Adjusting the clutch free play
The clutch free play must be adjusted periodically.
Adjust the free play as follows.
1. Remove the rubber cap.
2. Loosen the locknut.
3. Slowly turn the adjusting bolt clockwise until
resistance is felt, and then turn it 1/8 counter-
clockwise.
NOTE:

Turning the adjusting bolt in decreases clutch free
play and turning it out increases clutch free play.
4. Tighten the locknut to the specified torque.
NOTE:

When tightening the locknut, hold the adjusting
bolt with a screwdriver so that the adjusting bolt
does not turn together with the locknut.
5. Install the rubber cap securely.
