HOW TO ADJUST CLUTCH

Clutch Adjustment

Check the clutch free play at the end of the clutch lever. The play should be 1-2 cm (2/5-3/4 in).


If it is not within this range, adjust it in accordance with the following procedure.

  1. Loosen the clutch cable adjuster lock nut and turn the adjuster clock wise to make the cable free. Then loosen the lock nut of the clutch adjuster on the right crankcase cover. Turn the adjuster screw counter clockwise until a slight drag is felt and return it by 1/8 to 1/4 turn. Tighten the lock nut securely.
  2. Turn the adjuster in the cable counter clockwise to adjust the lever end play. 
  3. Check for proper adjustment by starting the engine, applying clutch, and operating gear change. If the clutch does not disengage, the engine will stall or the motor cycle will tend to creep.
        If the clutch does not fully engage, the clutch will slip and the            motorcycle will not accelerate in response to the acceleration of         engine.
