Speedway Bike Explained:

CLUTCH LEVER

The clutch lever is located on the left hand side of the handlebars.

It is fully adjustable at the lever with a long brass adjusting nut which is between the lever and the cable.

At the start of many races, you will see riders pull down the rubber protective cover and while the bike is tipped sideways, they will manually adjust the clutch sensitivity for optimum release.

The clutch levers however, do suffer badly upon any accident due to breakage in track impact. With the bike naturally going down on the left side, the handlebar grip and clutch lever always come out losers!

Many riders will carry a few needy extras in their tool kit!
