adjusting clutch travel - r1

I have a cable clutch which since fitting my barnett needs adjusting. keep getting in a pickle trying to adjust the free play.

right now the biting point is very very low down, and there is loads of free travel at the top of the pedal (very loose)

the only adjustment I can see is

arrow and dot. (i guess these need to be inline as best as possible using the splines on the lever)

the second is the clutch cable end which has two nuts which adjust how much cable is "sticking out" - any tips as to how to set this up for a nicer feel? Do i need to return more cable or less?

The arrow and dot should be aligned. You need to take slack out of the cable to give a higher biting point. Don't take out too much as the R1 clutch can trow too far if you do; leave some free play in the cable/lever.

On the diaphram spring R1's it flips the spring inside-out. You press the clutch and when you release it doesn't re-engage.

If you've got an '04 or later or a Barnett conversion then I think your OK.
