'85 cb450sc, cant figure out clutch adjustment

[harrisonfaulkner]

I'm kind of at my wits end on this one. Clutch on the bike was slipping, so I bought an EBS friction disk replacement kit. Installed that, realized it didn't come with the outer, thicker disk so I ordered that one and installed it. How do you adjust the clutch springs? I cannot get it to stop slipping for the life of me. My clymer doesnt have any information other than 'tighten in 2-3 stages'

Did you replace the springs?  I'm not aware of an adjustment other than making sure your clutch isn't too tight and keeping your plates from locking up.

Yeah replaced the springs.

I'm not sure how tight I should make the clutch springs. You don't run them all the way down do you?

Well, turns out I'm slightly dumb. My clutch cable was loosened all the way at the engine cover side, and was forcing me to keep the springs way to loose. Tightened cable, tightened springs, and my NH is ridable again.
