Ducati MONSTER 696 User Manual

Clutch lever
Lever (1) disengages the clutch. It features a dial
adjuster (2) for lever distance from the twistgrip on
handlebar.
To adjust it, keep lever (1) fully extended, and turn
knob (2), turning it in correspondence of one of the
four foreseen positions. Keep in mind that position
no. 1 corresponds to the maximum distance between
the lever and the twistgrip, whereas position no. 4
corresponds to the minimum distance.
When the clutch lever (1) is operated, drive from the
engine to the gearbox and the drive wheel is
disengaged. Using the clutch properly is essential to
smooth riding, especially when moving off.
Warning
Set clutch lever when motorcycle is stopped.
Important
Using the clutch properly will avoid damage to
transmission parts and spare the engine.
