Changing the original position of the clutch lever
The adjusting screw 1 can be used for individual adjustment of the original
position of the clutch lever, thus allowing adjustment to an optimal position
for every hand size.
Turning the adjusting screw clockwise reduces the distance between the
clutch lever and the handlebar. Turning the adjusting screw counterclock-
wise increases the distance between the clutch lever and the handlebar.
!
CAUTION
!
ADJUSTMENT OF THE CLUTCH LEVER POSITION IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS.
O
NLY TURN THE ADJUSTING SCREW MANUALLY AND NEVER APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE.

cover. For this purpose, remove screws

der should be 4 mm below the upper edge.
If necessary, fill up with biodegradable hydraulic oil SAE 10 (e.g.
