CLUTCH
MODEL YEAR CHANGE
See Figure 5. All 1997 model year motorcycles use the new
style clutch release ramp introduced on late 1996 vehicles.
The clutch adjustment and lever freeplay procedures remain
the same. The change was made to provide additional clear-
ance between the coupler and the primary cover.
