If there is no gap, the clutch engagement speed will be reduced. The machine may move unexpectedly when the engine is started. The spacer adjustment of the secondary sheave should be serviced by a Yamaha dealer. Serious injury can occur from sudden release of spring tension during sheave disassembly. 805-030 CAUTION: To ensure proper clutch performance, the spacers in the secondary clutch must be repositioned as the Vbelt wears. For this adjustment, consult a Yamaha dealer.
