Check Clutch Lever and Cable

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 0.04--0.08 inch (1--2 mm). Measure

the gap between the clutch lever and the lever housing.

3. Adjust clutch freeplay if necessary (see page 91).

Lubricate Clutch Lever

1. Remove the operator’s seat.
2. Remove the front and rear fuel tank screws.
3. Raise the rear of the fuel tank high enough to expose the clutch cable. Support the rear of the fuel

tank with a block of wood.

4. Slide the rubber cover off the cable adjuster, and loosen the adjuster jam nut.
5. Turn the cable adjuster all the way in.
6. Disconnect the clutch cable from the clutch lever.
7. Remove clutch lever pivot nut and screw.
8. Remove any old grease and dirt from the clutch lever and lever housing.
9. Lubricate the clutch lever and lever pivot screw with Victory All Purpose Grease or equivalent.
