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 ~ 15 mm
as measured at the clutch lever end at handle bar as
shown before the clutch begins to disengage.
If the free play is not within the specified limit, adjust
the clutch lever free play periodically by means of
clutch cable adjuster at arm clutch release.
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 adjuster nut (1) ‘in’ or ‘out’
to give sufficient play in the clutch lever.
4. After adjusting the play, hold the adjuster nut (1)
in the same position and tighten the lock nut (2).
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.
