Clutch

This motorcycle has a hydraulic clutch. There are no adjustments to perform but the
clutch system must be inspected periodically for fluid level and leakage. If the control
lever free play becomes excessive and the motorcycle creeps or stalls when shifted into
gear or i f the clutch slips, there is probably air in the clutch system and it must be bled
out. See your Honda dealer for this service.
Fluid Level
Check that the fluid level is above the lower mark (1). If the fluid level is near the lower
level mark, it indicates the fluid is leaking. See your authorised Honda dealer for repair.

1. Remove the drain plug (1) from the tube, and drain deposits.
2. Reinstall the drain plug.
Note: Service more frequently when ridden in rain, at full throttle or after the motorcycle
is washed or overturned. Service if the deposit level can be seen in the transparent section
of the drain tube.
Drive Chain
Inspection and adjustment
Place the motorcycle on its centre stand, with the transmission in neutral and the ignition
off.
1. Turn the rear wheel slowly, and inspect the drive chain and sprockets for damage,
wear, dry or rust. Drive chain and/or sprocket(s) which are damaged or worn must be
replaced. Chain which appears dry or shows signs of rust requires lubrication.
2. Move the chain (1) up and down with your fingers and measure the amount of slack.
The slack should be adjusted to 15 - 25 mm (5/8 - 1.0 in) and never be allowed to
exceed 50 mm (2 in).
(A)
Damaged sprocket teeth
(B)
Worn sprocket teeth
(C)
Normal sprocket teeth
4. To adjust the slack, loosen the rear axle nut (2). Loosen the lock nuts (3) and turn the
adjusting nuts (4) as necessary. Make sure the chain adjusters on both sides are at the
same index mark (5) locations.
5. Check the chain wear label when adjusting the chain. If the red zone (6) on the label
aligns with the arrow (7) after the chain has been adjusted to 15 - 25 mm (0.6 - 1.0
in) slack, the chain is excessively worn and must be replaced.
