Clutch lever

The lever (1) disengages the clutch. The span adjuster (2)
serves to alter the distance of the lever from the handlebar.
Lever distance is adjusted by 10 clicks of the knob (2).
Turn the knob clockwise to move the lever away from
twistgrip, or anti-clockwise to move it closer.
When the clutch lever (1) is operated, drive from the
engine to the gearbox and the rear wheel is disengaged.
Correct use of the clutch lever is very important in all
riding situations, especially when moving off.

Warning

Any adjustment of clutch lever must be carried out

when motorcycle is stationary.

Important

Using the clutch properly will prolong the life of the

engine and prevent any damage to components in the
transmission.

Notes

The engine can be started with the sidestand down

and the gearbox in neutral. When starting the engine with
a gear engaged, pull in the clutch lever (in this case the
sidestand must be in the raised position).
