Bypass the cluth safety switch under the clutch lever. That is if it isn't turning the starter.
If it is turning the starter look somewhere else.

You follow the process in the manual
Check the basscliff website to see if he has the one for your bike.

I fiddled about with mine before using the reference and it is the only way to go.

follow the wires from the clutch, should connect in the headlight bucket, disconnect the wires and connect them together. one is female the other male connect them together, the wires from the clutch perch can be removed.

I agree on the clutch safety switch...its a pain in the azz most times. Follow the leads down into the bucket and unplug them. plug the two from the harness into each other and done. Secondly, did you turn the splined shaft for the linkage all the way clockwise and then install the link? Thats important so theres adequate cable length to do the rest. Set the shaft all the way clockwise, put on the linkage, then install the cable into the threaded carrier on top of the tranny till theres about 3/4 inch left sticking out at the adjuster nut. Set the adjuster on the clutch perch till its about centered on the threads. You then start the adjustment process from the bottom main adjustment. get it close as you can with the bottom adjustment and use the upper adjuster as a "fine tuning" adjustments.
