Clutch lever
Lever (1) disengages the clutch. It features a dial
adjuster (2) for lever distance from the twistgrip on
handlebar.
The lever distance can be adjusted through 10 clicks
of the dial (2). Turn clockwise to increase lever
distance from the twistgrip. Turn the adjuster
counter clockwise to decrease lever 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.
Attention
Set clutch lever when motorcycle is stopped.
Important
Using the clutch properly will avoid damage to
transmission parts and spare the engine.
Note
The engine can be started with the side stand
down and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a
gear engaged, pull in the clutch lever (in this case the
side stand must be up).
