CLUTCH SYSTEM

In order to ensure the best performance and durability from the clutch, always be sure you have proper
clutch free-play. Free-play is needed to ensure that the clutch has room for wear. A clutch with no free-play
will begin to slip as the discs wear down. Failure to fix a slipping clutch can cause clutch damage. To check
the free-play, simply pull on the clutch lever. The lever should move very easily within the free-play range
before you feel the clutch begin to engage. If too much or too little free-play exists, adjustments are needed.

A second adjustment may be needed if the clutch is slipping or if the clutch will not engage. Follow the
steps below carefully to perform the adjustment. If the clutch is slipping, you will need to decrease the
amount of clutch engagement. If you squeeze the clutch lever all the way and the clutch still will not engage,
you need to increase the engagement. (Clutch Free-play 7 – 10 mm)
