Cleaning and checking
• Clean and check all parts carefully. Parts must
be replaced if cracked or show signs of other
defects. Always use original spare parts.
• Check the thickness of the clutch shoes by
measuring them with slide callipers across the
whole clutch hub. If the thickness is below
60 mm, the entire clutch must be replaced.
