The clutch release mechanism is controlled by means of the lever
on the left grip of the handle bar. With the clutch lever released,
the engine is engaged to the gearbox. When the clutch lever is
squeezed, the engine is disengaged from the gearbox.
Use the clutch lever for starting from rest, for gear shifting
and to downshift, for added braking of the motorcycle. Under
conditions of heavy traffic, when gears frequently have to be
shifted, do not to slip the clutch too much, as this will cause heavy
wear of the disks. When stopped for any length of time (e.g., a
traffic light), it is best to shift into neutral and release the clutch
lever. Holding the clutch in for long periods will cause excessive
heating and wear.
Clutch adjustment. The clutch control lever (located on the
handle bar) should have a 5 - 8 mm/0.2 - 0.3 in play. This play is
measured at the lever end. The normal play of the lever ensures
full engagement and disengagement of the clutch. If the play is
smaller than specified, the clutch slips. With excessive play, the
clutch drags, i.e. the disengagement is incomplete. Use two
adjusting screws (Fig. 13, #7) on the clutch control cable to adjust
the play.
