CLUTCH LEVER FREE PLAY
Adjustment
Clutch adjustment may be required if the
vehicle stalls when shifting into gear or tends
to creep or if the clutch slips, causing
acceleration to lag behind engine speed.
Normal clutch lever free play (1) is 10-20
mm at the lever (2).

After tightening the lock nut, check the
clearance again.
•
Installation is in the reverse order of
removal.
Before inserting the feeler gauge, smear a bit
of engine oil on the feeler gauge to avoid
damage to the feeler gauge.
