CLUTCH
Clutch
adjustment may be required if the motorcycle stalls when shifting into gear or
tends to creep; or if the clutch slips, causing acceleration to lag behind
engine speed. Minor adjustments can be made with the clutch cable adjuster (3)
at the lever (1). Normal clutch lever free play is : 10-20 mm (0.4-0.8 in)
1. Loosen the lock nut (2) and turn the adjuster (3).
Tighten the lock nut (2) and check the adjustment.
2. If the adjuster is threaded out near its limit or
if the correct free play cannot be obtained, loosen the lock nut (2) and turn
in the cable adjuster (3) completely. Tighten the lock nut (2).
3. Loosen the lock nut (4) at the lower end of the
cable. Turn the adjusting nut (5) to obtain the specified free play. Tighten
the lock nut (4) and check the adjustment.
4. Start the engine, pull in the clutch lever and
shift into gear. Make sure the engine does not stall and the motorcycle does
not creep. Gradually release the clutch lever and open the throttle. The
motorcycle should begin to move smoothly and accelerate gradually.
NOTE:
If proper adjustment cannot be obtained or the
clutch does not work correctly, see your authorized Honda dealer.
Other Checks:
Check the clutch cable for kinks or signs of wear
that could cause sticking or failure. Lubricate the clutch cable with a commercially
available cable lubricant to prevent premature wear and corrosion.
