[1] at the clutch lifter arm.
Loosen the lock nut [2] and turn the adjusting nut to
adjust the freeplay.
Tighten the lock nut while holding the adjusting nut.
If proper freeplay cannot be obtained, or the clutch slips

INSPECTION
Support the motorcycle using a safety stand or hoist.
Check the sidestand spring [1] for damage or loss of
tension.

movement and lubricate the sidestand pivot if
necessary.
Check the sidestand ignition cut-off system:
– Sit astride the motorcycle and raise the sidestand.
– Start the engine with the transmission in neutral,
then, with the clutch lever fully squeezed, shift the
transmission into gear.
– Move the sidestand full down.
– The engine should stop as the sidestand is lowered.
If there is a problem with the system, check the
sidestand switch (page 22-28).
