Clutch lever
(fig. 12)
The lever (1) disengages the clutch. The span adjuster (2)
serves to alter the distance of the lever from the handlebar.
To make the adjustment, keep the lever (1) full forward and
adjust the wheel (2), turning it to one of the four preset
positions, taking account of the fact that:
position n° 1 corresponds to the maximum distance
between the lever and grip, while position n° 4
corresponds to the minimum distance.
When the clutch lever (1) is operated, drive from the
engine to the gearbox and the rear wheel is disengaged.
Correct use of the clutch lever is very important in all
riding situations, especially when moving off.
Warning
Any adjustment of clutch and brake levers must
only be carried out when motorcycle is stationary.
Important
Using the clutch properly will prolong the life of the
engine and prevent any damage to components in the
transmission.
Notes
The engine can be started with the sidestand down
and the gearbox in neutral. If starting with a gear engaged,
pull in the clutch lever (in this case the sidestand must be up).
