compensate for friction disc wear.
To test traction clutch (Figure 17):
1. Put unit in first forward speed.
2. Without engine running, push unit forward
while slowly moving the traction drive
clutch lever toward the handle grip.
3. Measure distance between lever and

distance is not 6–1/8 in ± 1/4 in
(15.5 cm ± 6 mm), adjust the traction
clutch.

decrease the distance between clutch
lever and handlebar.
Turn the adjustment barrel down the cable
