Clutch System; Adjusting The Lever - MOTO GUZZI V85 TT Service Station Manual

Maintenance
AVOID PROLONGED AIR EXPOSURE OF THE BRAKE FLUID. BRAKE FLUID IS HYGROSCOPIC
AND ABSORBS MOISTURE WHEN IN CONTACT WITH AIR. LEAVE THE BRAKE FLUID RESER-
VOIR OPEN ONLY FOR THE TIME NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE TOPPING-UP PROCEDURE.
TO AVOID SPILLING FLUID WHILE TOPPING-UP, KEEP THE TANK PARALLEL TO THE RESER-
VOIR EDGE (IN HORIZONTAL POSITION).
DO NOT ADD ADDITIVES OR OTHER SUBSTANCES TO THE FLUID.
WHEN USING A FUNNEL OR ANY OTHER ELEMENT, MAKE SURE IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAN.
WHEN TOPPING UP, DO NOT EXCEED THE "MAX" LEVEL.
TOPPING UP TO THE "MAX" LEVEL MUST BE CARRIED OUT ONLY WITH NEW PADS. DO NOT
TOP UP TO THE "MAX" LEVEL WITH WORN PADS BECAUSE THIS WILL CAUSE FLUID TO LEAK
OUT IN THE EVENT OF BRAKE PAD REPLACEMENT.
CHECK BRAKING EFFICIENCY. IN THE EVENT OF EXCESSIVE BRAKE LEVER TRAVEL OR A
LOSS OF EFFICIENCY WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM, THE BRAKING SYSTEM MAY NEED TO
BE BLED.

Clutch system

Adjusting the lever

It is possible to adjust the distance between the
end of the lever (1) and the grip (2), turning the
adjuster (3).
•
Push the control lever (1) forwards and
turn the adjuster (3) until the lever (1)
is at the desired distance.
•
Turning the adjuster anticlockwise, the
lever (1) gets closer to the grip (2).
Adjust the clutch when the engine stops or the vehicle tends to move forward even when clutch lever
is operated and the gear engaged, or if the clutch "slides", resulting in acceleration delay considering
the engine revs.
•
In order to maintain a correct tension and an optimal clutch operation, it is necessary to
check and if necessary provide tension to the cable:
•
Urban use every 1,000 km (621.37 mi)
•
Extra urban use every 5,000 km (3,106.86 mi)
•
In any case, every time you detect that the clutch has disengaged before the standard factory
setting.
