Clutch Lever
The hydraulic clutch lever is located on the left handlebar. 
Squeeze the clutch lever toward the handlebar to disengage 
the clutch. Disengage the clutch before shifting gears.
The clutch is self-adjusting, but lever position can be 
changed to fit the operator’s hand. Turn the adjusting knob 
counterclockwise to move the lever closer to the handle-
bar. Turn the adjusting knob clockwise to move the lever 
away from the handlebar.
NOTE: The adjustment range is limited. Never apply excessive force to the knob. Always turn the 
knob manually.
Always check the lever for smooth operation before riding. If the lever does not operate 
smoothly, check the fluid level at the master cylinder. See page 55.
If the lever begins to feel unresponsive, bleed the clutch system as outlined on page 152.
