The motorcycle is equipped with a
cable-operated clutch.
If the clutch lever has excessive free
play, the clutch may not disengage fully.
This will cause difficulty in changing
gear and selecting neutral. This may
cause the engine to stall and make the
motorcycle difficult to control.
Conversely, if the clutch lever has
insufficient free play the clutch may not
engage fully, causing the clutch to slip,
which will reduce performance and
cause premature clutch wear.
Clutch lever free play must be checked
in accordance with scheduled
maintenance requirements.
Clutch Inspection
Check that there is 2 - 3 mm clutch
lever free play at the lever.
If there is an incorrect amount of free
play, adjustments must be made.
Clutch Adjustment
To adjust the clutch:
• Turn the adjuster sleeve until the
correct amount of clutch lever free
play is achieved.
• Check that there is 2 - 3 mm clutch
lever free play at the lever.
• If there is an incorrect amount of
free play, adjustments must be
made.
