Six Center in Holland has replacement bushings for the shifter pivot. But we all live with a little play there and most bikes shift fine. I'm guessing you have an aftermarket clutch in the bike and that's why your adjustments are either making the bike creep or it's slipping. Live with a bit of creep, I suppose.

Re: Carb Issue
There is a lot of slop in my opinion, i'll try to change that bushing.
The lever at the case, where cable is attached is suppose to have some free play, how much of that play should really be there? Manual does not say so. I can adjust the handle slack at the handlebar to spec and have different amounts of free play at that lever and that is what is confusing me.
Either way, clutch does not seem to slip anymore i would just like to have it done correctly
I made all checks before my ride for tomorrow and chain is in spec.
On checking the oil level, dipstick should not be screwed in, is this correct?

Re: Carb Issue
The set screw adjustment under the little cover IS you lever free play at the clutch cover. One turn out. Then adjust most of the cable slack at the bottom adjuster, then very fine tune at the hand lever.

Re: Carb Issue
You are correct, the dipstick should not be screwed in to check the level.
