CLUTCH ADJUSTMENT
Clutch lever free play is one of the most important
adjustment which you may need to check in-between
services for better life of the clutch plates. The free
play of the clutch lever should be 10 ~ 15 mm as
measured at the clutch lever end before the clutch
begins to disengage.
Adjust the clutch lever free play periodically by means
of clutch cable adjuster at arm clutch release if the free
play is found more.
1. Ensure that the engine is cold.
2. Loosen the lock nut (2) while holding the clutch
cable adjuster (3). Adjust the clutch cable adjuster
nut (1) 'in' or 'out' to give sufficient play in the
clutch lever.
3. After adjusting the play, hold the adjuster nut (1) in
the same position, tighten the lock nut (2).
Too much or too less clutch lever free play will
damage the clutch plates, thereby affecting the
performance of the vehicle. Adjust the clutch lever
free play only when the engine is cold.
