Clutch Lever Adjustment

  • Proper clutch lever play is 2 3 mm (0.08~0.12 in.). Lever play increases with cable stretch and friction plate wear, requiring periodic adjustment.
  • When the clutch lever play is out of specification, first try adjusting it at the clutch lever as follows.
  • Slide the clutch lever dust cover.
  • Loosen the locknut, turn the adjuster to obtain the proper amount of clutch lever play, then tighten the locknut.
    • A. Clutch Lever
    • B. Locknut
    • C. Adjuster
    • D. 2 3 mm (0.08 0.12 in.)
    • E. Clutch Lever Dust Cover

If the clutch lever free play cannot be adjusted at the clutch lever, make the adjustment further down the cable as follows.

  • Loosen the locknut at the clutch lever.
  • Turn the adjuster in all the way, then tighten the locknut.
  • Slide the dust cover at the lower end of the clutch cable.
  • Loosen the adjusting nuts at the lower end of the clutch cable, and turn the adjusting nuts so that the clutch lever play is 2 3 mm (0.08 0.12 in.).
    • A. Dust Cover
    • B. Clutch Cable
    • C. Adjusting Nuts
  • Tighten the adjusting nuts.
  • Slide the dust cover back into place.
  • Start the engine, check that the clutch does not slip and it releases properly.

WARNING
Too much cable play can prevent clutch dis-engagement and cause an accident resulting in serious injury or death. When adjusting the clutch or replacing the cable, be sure the upper end of the clutch outer cable is fully seated in its fitting, or it could slip into place later, creating enough cable play to prevent clutch disengagement.
