I could not adjust my clutch as per the book,on my 350cc model 2. but what I
ended up doing was to remove the round cover and with the engine running, and
the clutch depressed, adjusted the stops untill it just stopped rotating,which
worked ok, my gearbox is a AT with wide ratios I think judgeing by the jump
between gears.

bump start the bike I rarely find it necessary to select neutral when stationary
