You may have recieved an incorrect cable for your ATV, or you may have a second adjuster.

If you look at the clutch cable on the YFZ450 (item #10 http://www.imagessite.com/OEM_Images/Yamah...4YFZ450S31.gif), you see they placed a adjuster in the middle of the cable that's in additon to the adjuster on your clutch perch.

Other than that, check your installation to make sure both ends of the cable housing are seated as they should be.
