Clutch
Clutch adjustment may be required if the motorcycle
stalls when shifting into gear or tends to creep; or if
the clutch slips, causing acceleration to lag behind
engine speed. Correct clutch lever free play is
10 – 20 mm (0.4 – 0.8 in), measured at the clutch
lever tip (1).

Minor adjustments can be made with the upper cable

nut (3) and turn the adjuster (4). Tighten the lock
nut and check the adjustment.
2. If the adjuster is threaded out near its limit and the
correct free play cannot be obtained, loosen the
lock nut and turn in the cable adjuster toward the
lever. Tighten the lock nut and install the dust
cover. Adjust the free play with the lower adjuster.
