Clutch Lever Adjustment - MOTO GUZZI V7 Manual

Clutch lever adjustment (03_08, 03_09)

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 621.37 mi (1000 km)
•
Extra urban use every 3106.86 mi (5000 km)
•
In any case, every time you detect that the clutch has disengaged before the
standard factory setting.
To adjust, do the following:
•
Pull back the protective boot (1)
•
Loosen the ring nut (2)
•
Turn the set screw (3) with straight handlebar until the empty travel corre-
sponding to the fixed abutment on the handlebar is 0.08 in (2 mm)
•
Push the clutch control lever on the gearbox housing towards the rear wheel
•
Pull the clutch control lever placed on the gearbox towards the opposite side
(as in point 4) checking that the cable is not tightened.
•
During the previous operation, check that the cable lug turns freely around
its axis, regarding the clutch lever
