Clutch Operation Inspection
If the gap is too wide, the clutch may not release fully. If the gap is too narrow, the clutch may not engage fully. In either case, adjust it.
Clutch Lever Free Play
Standard: 2 3 mm (0.08
0.12 in.)
WARNING The engine and exhaust system get extremely hot during normal operation and can cause serious burns. Never touch the engine or exhaust pipe during clutch adjustment. |
At this time, the release lever should have the proper angle shown.
60° [B]
If the angle is wrong, check the clutch and release parts for wear.
WARNING Too much cable play can prevent clutch disengagement and cause an accident resulting in serious injury or death. When adjusting the clutch or replacing the cable, be sure the upper end of the clutch outer cable is fully seated in its fitting, or it could slip into place later, creating enough cable play to prevent clutch disengagement. |
