4. Налаштування та встановлення
The Ducati Clutch Lever is designed for easy installation, but professional installation is recommended for optimal performance and safety, especially if you are not familiar with motorcycle maintenance.
4.1 Перш ніж почати
- Ensure the motorcycle is on a stable stand (e.g., paddock stand) and the engine is off and cool.
- Gather necessary tools, which typically include appropriate wrenches, screwdrivers, and a torque wrench.
- Refer to your motorcycle's service manual for specific torque specifications for the clutch lever pivot bolt and any clutch system bleeding procedures if applicable.
4.2 Етапи встановлення
- Carefully remove the existing clutch lever from its perch. Note the orientation of all components, including bushings and washers.
- Clean the clutch perch area thoroughly to remove any dirt or old grease.
- Apply a thin layer of appropriate grease to the pivot point of the new Ducati clutch lever.
- Install the new Ducati clutch lever onto the perch, ensuring all components are correctly seated and aligned.
- Secure the pivot bolt, tightening it to the manufacturer's specified torque. Do not overtighten, as this can cause binding or damage.
- Check for smooth operation of the lever. Ensure there is no binding and the lever returns freely to its resting position.
- If the clutch system requires bleeding after lever replacement (common for hydraulic clutches), follow your motorcycle's service manual instructions precisely.
- Adjust the lever's reach if necessary (refer to Section 5: Operation).

5. Операція
This clutch lever features an adjustable and articulated design for personalized comfort and reduced risk of breakage.
5.1 Lever Reach Adjustment
Locate the adjustment mechanism on the lever, typically a small knob or dial near the pivot point. Rotate the knob/dial to move the lever closer to or further from the handlebar. Adjust until the lever reach is comfortable for your hand size and riding style, allowing for full clutch engagement and disengagement without strain. Ensure the lever operates smoothly through its full range of motion after adjustment.
5.2 Articulated Design
The articulated design allows the lever to fold upwards in the event of a fall or impact, significantly reducing the chance of the lever breaking. After an impact, manually return the lever to its original position. Always check for any damage to the lever or clutch system before resuming riding.
6. Технічне обслуговування
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your clutch lever.
- Прибирання: Clean the lever regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish or material.
- Змащення: Periodically apply a small amount of appropriate grease or lubricant to the pivot point and adjustment mechanism to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.
- Огляд: Routinely inspect the lever for any signs of wear, damage (e.g., cracks, bends), or looseness. Check the pivot bolt for proper torque. Replace the lever immediately if any significant damage is observed.
- Fluid Check (if applicable): If your clutch system uses hydraulic fluid, regularly check the fluid level and condition as per your motorcycle's service manual.
