Check Clutch
1.
Squeeze the clutch lever toward the handlebar and release it. It
should move freely and smoothly and should return to its rest
position quickly when released.
2.
Clutch freeplay, the amount of clutch lever movement from the rest
position to the point of cable resistance, should be between
0.02-0.04 inch (.5-1.0 mm). Measure the thickness of the gap
between the clutch lever and the lever housing.
3.
Adjust clutch lever freeplay if necessary (see page
106).
Check Fast Idle Lever
1.
Move the fast idle lever. It should move smoothly from its rest position to its completely open position and
back again.
2.
Fast idle lever freeplay, the amount of lever movement from the rest position to the point of cable resistance,
should be 1/8-1/4 inch (3-6 mm).
