Clutch lever free play
Since this model is equipped with a hy-
draulic clutch, adjusting the clutch lever
free play is not needed. However, it is
necessary to check the clutch fluid level
and check the hydraulic system for
leakage before each ride. If the clutch
lever free play does become excessive,
and shifting becomes rough or clutch
slippage occurs, causing poor acceler-
ation, there may be air in the clutch sys-
tem. If there is air in the hydraulic
system, have a Yamaha dealer bleed
the system before operating the motor-
cycle.
