AUTOMATIC CLUTCH INSPECTION
This motorcycle is equipped with an automatic clutch and variable
ratio belt drive transmission. The engagement of the clutch is gov-
erned by engine RPMs and centrifugal mechanism located in the
clutch.
To insure proper performance and longevity of the clutch assembly
it is essential that the clutch engages smoothly and gradually. Two
inspection checks must be performed to thoroughly check the opera-
tion of the drivetrain. Follow the procedures listed.
1. INITIAL ENGAGEMENT INSPECTION
Warm up the motorcycle to normal operating temperature.
Remove the right frame side cover.
Connect an electric tachometer to the engine.
Seated on the motorcycle with the motorcycle on level ground,
increase the engine RPMs slowly and note the RPM at which the
motorcycle begins to move forward.
