Clutch Control Cable Adjustment - Ducati MONSTER 821 Workshop Manual

Clutch control cable adjustment

Warning
A wrong adjustment can seriously affect the clutch operation and duration.
A worn clutch tensions the clutch cable. Always check the free play, with cold engine, before using the
vehicle.
Warning
Lever free play adjustment must be carried out with cold engine and with the motorcycle on its side stand
and the handlebar fully turned to the right.
When operating the clutch lever (1), you must clearly feel the passage from a very low resistance to a very
high resistance (operating force).
The free play corresponds to the lever travel where the clutch resistance force is very low.
Before positioning the nipple in its seat, lubricate the cable with the specified grease.
Determine ring nut (2) and adjuster (3) position; ring nut (2) must be at a distance (A) of at least 5 mm
from the lever rotation plate (4) and must not touch edge (5) of stop plate (6).
Operate the lever through its free play and check that distance "B" is between 2 mm and 3 mm.
Use a gauge as reference, and check that distance "A" is higher or equal to 5 mm.
