Make sure your horseshoe wpring is going "over the top." That big spring pushes the clutch arm in two directions. When you push on the clutch, it helps engage the clutch. When you release, it pushes in the other direction, helping keep pressure OFF the TOB.

Disconnect the cable at the arm under the tranny. Use a large screwdriver to pry the arm, and spring, toward the front of the car, until the spring snaps the arm back toward the pedals. Then reconnect the cable and go through the adjustment procedure (you know, 1.2mm and then 1.0mm). If you do this properly, that horseshoe spring will ensure your forks are not acting on the TOB while you're cruising down the road.
I think we're dealing with a hydraulic G50 here.
