Measure the gap between the friction

plate and pressure plate with a thickness

gauge.

If the gap is found incorrect, it should be

properly adjusted by changing the

thickness of the clutch plate.

Thickness:

1.2, 1.4 or 1.6 mm

(0.047, 0.055, 0.063 in)

Clutch adjustment gap (a):

1.40-1.75 mm (0.055-0.069 in)

KICK STARTER

Removal

1. Unhook the kick spring from its post in

the crankcase. Allow it to relax. Then

remove the kick axle assembly by rotating

the shaft counterclockwise and then pull

ing out the entire assembly. Check the

gear teeth for wear and breakage.

Inspection

1. The kick clip friction force is 0.9 — 1.5 kg

(2.0-3.3 lb).

If above pressure is too strong, spring

wear and kick starter slipping will result.

If it is too weak, the same slippage will

occur particularly at low temperatures. Do

not try to bend the clip.

2. Check the clip for damage and wear, and

determine whether or not, it should be

replaced.
