Back off all (both?) the cable adjusters to get maximum slack . Loosen locknut on left cover.
UNSCREW slot head screw until you get slight resistance. ('lightly seated') Screw back in about 1/4~ 1/3rd turn. Hold screw, tighten locknut. Adjust lower cable adjuster. Handlebar adjuster is for onthe road adjustments between services.
