DRIVE CLUTCH/DRIVEN
CLUTCH OFFSET
If premature drive belt wear is experi-
enced or if the drive belt turns over, off-
set must be checked. Also, offset must be
checked whenever either the drive clutch
or driven clutch is serviced.
Checking Offset
1. Remove the left-side access panel;
then move the console up and out of
the way.
2. Remove the drive belt.
NOTE: Use a straightedge that is
approximately 470 mm (18.5 in.)
long, 20 mm (0.79 in.) wide, and 4
mm (0.16 in.) thick.
3. Place the straightedge along the
back side of the drive clutch; then
measure the offset (a) between the
driven clutch and the straightedge.
Sheave offset must be within 13.0-
16.0 mm (0.51-0.63 in.). If adjust-
ment is needed, proceed to step 4.
SNO-324
NOTE: The straightedge must
extend beyond the front edge of
the drive clutch.
4. If offset adjustment needs to be
made, remove the driven clutch and
add shims (p/n 8JP-RA449-00: 2
mm, 8JP-RA448-00: 1 mm) to
increase the offset or remove shims
to decrease the offset.
5. Once the correct offset is reached,
install driven clutch and tighten cap
screw to 6.4 kg-m (46 ft-lb).
NOTE: When adjusting the driven
clutch, the clutch free play (clear-
ance) should be adjusted.
6. Using a feeler gauge, measure the
clutch free play (clearance). Free
play (a) should be within 1.0-2.0
mm (0.04-0.08 in.). If adjustment
needs to be made proceed to step 7.
SNO-325
7. Remove the driven clutch cap screw
and washer; then add shims (p/n
8JP-RA447-00: 2 mm, 8JP-RA446-
00: 1 mm, 8JP-RA433-00: 0.5 mm).
8. Install the driven clutch cap screw
and washer. Tighten to 6.4 kg-m (46
ft-lb).
GASOLINE
For optimum performance, use RON 95
octane (minimum) gasoline.
