The quickest way is to adjust the clutch is at the clutch lever. You will notice where the clutch cable enters the top of the clutch lever. There are adjusting nuts there and two of them are longer and have a slit in the side. You loosen all nuts and align the two with the slit so that they form a straight line. Now you tighten the main adjusting nut until you can feel and see that as soon as you pull the clutch lever the wire inside the cable moves and the clutch begins to disengage. At this point you tighten the adjustment nut and disalign the two nuts with the slit. Fasten well. Drive the motorcycle around the block to see how the clutch works, then re-adjust if necessary. It is important that there is no marked dead play or slack in the clutch cable.

How do you adjust clutch on 84 750 Honda shadow?

If it is hydraulic, there is no adjustment, just make sure no air is in the line. If it is cable, then there should be a screw at the clutch lever which will tighten the cable. If the clutch really slips, then, well, plates will have to be replaced.

If your replacing the clutch you shouldn't need to bleed anything. But you probly should adjust it, I'm prety sure the 86 has a cable clutch, which is easy to adjust. if you happen to have a hydrolic clutch you should bleed it just to make sure.
