Adjusting clutch cable
Hello, my bike is a 1993 model, at very specific situations when I have the clutch handle all the way in it still moves and applying the front brake kills the engine and I can't switch to either neutral/2nd gear,I downloaded the workshop manual but I can't find the how-to there. Does anyone have a youtube video about this or a thread? If there is a thread already I apologize for the double post.
PS: I know this is unrelated but maybe important, is it normal for bikes to sway a little while driving?

Welcome to the forum!
I think you should start by bleeding the slave cylinder.
Its located under the front sprocket cover on the left side of the bike.
Remove the saddle,
Remove the left side-cover,
Remove the left lower faring (use a screwdriver to push the black tang on the black cover that is through the faring by pushing it in towards the cover),
Remove the shift peddle (remember the position it was in),
Remove the sprocket cover.
The slave cylinder is located there.
These bikes don't sway. You may have bad swing arm bearings or head bearings. Are your tires in good shape. Worn out tires will make a bike track poorly.

Chain lube never hurts. Also check chain tension. Too much slack and it'll get clunky, especially when pulling away from stops
Stuck link test. Coast downhill at idle in neutral. If you hear the rhythmic clunking. Time for a new drive
