Clutch - Triumph DAYTONA 650 Manual

CLUTCH

The motorcycle is equipped with a cable
operated clutch.
If the clutch lever has excessive free- -play,
the clutch may not disengage fully which will
cause difficulty in changing gear and may
cause the engine to stall. Conversely, if the
clutch lever has insufficient free- -play the
clutch may not engage fully, causing the
clutch to slip which will reduce performance
and cause premature clutch wear.
Clutch lever free- -play must be checked in
accordance with scheduled maintenance
requirements.
Inspection
Check that there is 2- -3 mm clutch
•
lever free- -play as shown in the
diagram above.
If there is an incorrect amount of
•
free- -play, adjustments must be
made.
