OPERATION INSTRUMENTS
Clutch lever
The clutch lever
1
is located on the left side of the handlebar. The adju-
sting screw
A
is used to change the original position of the clutch lever (see
maintenance work on chassis and engine).
Hand decompression lever
The hand decompression lever
2
is needed only if a fall on your motorcycle
causes overflowing in the carburetor. To "pump the engine free", pull the
hand decompression lever during the starting procedure.
The outer end of the lever must at all times provide for a backlash of
approx. 10mm (0,4 in). Only thereafter may it cause valve motion (to be
recognized by the stronger resistance which the hand decompression level
encounters).
