Hi, Here is how I do it, I use the 10mm box end to hold and back the jam nut off the set screw,
Then turn the set screw left until zero pressure for sure then back right until I feel tension then back left 1/8 or so, and with the screw driver still holding the screw I tighten up the jam nut,
I then do the final adjustment up at the wheel at the clutch lever, Your lever should feel good with an 1/8 to 1/4 inch or so of free play,
The silver rod you mention going into the engine will rotate so don't be worried,
Take your bike once done, and making sure that you have clear space in front of you check it out. Remember, if you are concerned hold the front brake when you have it running and ready to put into gear, release the clutch slowly, be prepared to pull it in and hit the kill switch if required,
I think you will be good to go,
Let me know,
Enjoy the ride, and best regards,
Blair
