Clutch; Brakes - Suzuki V-Strom DL650 2017 Manual

CLUTCH

At each maintenance interval,
adjust the clutch cable play with
the clutch cable adjuster. The
cable play should be 10 – 15 mm
(0.4 – 0.6 in) as measured at the
clutch lever end before the clutch
begins to disengage. If you find
that the amount of clutch cable
play is incorrect, adjust it in the
following way:
1. Loosen the lock nut 1.
2. Turn the clutch lever adjuster
2 clockwise as far as it will go.
3. Loosen the cable adjuster lock
nut 3, and turn the cable
adjuster 4 to obtain approxi-
mately 10 – 15 mm (0.4 – 0.6
in) of free play at the clutch
lever end as indicated.
4. Minor adjustment can now be
made with the adjuster 2.
5. Tighten the lock nuts, 1 and
3, after finishing adjustment.
NOTE: Any maintenance of the
clutch other than the clutch cable
play should be performed by your
Suzuki dealer.
