1. Remove the protective cover from the clutch by removing
the 4 allen screws.
2. Pull out the stop key and turn to the release position
(Figure 30).
3. Viewing the clutch from the shifter-pulley side: if the clutch
nut is turned to the right, the clearance between the adjusting

increases. Normal adjustment is from 1 to 2 notches.

engage with moderate pressure.
