable passes thru the cover as your mian adjustment point. Set the threaded part of the adjuster at the bars so youre about center of the threads in the perch.
Now make all major adjustments with the nut down at the sprocket cover. Once you get it feeling real good from the lower nut adjustment, you make all your fine tuning adjustments up at the lever.
And my 77 750 makes a little clunk too. So did my 78. Seems to be a normal thing.

It makes the clunk sound because the oil in the clutch causes a slight drag in the clutch. As long as the bike doesn't try to lurch forward and the clutch doesn't slip you should be fine. If you are concerned about the noise try pulling your clutch in and waiting about 10 seconds before you try to kick it to first. This will give your transmission gears time to slow down before the shift.

You could probably drop that idle down a bit too...

Ok, I have the same bike. I just put a 530 chain and sprockets on. I have put everything back together but know I am have problems with my clutch, I know how to adjust it, my problem is not havering the middle place. If I adjust it one way, then I idal while being in gear. If I adjust it the other way just a little bit it takes off in first with clutch handle pulled in. I have read the manual and tried to adjust it many times. Any ideas?
