Re: clutch adjustment
If your'e not sure, or even if you are, the usual method is to mark the pressure plate and the clutch basket with a reference line. Kick a few compression strokes and see if they are no longer aligned. Keep tightening the springs a little at a time until there is no more slipage.

Re: clutch adjustment
jade---Just remember that 31/32-is not written in stone!--As Srap said until theres no slip/& there rotating evenly!,Sometimes you have to tighten 1,1 to 2 cliks more so everything is turning in a nice circle--NO WOBBLES@--31/32 is my starting point weather 5 or 3-stud clutch.---Respectfully---Richie
