Other Inspections & Lubrication
• Check that the clutch lever assembly is
positioned properly (the end of the holder (1)
aligned with the paint mark (2) on the
handlebar) and the securing bolts are tight.
Integral Cable

The integral cable adjuster is used if the cable
end adjuster is threaded out near its limit — or
the correct freeplay cannot be obtained.

(4) integral cable adjuster (–) decrease
1. Turn the cable end adjuster in direction ( +)
until it seats lightly and then turn it out 5
turns.
2. Loosen the lock nut (3).
3. Turn the integral cable adjuster (4) to obtain
the specified freeplay.
4. Tighten the lock nut. Check the adjustment.
5. Start the engine, pull the clutch lever in, and
shift into gear. Make sure the engine does not
stall and the motorcycle does not creep.
Gradually release the clutch lever and open
the throttle. Your CRF should move smoothly
and accelerate gradually.
If you can’t get proper adjustment, or the clutch
does not work properly, the cable may be kinked
or worn, or the clutch discs may be worn.
Inspect the clutch discs and plates (page 65).

commercially available cable lubricant to
prevent premature wear and corrosion.
