Hey guys, another newbie here, bought my first bike. A 1982 kawasaki ltd kz440 so im trying to fix it up and possibly bob it out but im having a little trouble with the clutch. It doesnt have the adjustment screw/cover on the left side and The clutch cable goes straight to the top of the clucth cover, any ideas?

Did you follow the adjustment procedure in the owner's manual or service manual.
There are some rather specific instructions for positioning & adjusting that type of clutch release.
From my limited knowledge of that type of adjuster, if the adjustment doesn't work, the clutch cable could be stretched.
So the next thing to try is to install a new & correct clutch cable, then adjust it accordingly. I would replace the o-ring.
