HI Martyn, thanks for all the great info. I wrote down the procedure for auto clutch adjustment and went out there and did it. Now it shifts crisply without any slop. I've only had the bike for a couple of months and up until 2 weeks ago I was chasing electrical problems. I am just now getting to enjoy this great little machine.  Thanks again and I'll be back often. Best Regards, Festus in Montana
