CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
Clutch lever free play is one of the most important
adjustment which you may need to check in-between
services for better life of the clutch plates.
The free play of the clutch lever should be 8 to 13 mm
as measured at the clutch lever end at handle bar.
Adjust the clutch lever free play periodically by means
of clutch cable adjuster at arm clucth release (as
shown if figure). If free play is not within the specified
limit,
1. Ensure that the engine is cold (engine oil at room
temperature).
2. Loosen the lock nut (2) while holding the clutch
cable adjusting nut (1).
3. Adjust the clutch cable adjusting nut (1) ‘in’ or
‘out’ to give sufficient play in the clutch lever.
4. After adjusting the play, hold the adjuster nut in
the same position, tighten the lock nut.
Too much or too less clutch lever free play will damage
the clutch plates, thereby affecting the performance of
the vehicle.
Adjust the clutch lever free play only when the
engine is cold.
