Pre-Ride Inspections
Throttle
Rotate the throttle control grip. It should rotate smoothly
from the rest position to the completely open position. It
should return to the rest position quickly when released.
Mechanical Clutch
1. Squeeze the clutch lever toward the handlebar and
release it. It should move freely and smoothly, and it
should return to the rest position quickly when released.
If the lever fails to perform as stated, service the clutch
lever before riding.
2. Freeplay (gap) is the amount of lever movement from
the rest position to the point of cable resistance. Clutch
lever freeplay should be 0.5-1.5 mm. Measure the gap
between the clutch lever and the lever housing. See
page 95. Adjust clutch lever freeplay if necessary.
Tip: The starter interlock switch is dependent on the clutch lever
freeplay being set correctly to ensure activation of the clutch
safety switch.
