The motorcycle is equipped with a cable-
operated clutch.
If the clutch lever has excessive free play, the
clutch may not disengage fully. This will cause
difficulty in changing gear and selecting
neutral. This may cause the engine to stall
and make the motorcycle difficult to control.
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.
