    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Mandatory adjustments after replacing clutch cable

I just replaced my clutch cable with a shorter one to accommodate the lower bars. The Clymer manual says I need to remove the clutch adjustment covet itself and adjust the actual clutch. Issues is that the PO stripped out the two screws on the cover and I can't get it off. Since I only replaced the cable and not the clutch itself is it absolutely mandatory that iI adjust the clutch or can I just adjust the cable?
 
you need to get those screws out so you can adjust the cable properly. if not you could end up with a badly operating clutch, slipping or dragging.

Thanks, will do. Seems to be ok right now just messing with the cable, but I've got nothing to base "OK" on so I'll get the big cover back off tonight and drill out the two screws on the adjustment cover. Then we'll see how well the Clymer manual can walk this newb through adjusting the clutch, haha.
 
it is really easy to do it properly. if the manual confuses you ask here and someone will give you a step by step guide. have a go yourself first and see how you get on.
 
Screw it in lightly until it just barely touches. Back it out 1/4 turn. Set the locknut.
