How do you know if you need to adjust your clutch cable or if your clutches are bad if you have to rev up in first gear to make it go?

Sounds like the clutch is slipping and needs to be replaced - if cable was stretched clutch would not disengage and vehicle would creep in 1st gear and shifting would be difficult

Can you adjust a clutch on a Peugeot 806?
No you can't: the clutch on the Peugeot 806 is operated by a self-adjusting cable, so there is no need/facility to manually adjust it. One important point to note if you are replacing the clutch cable - the cable's self-adjusting mechanism is situated towards the pedal end of the cable, at the point at which the cable passes through the bulkhead. It comes with a plastic shroud around the mechanism and this shroud must NOT be removed until the replacement cable is fitted at both ends, i.e., at the gearbox end and at the pedal end. Once the cable is so connected, the plastic shroud can be removed, the clutch pedal can be depressed, and the cable will then automatically adjust itself. Also note that there are two cables available for this vehicle of differing length: 1760mm length cable to fit the ME gearbox, and 1578mm length cable to fit the ML gearbox. Either check your gearbox type or measure the old cable first to ensure you have the correct one.

How do you adjust the clutch on a yfm 200?
You have two adjustment points that can be adjusted. The first one I would attempt would be on the clutch perch (lever). It is the adjuster on the cable side of the perch. Run it out until you have no play in the lever then back it off until you have approx 1/8" of play. If you overtighten the cable it is prove to damage the clutch and/or clutch rods. If you don't have enough adjustment on the perch you will have to remove the clutch cover and adjust it in the middle of the clutch basket. If that doesn't work you either need new clutch plates or have other issues ie...red welding to ball bearing separating the 2 push rods, push lever damaged or worn...etc....

How do you change the clutch cable on a 1995 Neon?
First, the clutch cable is self adjusting, don't pull on the clutch cable housing to remove it from the dash panel, the self adjuster may be damaged. Remove the power distribution center and the transaxle cover. Pull back on the clutch cable housing and disconnect the cable. Pull the cable from the slot in the transaxle and disconnect the cable from the release lever. Push in the clutch cable and remove the cable from the pedal. Pull the cable from the dash using a slight twisting motion. Installation is the reverse proceedure. You may want to get a manual for all the 8x10 glossy photos and stuff.
How do you adjust clutch cable on 03 lowrider harley?
Adjusting the cable alone isn't the correct way to adjust the clutch, it must first be adjusted at the clutch adjuster screw. First loosen the cable adjuster to give as much slack as possible (basically you're shortening the cable sheath). Then remove the derby cover (large round dome-shaped cover on the chaincase). In the center of the clutch you'll see the adjuster screw with a locknut. Loosen the locknut with an 11/16 wrench and back the adjuster screw out a couple of turns using a 7/32" Allen wrench. Now turn the adjuster screw inward (clockwise) until it bottoms out, but not real hard. Then back the screw out 1/2 to 3/4 turn and while holding the adjuster screw in that position with the Allen wrench, tighten the locknut securely. Put the derby cover back on. Now adjust the cable so that there's 1/16" to 1/8" (less is better) inch of play between the ferrule (that's the cable's "collar" at the lever end) and the lever bracket. To get an accurate reading, use one hand to pull the sheath away from the lever bracket while working the lever back & forth with the other hand. Many people like to adjust their clutch cable so that the clutch engages/disengages when the lever's very close to the grip (so they don't have to reach their fingers as far), but that can cause clunky shifting and difficulty finding neutral because the clutch needs as much travel as possible for the clutch plates to fully separate (disengage). You want the very minimum of free play in the lever, in other words the lever should move only a tiny amount before the clutch starts to disengage. Don't adjust your clutch for comfort, adjust it for performance. At least 80% of all Harley shifting problems are caused by clutch drag from improper adjustment.
The clutch is staying engaged on your 1993 sportster and you have tried to adjust it but even with everthing slack it will not disengage Is the clutch just shot or is there internal adjustments to be?
The clutch cable oprerates a cam plate where 3 ball-bearings travel in tapered channels. First check the operation of the cam plate. On the other side of the bike (primary cover) is the clutch basket. Check spring adjustment before condemning the clutch plates.
