Clutch lever
The lever (1) disengages the clutch. The span adjuster (2)
serves to alter the distance of the lever from the handlebar.
The lever distance can be adjusted through 10 clicks of the
knob (2). Turn the knob clockwise to move the lever away
from twistgrip, or counter clockwise to move it closer.
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 lever must 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. When starting the engine with a
gear engaged, pull in the clutch lever (in this case the
sidestand must be in the raised position).
