2.211 Adjusting the clutch
There always has to be a „dead gear“ of appx. 2-3mm near the clutch lever bowden cable seat.
If there happens to be too much play, the clutch can not be released entirely. If, on the other hand,
there is too little play, the clutch springs will be too loose, causing in the clutch to slip and in
extreme cases even to burn. The adjustment of the right play is done by turning the adjusting screw
on the right hand side engine housing. Before adjusting, the counter nut has to be losened applying
a 14mm wrench in a counterclockwise rotation. Then the play can be adjusted using a screwdriver.
Clockwise rotation reduces the play, counterclockwise expands.

After adjusting, the counter nut has to be tightened while the screwdriver holds the adjustment
screw in place, to avoid it from turning along with the counter nut. However, since the introduction
of the new adjustment option located at the clutch lever on the handlebar, clutch play can now be
adjusted much easier making it more convenient too. (Also see handbreak adjustment)
