No need to take the cover off there's no adjustment there. You need some free play at the lever. sounds like the adjustment nut is out too far.

If you can't get enough adjustment out of the adjustment nut on the lever as CT has mentioned, there is another adjustment farther down on the cable located on the frame near the front horn. Just follow the clutch cable down, you'll see it.

Sounds like it's time to convert to a foot clutch and kiss that freeplay issue goodbye!
