Default 500 Sportsman 04.5 clutch adjustment?

Morning folks, I believe my (new to me) sportsman needs a clutch adjustment -
I'm wondering if the procedure is around here somewhere or someone could point me to it?

It's hard to shift while idling, but pretty easy while turned off. I've tried the idle down to 900 and it makes a little difference but not much.

Thanks in advance,
--Bill

The Ebs washers are worn, takes special tools to remove and dis-assemble clutch all the tools cost me about $200 bucks.

there is no adjustment for the clutches and is most likely as he stated or the ebs bushing it self is worn out. it should be fine idling around 1150 rpms. if it tends to want to creep ahead or shifts hard then that is a good sign or what has been mentioed.
