What manual are you using? On the 550, as part of the clutch adjustment procedure,
you're supposed to turn the clutch release adjusting screw counterclockwise first until hard to turn,
then clockwise 1/2 turn (or 1/4?).

KZRider loudhvx's motorcycle stuff page --->>> then click the clutch adjustment/correction link about half way down the page.
