Snakepit - after a couple of weeks on the bike (I suppose it had done about 1500 miles) I noticed that it had become harder and harder to find neutral or move from first to second. I concluded that the cable had stretched a little. I loosened the large nut nearest the lever and then turned the smaller nut so that the cable shortened. This solved the problem.

After a couple hundred miles I found the gearbox harder to find neutral. I took up the slack a little, and it helped but I do not want to put any pressure at all on a throwout bearing or anything.
Just wondering....there must be a more thorough clutch adjustment in the service manual.

S.P. send me yr. email address (I'm at anddean@gmail.com) and I'll email you the page from the workshop manual - but it doesn't say much more than the above ...
