Check the gear control adjustment by setting the
gear change lever to the "N" position. When the

control is correctly adjusted.
In other cases, the control is adjusted in the
following way:
1
Detach the lock nut (1) on the ball joint.
2
Press the locking spring (2) backwards so that the
spherical socket (3) can be lifted away from the pivot
on the lever (4).
3
Adjust the spherical socket (3) position on the
connecting rod (5) until the right adjustment is
obtained.
4
Lock the setting with the lock nut (1) and press the
locking spring (2) into position.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Check that the locking spring goes
through the hole in the spherical socket.
