Clutch System; Clutch Lever Adjustment - Honda 2009 GOLDWING GL1800 Owner's Manual

Clutch System

Your motorcycle has a hydraulically-actuated clutch. There are no adjustments
to perform, but the clutch system must be inspected periodically for fluid level
and leakage.
If the motorcycle creeps or stalls when shifted into gear, or if the clutch slips,
causing acceleration to lag behind engine speed, there is probably air in the
clutch system. See your Honda dealer to have the air bled out of the system.

Clutch Lever Adjustment

Refer to Saf ety Precautions
The distance between the tip of the clutch lever and the grip may be adjusted.

2. Align the index mark on the clutch lever with the numbers on the adjuster dial.
3. Start the engine, pull the clutch lever in, and shift into gear. Make sure the
engine does not stall and the motorcycle does not creep. Gradually release the
clutch lever and open the throttle. Your motorcycle should move smoothly
and accelerate gradually.
