Servicing Your Honda

Clutch System

6. Start the engine, pull the clutch lever in, and

shift into gear. Make sure the engine does not
stall and the motorcycle does not creep.
Gradually release the clutch lever and open
the throttle. Your motorcycle should move
smoothly and accelerate gradually.

If you can’t get proper adjustment, or the clutch
does not work properly, the cable may be
kinked or worn, or the clutch discs may be
worn. See your dealer or refer to the official
Honda Service Manual (page 162).

• Check that the clutch lever assembly is

positioned properly and the securing bolts are
tight.

• Check the clutch cable for kinks or signs of

wear. If necessary, have it replaced.

• Lubricate the clutch cable with a

commercially available cable lubricant to
prevent premature wear and corrosion.
