E Clutch lever (fig. 7) Lever (1) disengages the clutch. The clutch lever is provided with a dial adjuster (2) for lever distance adjustment from the twistgrip on handlebar. To set lever distance, push lever fully forward and turn the dial adjuster (2) to one of its four positions. Remember that position no. 1 gives maximum distance between lever and twistgrip, whereas lever and twistgrip are closest when adjuster is set to position no. 4. When you operate lever (1), you will disengage the engine from the gearbox and therefore from the driving wheel. Using the clutch properly is essential to smooth riding, especially when moving off. Warning Set clutch lever when motorcycle is stopped. Important Using the clutch properly will avoid damage to transmission parts and spare the engine. 2 1 fig. 7 14
