I posted this also in Bobnob's Dakar thread, but no answer there yet. Anyone got an answer to this?

I'm busy doing a yearly service on my Dakar. Got to the clutch and had a look in the service manual. The clutch release lever play should be 47mm- 52mm. Measured mine as they indicate in the manual, mine's only at 8mm! Surely I'm doing something wrong? With the clutch fully pulled the bike does not roll forward, so the clutch is not dragging, correct? Can someone please tell me how to go about adjusting the release lever. I would think it's as straight forward as lifting the lever out of it's spline, move the lever forwards ( or is it backwards ) and assemble. Had a look at f650.com as well, no real answers there.

Thanks,
H
