I believe the answer is:

adjusted

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'set' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'bill and ted entertain us on japanese' is the wordplay.
'bill' becomes 'ad' (advertisement stuck on wall).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'entertain' indicates putting letters inside.
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'japanese' becomes 'J' (international code for Japanese vehicles).
'ad'+'ted'='adted'
'us' after 'j' is 'jus'.
'adted' going around 'jus' is 'ADJUSTED'.

Can you help me to learn more?
