shift into gear. Make sure the engine does not
stall and the motorcycle does not creep.
Gradually release the clutch lever and open
the throttle. Your CR should move smoothly
and accelerate gradually.
If you can't get proper adjustment, or the clutch
does not work properly, the cable may be kinked
or worn, or the clutch discs may be worn. See
your Honda dealer or refer to pages 121 - 122 or
the official Honda Service Manual.

• Check that the clutch lever assembly is
positioned properly and the securing bolts are
tight.
• Check the clutch cable for kinks or signs of
wear. If necessary, have it replaced.
• Lubricate the clutch cable with a commercially-
available cable lubricant to prevent premature
wear and corrosion.
