MAINTENANCE
CLUTCH
Tips
The clutch must be adjusted if:
– the vehicle tends to move forward with the clutch pressed and
the gear engaged (in this case the clutch does not disengage);
– upon starting or during running, when releasing the clutch
the engine revs excessively and delays in transferring
movement to the rear wheel (the clutch binds and
therefore slips).
Adjustment is made using the adjusting screw (1) located on
the clutch connection to the handlebar.
Adjustment
This model is equipped with a single adjustment device (1)
for the clutch cable length.
Periodically check correct adjustment of the clutch cable, ensuring that the travel without load of the control lever is 3-4 mm.
If the measure is not respected, adjust using the control lever adjuster (1).
Control
Start the engine, see (STARTING). Pull the clutch control lever as far as it will go and engage first gear. Release the clutch and
at the same time throttle with moderation.
Check that:
– upon releasing the clutch the vehicle makes a smooth start without any of the previously listed problems, see “TIPS”.
To prevent the clutch cable from corroding and early wear, it is as well to lubricate it with a suitable lubricant.
Check the whole length of the clutch cable for damage; the sheath must present no slits,cuts, crushing or wear.
If any one of these defects is to be found, have the clutch cable replaced by a FANTIC MOTOR Dealer.
