Hey Loverboy,
You really should invest in a service manual. Every job on the bike is covered. Just take up most all the slack with the clutch end and then fine tune the adjustment up top by your lever. Loosen the thumb wheel and take up on the slack until you see the lever starting to pull the clutch in with about an eighth inch gap from your lever to the stationary part. Thats about the best I can do for you.
