How to Adjust a Motorcycle Clutch?
1 Answers
Adjusting a motorcycle clutch method: If minor adjustment is needed, loosen the lock nut on the clutch lever, then turn the adjusting screw until the clutch lever's free play is 10 to 20mm. For larger adjustments, loosen the lock nut on the clutch cable, turn the adjusting nut until the clutch lever's free play is 10 to 20mm, then tighten the lock nut. After adjustment, check the adjustment effect. The checking method is: prop up the bike stand, shift into neutral, start the engine, firmly hold the clutch lever, shift the transmission into first gear, slowly release the clutch lever, and when the rear wheel starts to rotate, it indicates the clutch begins to engage. Until the clutch lever returns to its original position, check the free travel from the start of engagement to the return position. If it is 10 to 20mm, the adjustment meets the requirement; otherwise, readjust. The function of a motorcycle clutch is to transmit or cut off the power transfer between the engine crankshaft and the transmission, switching gears and matching transmission speeds at different times.
