Maintenance
Clutch (Mechanical)
Mechanical Clutch Lever Freeplay
Inspect clutch lever freeplay at the intervals recommended in the periodic maintenance table.
See page 54.
NOTICE: Incorrectly adjusted freeplay (cable too tight or too loose) will result in premature clutch wear
and/or failure.
1. The clutch cable adjuster nut is located along the lower right frame. While holding the
clutch cable, slide the rubber protective cover away from the lock nut. Loosen the lock
nut.
2. While holding the cable, turn the cable adjuster inward or outward until clutch lever
freeplay is 0.5-1.5 mm.
3. While holding the cable, tighten the adjuster lock nut securely.
4. Verify that the safety switch activates properly. The engine should not start in gear with
the clutch lever released.
Tip: The starter interlock switch is dependent on the clutch lever freeplay being set correctly to ensure
activation of the clutch safety switch.
