Re: did i adjust the clutch correctly ??

BTW You don't have to adjust both sides of the cable. Adjusting one side is enough. So far I only adjusted at the steering (the big circular lock nut).

Yes the clutch lever should have some play over the distance specified in the manual (10-15 mm, or 0.4 - 0.6 inch - at its tip). Flopping around freely.

If the PO made the clutch cable too tight, also check the throttle cables play that you should have. 2-4mm around the circumference of the throttle handle.
