07 K9. I've adjusted the adjustment on the pushrod and clutch cable. Bike still wants to Lunge when shifting into 1st out of neutral. Should I turn the adjustment screw on pushrod (clockwise) or out (counter-clockwise) to help with this? It is currently backed out 1/4 turn like recommended.

Clutch can be a pia to get dialed in sometimes. They dont always like 1/4 turn. Some a little more some a little less. Keep trying n u'll find the sweet spot.

Sometimes when you think you 'feel' the rod touch, ur still a bit off. Somebody will have a better answer. Id run it in a bit an keep looking for the sweet spot. It changes with clutch wear.

Yeah, I tried that last night
Give either of these methods a try. Very key in this adjustment is to have a lubricated push rod so its easier to feel when it is lightly seated. Lightly seated is a very subjective feel . Consider what your looking for, you want as much throw as you can get while still making sure the clutch plates are completely engaging when you release the handle.
Does your bike pull forward slightly when in 1st with the clutch pulled in? Does the problem seem less after you have ridden enough to warm up fluids? Fresh primary fluid can help a little as well.
