E Clutch lever Lever (1) disengages the clutch. It features a dial adjuster (2) for lever distance from the twistgrip on handlebar. Lever distance from twistgrip is set via knob (2) (10 click positions). Turn clockwise to push lever far from twistgrip, or counterclockwise to take it closer. When you pull lever (1), transmission is disengaged from the engine to the gearbox and therefore from the driving wheel. Using the clutch properly is essential to smooth riding, especially when moving off. Warning Adjustment of clutch and brake lever must be carried out when motorcycle is stopped. Important Using the clutch properly will avoid damage to transmission parts and spare the engine. Notes It is possible to start the engine with side stand down and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the bike with a gear engaged, pull the clutch lever (in this case the side stand must be up). 2 1 fig. 19 26
