7. Measure the gap between the friction
plate and pressure plate with a thickness
gauge.
If the gap is found incorrect, it should be
properly adjusted by changing the
thickness of the clutch plate.
Thickness:
1.2, 1.4 or 1.6 mm
(0.047, 0.055, 0.063 in)
Clutch adjustment gap (a):
1.40-1.75 mm (0.055-0.069 in)
KICK STARTER
Removal
1. Unhook the kick spring from its post in
the crankcase. Allow it to relax. Then
remove the kick axle assembly by rotating
the shaft counterclockwise and then pull­
ing out the entire assembly. Check the
gear teeth for wear and breakage.
Inspection
1. The kick clip friction force is 0.9 — 1.5 kg
(2.0-3.3 lb).
If above pressure is too strong, spring
wear and kick starter slipping will result.
If it is too weak, the same slippage will
occur particularly at low temperatures. Do
not try to bend the clip.
2. Check the clip for damage and wear, and
determine whether or not, it should be
replaced.
