How to Adjust Brake amp; Clutch Levers on a BMW F650GS


Adjusting the Clutch Lever
1. Ensure the motorcycle ignition is off, and locate the small black adjusting screw situated just below the clutch lever.
2. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to move the lever away from the handlebar, and counter-clockwise to move it closer.
3. Apply the clutch and ensure that the all gears can be selected using the left gear pedal. If the gear changes are difficult or clunky, this suggests that the lever is adjusted too far in either direction.
4. Seek professional assistance and do not attempt to ride the bike if adjusting the clutch lever does not work; the problem could be a failing clutch cable, although this is very unlikely to happen on a modern motorcycle.
Adjusting the Brake Lever
5. Turn the ignition off and ensure that the motorcycle is at a complete standstill.
6. Turn the adjusting screw clockwise to move the lever away from the handlebar, and counter-clockwise to move it closer.
7. Squeeze and release the brake lever several times and ensure the stiffness of the lever remains consistent. Before riding you should also sit on the motorcycle and try to roll it forward while applying the brake lever.
