CLUTCH
Clutch adjustment may be required if the
motorcycle stalls when shifting into gear
or tends to creep; or if the clutch slips,
causing acceleration to lag behind engine
speed.
Minor adjustments can be made with the
clutch cable adjuster (4) at the lever.
Normal clutch lever free play is: 10-20mm
(3/8-3/4 in)
