OPERATION INSTRUMENTS »
Clutch lever
The clutch lever [1] is located on the left side of the handlebar. The adjust-
ing screw [A] is used to change the original position of the clutch lever (see
maintenance work on chassis and engine).
The clutch is hydraulically actuated and adjusts itself automatically.
Hand decompression lever
The hand decompression lever [2] is only used in two special cases:
a) When the engine stalled.
It is possible that the starter motor is not able to crank the engine on the
next attempt. This is due to the fact that the automatic decompressor does-
n’t work properly. If this happens, pull the manual decompression lever
and start again. Afterwards normal starting will be possible.
b) When you want to push the motorcycle.
While pushing, pull the hand decompression lever to make it easier to get
the engine going.
Hand brake lever
The hand brake lever [3] is mounted on the handlebars on the right and actu-
ates the front wheel brake. The adjusting screw [B] can be used to change
the basic position of the hand brake lever (see "Maintenance").
Choke lever
If the choke lever [4] is pulled backwards, a bore will be opened in the
carburetor through which the engine may draw in additional fuel. This
produces a „rich“ fuel/air mixture necessary for cold start. If the choke lever
is pushed forward up to the stop, the bore will be closed again. In this
position the choke cable must have a play of approx. 4 mm.
