A limited range of adjustment of the clutch
can be accomplished using the adjuster

◆
Pull back the rubber boot (2).
◆
Loosen the lock nut (3).
◆
Rotate the adjuster (1) until the free play
at the end of the clutch lever is between
0.39 in (10 mm) (see figure).
◆
Tighten the lock nut (3) to lock the ad-
juster in place.
◆
Recheck the free play.
◆
Reposition the rubber boot (2).
◆
Start the engine, see p. 50 (STARTING).
◆
Pull in the clutch lever (4) completely and
put the shift lever (5) in the 1st gear.
Make sure that the engine does not stop,
that the vehicle does not tend to advance
or that the clutch does not slip during the
acceleration phase or while the vehicle is
running.

WARNING
If it is not possible to properly adjust
the clutch this way, see your Local
APRILIA
Dealer.
NOTE
Inspect the clutch cable to make
sure that it is not damaged. The inner ca-
ble must have no broken strands, and the
outer cable must not be kinked or bent.
◆
Periodically lubricate the clutch cable
with a suitable lubricant, see p. 104 (LU-
BRICANT CHART). This will protect it
from excessive wear and corrosion.
