EAU00695
Clutch lever free play
adjustment
This motorcycle has a hydraulic clutch.
There are no adjustments to perform
but the clutch system must be inspect-
ed periodically for proper fluid level and
leakage. If the control lever free play
becomes excessive and the motor-
cycle creeps or stalls when shifted into
gear, or if the clutch slips, causing ac-
celeration to lag behind engine speed,
there is probably air in the clutch sys-
tem and it must be bled out. Ask a
Yamaha dealer to do this service.
Tightening torque:
Valve stem nut:
1.6 Nm (0.16 m·kg)
Valve stem locknut:
1.6 Nm (0.16 m·kg)
