Clutch Lever - Ducati ST3 Owner's Manual

Clutch lever (fig. 20)
Lever (1) disengages the clutch. It features a dial adjuster
(2) for lever distance from the twistgrip on handlebar. To
adjust, keep lever (1) completely extended, turn dial
adjuster (2) and set it to one of the four available positions.
Remember that position no. 1 gives maximum distance
between lever and twistgrip, whereas lever and twistgrip
are closest when adjuster is set to position no. 4.
When you pull in the lever (1), you will disengage the
engine from the gearbox and therefore from the driving
wheel. Using the clutch properly is essential to smooth
riding, especially when moving off.
Warning
Set clutch lever when motorcycle is stopped.
Important
Using the clutch properly will avoid damage to
transmission parts and spare the engine.
Note
It is possible to start the engine with side stand down
and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the bike with a
gear engaged, pull the clutch lever (in this case the side
stand must be up).
