OK, so the "cough" Impulse is slowly getting there (initial enthusiasm wained

) have noticed that with the clutch pulled in and engage gear, the bike is trying to creep forward a little. So the clutch is not holding it right ? also its very hard shifting through the gears and neutral is hard to find with the engine running ,so i am hoping that this confirms that the clutch needs adjusting right ?
Whats the procedure for adjusting the clutch ?
please and thank you, and as usual feel free to take the piss as well

Did you have the plates out at all? When i changed my clutch it did the same thing for the first few hours running in but now its sweet. Heavier springs made it engage quicker so i only let the lever out about 10mm before it starts to engage.
