Adjust the pedal, then break in.

Oh Lord, you need to adjust the pedal for the full length both top and bottom of the freeplay. Search my post. I swear we talk about this at least once a month.

Bleed everything correctly. Then adjust freeplay at the top and bottom to taste, making sure that the clutch is completely disengaged at the bottom and fully engaged at the top.

As the clutch wears in you will have to periodically adjust the pedal again to get the travel and engagement points you want.

Oh, and throw out your clutch damper.
