CLUTCH
Clutch adjustment may be required
if
the
motorcycle stalls when shifting into gear
or tends to creep; or
if
the clutch slips,
causing acceleration to lag behind engine
speed.
Normal clutch lever free play is 10-20 mm
(3/8-3/4 in) at the lever.
1. Loosen the lock nut (2) and tum the
clutch cable adjuster (3). Tighten the
lock nut (2), and check adjustment.
2. If the correct free play cannot be
obtained using the cable adjuster (3),
loosen the lock nut (2) and turn the
cable adjuster in all the way. Tighten
the lock nut.
3. At the lower end of the cable, loosen
the lock nut (4), and turn the cable
adjuster (5) to give about 16 mm (5/8
in) free play at the clutch lever, and
tighten the lock nut.

the
clut~h
