CLUTCH
Your Janus is equipped with a cable actuated clutch. Due to friction
plate wear and cable stretch, the clutch operation should be checked
each day prior to riding the motorcycle and in accordance with the
periodic maintenance schedule.
CLUTCH INSPECTION
1. Check that the clutch lever operates properly and that the inner
cable slides smoothly. If there is any irregularity, have the clutch
checked by a qualified motorcycle mechanic.
2. Check the clutch lever play as shown in the image. There should
be 2mm of play between the front of the lever and the clutch perch.
3. If the clutch play is not correct, adjust the lever.
CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
1. Loosen the clutch cable locknut and turn the adjuster until the
clutch lever has the proper play.
2. Make sure that the cable end is properly seated in its adjusting nut.
3. Tighten the clutch lever locknut.
4. After any adjustment is made, start the engine and check that the
clutch does not slip and that it disengages properly.
WARNING: Operation with improperly adjusted, incorrectly
routed, or damaged cables could result in an unsafe riding
condition, loss of control and an accident.
NOTE: If the clutch cannot be adjusted at the throttle grip end of
the cable, additional play can be adjusted at the transmission end
of the cable. Janus recommends that you have this adjustment
performed by a qualified motorcycle mechanic.
WARNING: Too much clutch play can prevent clutch disengagement
and cause an accident resulting in serious injury or death.
