Clutch lever
Lever (1) disengages the clutch. It features a dial adjuster
(2) for lever distance from the twistgrip on handlebar.
Lever distance from twistgrip is set via knob (2) (10 click
positions). Turn clockwise to push lever far from twistgrip,
or counterclockwise to take it closer.
When you pull in the lever (1), you will disengage the
engine from the gearbox and therefore from the driving
wheel. Using the clutch properly is essential to smooth
riding, especially when moving off.
Warning
Set clutch and brake lever when motorcycle is
stopped.
Important
Using the clutch properly will avoid damage to
transmission parts and spare the engine.
Note
It is possible to start the engine with side stand down and
the gearbox in neutral. When starting the bike with a gear
engaged, pull the clutch lever (in this case the side stand must
be up).
