Task #07 – Clutch
Other Checks:
Check the clutch cable for kinks or signs if wear that could cause sticking or failure. Lubricate the clutch cable
with a good penetrating lubricant to prevent premature wear and failure. Apply the lubricant to both ends of the
cable and work it in by operating the clutch lever several times.
Service Interval and Recommended Maintenance Manual
Clutch Adjustment may be required if the motorcycle
stalls when shifting into gear or tends to creep; or if the
clutch slips, causing the engine to race ahead when
accelerating hard or climbing steep hills. Free play at the
lever (1) should be kept between 10-20mm (0.4-0.8in).
For minor adjustments, adjust the free play at the lever
end as follows...
1. Loosen the locknut (2) and turn the adjuster (3).
Direction (A) increases free play while direction (B)
decreases free play.
2. Tighten the locknut (2) when done.
If the adjustment can't be reached at the lever end, then
adjust it further from the clutch end as follows...
1. Loosen the locknut (4) and turn the adjusting nut (5)
as required. Direction (A) increases free play and
direction (B) decreases it. Tighten the locknut (4) when
done.
NOTE: If proper adjustment can't be made using both
methods above, then you may need to replace the
clutch.
