Mechanical Clutch Lever Freeplay

  1. Position the handlebars in the straight-ahead position before measuring clutch lever freeplay.
  2. The clutch cable adjuster nut is located on the bottom of the clutch cover on the engine. Loosen the lock nut.
  3. Turn the cable adjuster inward or outward until clutch lever freeplay is 0.5-1.5 mm as measured at the clutch perch.
  4. While holding the cable, tighten the adjuster lock nut securely.
  5. Verify that the safety switch activates properly. The engine should not start in gear with the clutch lever released. Never test the clutch safety switch by attempting to start the motorcycle in gear unless the rear wheel is raised off the ground.
TIP
The starter interlock switch is dependent on the clutch lever freeplay being set correctly to ensure activation of the clutch safety switch.
