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 (1).
Normal clutch lever free play is:
10—20 mm (0.4-0.8 in)
