ADJUSTING THE CLUTCH (Fig. 15)

If the engine stops or tends to advance
when the clutch lever is pulled or the
gears are engaged, or if the clutch slips
causing a delay in the acceleration in
comparison with the engine speed, adjust
the clutch.

Carry out the adjustment by means of the
adjuster (1).

◆

Remove the protection element (2).

◆

Loosen the lock nut (3).

◆

Rotate the adjuster (1) until the idle
stroke of the clutch lever end is about
10 mm.

◆

Tighten the lock nut (3) and check the
adjustment again.

Fig. 15

◆

Start the engine and engage the 1st
gear, make sure that the engine does-
n’t stop, doesn’t tend to advance or
that the clutch doesn’t slip during the
acceleration phase or while the vehicle
is running. 

If it is not possible to obtain a
correct adjustment or if the clutch
does not function properly, con-

tact your 

DSULOLD

 Official Dealer.

Check the integrity of the clutch
cable: it must not present flat-
tened parts and the sheath must

not be worn out in any point of its
whole length.
