Maintenance and Adjustment

Clutch
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
To ad ju s t t h e c l u t c h :
Loosen the lock nut.
Turn the cable adjuster until the correct
amount of clutch lever free play is
achieved.
If correct adjustment cannot be made
using the lever adjuster, use the cable
adjuster at the lower end of the cable.
Loosen the adjuster lock nut.
Turn the other nut to give 2 - 3 mm of
free play at the clutch lever.
Tighten the lock nut to 3.5 Nm.
