Clutch
The motorcycle is equipped with a
cable-operated clutch.
If the clutch lever has excessive free
play, the clutch may not disengage fully.
This will cause difficulty in changing
gear and selecting neutral. This may
cause the engine to stall and make the
motorcycle difficult to control.
Conversely, if the clutch lever has
insufficient free play the clutch may
not engage fully, causing the clutch to
slip, which will reduce performance and
cause premature clutch wear.
