ADJUSTMENT
Clutch control cable adjustment is required at this interval to
compensate for normal clutch lining wear. If the clutch slips
under load, or drags when released, adjust the clutch control
cable.
1. Raise rear wheel off floor using REAR WHEEL SUP-
PORT STAND (Part No. B-41174).
2. Remove left footpeg support bracket. See 2.21 FOOT-
PEGS AND FOOTPEG SUPPORT BRACKETS.
3. See Figure 1-12. Slide rubber boot (1) upward to expose
adjuster mechanism. Loosen jam nut (3) from adjuster
(4). Turn adjuster to shorten cable housing until there is a
large amount of freeplay at clutch hand lever.
4. See Figure 1-13. Remove three TORX screws with
washers (1) from clutch inspection cover (2). Remove
clutch inspection cover from primary cover.
5. Remove spring (4) and lockplate (5). Turn adjusting
screw (6) counterclockwise until it lightly bottoms.
6. Turn adjusting screw (6) clockwise 1/4 - 1/2 turn. Install
lockplate (5) and spring (4) on adjusting screw flats. If
hex on lockplate does not align with recess in outer
ramp, rotate adjusting screw clockwise until it aligns.
7. Squeeze clutch hand lever to maximum limit three times.
This sets the ball and ramp mechanism. Pull outer cable
conduit and at the same time adjust cable adjuster to
provide 0.0625-0.125 in. (1.6-3.2 mm) freeplay at clutch
hand lever.
