  1. Measure in three locaions the clearance between the clutch end plate and top disc with a D.T.I. gauge. Zero the dial indicator with the clutch end plate lowered and lift it up to the snap ring. The distance that the clutch end plate moves is the clearance between the clutch end plate and top disc.

Clutch End Plate - to - Top Disc Clearance:

1st clutch = 0.65 to 0.85 mm

2nd clutch = 0.65 to 0.85 mm

3rd clutch = 0.40 to 0.60 mm

4th clutch = 0.40 to 0.60 mm

1st hold clutch = 0.80 to 1.00 mm
