Mechanical Clutch

  1. Squeeze the clutch lever toward the handlebar and release it. It should move freely and smoothly, and it should return to the rest position quickly when released. If the lever fails to perform as stated, service the clutch lever before riding.

  2. Freeplay (gap) is the amount of lever movement from the rest position to the point of cable resistance. Clutch lever freeplay should be 0.5-1.5 mm. Measure the gap between the clutch lever and the lever housing. See Mechanical Clutch Lever Freeplay. Adjust clutch lever freeplay if necessary.
    TIP
    The starter interlock switch is dependent on the clutch lever freeplay being set correctly to ensure activation of the clutch safety switch.
