Checking the adjustment of the hand decompression release
cable *
To check, set piston at compression, so that the valves are closed. While
doing this, slowly kick the kick starter through its stroke until the clicking
sound (disengaging) of the automatic decompression release can be heard.
Now the deko-lever must be operated 10 mm until resistance is felt (the
exhaust valves begin to open).
To adjust move back the protective cover
1
, loosen the counter nut
2
and
correct the adjustment screw
3
accordingly. Tighten counter nut and push
back protective cover.

Changing the original position of the clutch lever
The adjusting screw

can be used for individual adjustment of the original
position of the clutch lever, thus allowing adjustment to an optimal position
for every hand size.
Turning the adjusting screw clockwise reduces the distance between the
clutch lever and the handlebar. Turning the adjusting screw counterclock-
wise increases the distance between the clutch lever and the handlebar.

A
DJUSTMENT OF THE CLUTCH LEVER POSITION IS ONLY POSSIBLE WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS
.

and cover
6
together with
the rubber boot
7
. The oil level in the horizontal-standing master cylin-
der should be 4 mm below the upper edge.
If necessary, fill up with biodegradable hydraulic oil SAE 10 (e.g.
Shell
