1. Clutch lever

2. 2 - 3 mm

The motorcycle is equipped with a cable-operated clutch.

If the clutch lever has excessive free play, the clutch may not disengage fully. This will cause difficulty in changing gear and selecting neutral. This may cause the engine to stall and make the motorcycle difficult to control.

Conversely, if the clutch lever has insufficient free play the clutch may not engage fully, causing the clutch to slip, which will reduce performance and cause premature clutch wear.

Clutch lever free play must be checked in accordance with scheduled maintenance requirements.

Inspection

Check that there is 2 - 3 mm clutch lever free play at the lever.

If there is an incorrect amount of free play, adjustments must be made.

Adjustment

Loosen the knurled locknut at the lever end of the clutch cable and turn the adjuster sleeve until the correct amount of clutch lever free play is achieved.

Tighten the knurled locknut against the clutch lever assembly.

If correct adjustment cannot be made using the lever adjuster, use the cable adjuster at the lower end of the cable.

Loosen the adjuster locknut.

Turn the outer cable adjuster to give

2 - 3 mm of free play at the clutch lever.

Tighten the locknut.
