Haha, yup Don is correct.
Both the Throttle and Clutch can be adjusted in two places. Both have a Lever adjuster which is the easiest and unless it's already maxed out should be fine to adjust the throttle.
However the clutch is a different story, and proper adjustment is very important.
"First, loosen the adjuster and the hand lever.
Then, remove the lower left fairing.
On the front of the sprocket cover there's a round black rubber cap. Remove it.
Under it you'll have a, I wanna say 12mm, nut; loosen it. Turn the phillips screw until the slightest bit of resistance is felt.
Turn it out again and tighten once more until the slightest bit of resistance is felt, then back out a 1/4 of a turn. *Important!
Tighten the nut without moving the screw, check for free play at the hand lever, adjust as needed."
Failure to do this properly will result in Clutch Rod failure; So do it correctly!~ Pay attention
