Clutch lever (fig. 12.1 - 12.2)
Lever (1) (fig. 12.2) disengages the clutch. It features a
dial adjuster (2) (fig. 12.2) for lever distance from the
twistgrip on handlebar.
To set lever distance from twistgrip, push lever (1) (fig.
12.2) fully forward and turn the dial adjuster (2) (fig. 12.2)
to one of its four positions. Remember that position no. 1
gives maximum distance between lever and twistgrip,
whereas lever and twistgrip are closest when adjuster is
set to position no. 4.
When you pull in the lever (1), you will disengage the
engine from the gearbox and therefore from the driving
wheel. Using the clutch properly is essential to smooth
riding, especially when moving off.
Important
Using the clutch properly will avoid damage to
transmission parts and spare the engine.
Note
It is possible to start the engine with side stand
down and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the bike
with a gear engaged, pull the clutch lever (in this case the
side stand must be up).
