Owner´s Manual
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.
Minor adjustments can be made with the clutch cable
adjuster (4) at the clutch lever (1).
Normal clutch lever free play is:
10 – 20 mm (0.4 – 0.8 in)
