PRE-OPERATION CHECK
Check Clutch
1. Squeeze the clutch lever toward the handlebar and release it. It
should move freely and smoothly and should return to its rest
position quickly when released.
2. Clutch lever freeplay, the amount of clutch lever movement from
the rest position to the point of cable resistance, should be between
0.020-0.040 inch (.5-1.0 mm). Measure the thickness of the gap
between the clutch lever and the lever housing.
3. Adjust clutch lever freeplay if necessary (see page 111).
NOTE: The starter interlock switch is dependent on the clutch lever free-
play being set correctly to ensure activation of the clutch safety switch.
Check Fast Idle Lever
1. Move the fast idle lever. It should move smoothly from its rest
position to its completely open position and back again.
2. Fast idle lever freeplay, the amount of lever movement from the rest
position to the point of cable resistance, should be 1/8-1/4 inch (3-6
mm).
3. Adjust fast idle lever freeplay if necessary (see page 107).
