Alright guys I think I've got a simple question here. I want to adjust my clutch lever to have more play at the end of the lever throw. If I'm not explaining this properly, see picture below.
As it sits now, there is no play whatsoever in the lever. As soon as I nudge it in at all, I can feel the clutch begin to disengage. This leads me to believe that it is not engaging completely in the first place. Further confirmation that the clutch is adjusted out too far: The "bottom" half-ish of the lever throw does nothing whatsoever, the clutch is completely disengaged through this entire portion.
I've read a couple resources on clutch adjustment (namely http://www.cb450stuff.com/manual/ClutchAjd.htm), and I understand it to be pretty simple, but I think I may be missing a piece, which could explain why my clutch is difficult to adjust.
The below image shows a lower adjuster and a lock nut:
This is what my bike looks like at that cable point:
Am I missing the adjuster?
