  • Loose clutch handle

    I prob. should have looked into this a little more on my own but I am being lazy. The clutch handle on my '01 is pretty loose. It has some play in it (wiggles up and down a little too) and I think it should be tighter. Is there an easy way to tighten it? Daniel

    there will be some play in it. there is an adjustment nut right by the handle. look in the manual for the proper cable play spec.

      Cable pull is too loose and doesn't engage where you want, or just the lever is too sloppy/loose? If it's the lever, there's a screw that clam-shells the two halves of the holder into place around the lever, but you don't want it so tight that it produces any significant drag on the lever itself. A small bit of up-down play is normal (say 1 to 4 mm). More than that may mean the bike has been down.
