1. Position the handlebars in the straight-ahead position before
measuring clutch lever freeplay.
2. The clutch cable adjuster nut is located on the bottom of the
clutch cover on the engine. Loosen the lock nut.
3. Turn the cable adjuster inward or outward until clutch lever
freeplay is 0.5-1.5 mm as measured at the clutch perch.
4. While holding the cable, tighten the adjuster lock nut securely.
5. Verify that the safety switch activates properly. The engine
should not start in gear with the clutch lever released. Never
test the clutch safety switch by attempting to start the
motorcycle in gear unless the rear wheel is raised off the
ground.
TIP
The starter interlock switch is dependent on the clutch lever
freeplay being set correctly to ensure activation of the clutch
safety switch.
