Hi,

This may sound dumb but being new to biking can someone explain what is meant by adjusting the freeplay in the cable to brake/clutch and throttle. I have read in the manual how to do it, but an not sure what exactly i am feeling for? Is it the slack in the feel of the cables before anything happens?

I hope i am explaining myself properly.

Thanks

You've got it spot on Marc

Just a touch of FreePlay with the Clutch cable is preferable...... that way it fully disengages & you don't get that infamous clutch "drag" that wears 'em out prematurely.

In full:

With the bike switched off-

Squeeze the clutch lever in and out. See how stiff it is?

Now let it go completely. See how the lever has a bit of back-and-forth wiggle between where it is fully out and where it starts to get stiff?

That is your freeplay.

Same for the throttle.

Alles Klar?

Yes, Thanks for that, cleared things up.
