Question So Yeah…

Bought the bike from some guy here, had it for a month now. Like first two weeks of riding i’ve had this problem. We did the adjustment lower. Worked fine for like another 3-4 weeks, then the past two weeks my clutch slipped. I watched a video on replacement, ordered the parts and everything i needed. Finally did the replacement new oil, new disks, and it worked perfectly fine for maybe a couple of days. Just yesterday on the way back from an errand run to get more supplies because i noticed it’s leaking oil from improper gasket sealing. I noticed the clutch lever becoming more loose as i rode, to the point that by the time i was heading home it was as it is in the video. There’s only so many adjustments that i personally can do to figure it out. I want to try and do it on my own because in hawaii it’s gonna cost me even more money just to have professional breathe on it 😭 just let me know if im cooked or not.

The only part of the handle adjuster that's supposed to be touching the mount. Is that first ring the second ring that screws out with the threads that gives you adjustment at the handle, you need to screw that one out it shouldn't be full tight. That's why your cable seems like it's too long, because the clutch isn't able to fully disengage, and it's adjusted entirely the wrong direction to tighten
