So I did the BIG 300 mile service on my '09 Military Saturday morning.
I had already dumped the oils at 100 miles, so it was just a re torque and adjustments.
Nothing weird, valves were good, a few bolts slightly loose, etc.
I had bought a service manual for the new motor, so I was following that.
I had a '04 bullet with the old style cast iron cylinder a few years ago, so I had an idea of what to look for.
So, I read in the manual, loosen the clutch cable, (I had it removed to lube up), R/R the cover, loosen the locking nut, turn the adjusting screw until SLIGHT pressure and tighten up the locking nut.?
I could be wrong, but I swore on the older 5 speeds, you ran the adjusting screw in until contact and back it our 1/4 of a turn.
Funny, that's what this one was out by-1/4 turn.
SO, I split the difference-1/8 turn. Put the cable back on, got the slack out and took 'er for a ride. Seems OK?
So, has the drugs from my youth finally got to the few brain cells I had left or what?
What is the CORRECT adjustment for the adjusting rod??

You can teach old dogs new trick, it's just that they can't remember it for long.

Snidal manual says 1/4 turn on the 5-speed, but if 1/8 is working for you I wouldn't worry too much.  There sometimes isn't much difference between slip and drag.  Kevin M. (CMW) says to tighten the cable "as much as you dare".  I have that there might be only a 1/2 turn between slip and drag.
Joe28,
just re-read your post and realized that I'm in the AVL section of the forum.  If I could delete my post I would.  I'm talking old style iron barrel so FWIW there it is.  Sorry
