•
Grab the front wheel with two hands and try to spin it backwards.
The front wheel should spin backwards but require a large amount

too low.
•
If the clutch needs to be adjusted, pull the gas tank off the bike.
Loosen the set screw on the clutch locknut and turn the locknut in
or out a 1/2 turn at a time until the front wheel moves backward
with the correct amount of force. Make sure the set screw is posi-

and reinstall the tank. (note: picture shows clutch off the bike for
