Doc Revision: 081211 Since any Rekluse auto clutch will make your bike appear to be in neutral when in fact it is in gear, it can move suddenly and unexpectedly if the operator applies the throttle with the bike in gear. Do not apply excessive throttle to the bike until you are certain the transmission is in neutral.

NOTE: To accurately find the starting point you should turn the short end of a standard 5mm hex. Using the long end, or a tool with too much leverage won’t allow for proper feeling of the starting point. On hydraulic models you will feel slight resistance as you thread the adjuster in due to the hydraulic pressure.

Overview Thank you for purchasing the Rekluse Core EXP Clutch. We hope you enjoy the product as much as we enjoyed designing, testing and making the product. It is very important that you understand how to set your installed gap and check for a proper installed gap using the free play gain method.
To set the installed gap, you will need to turn the pressure plate adjuster the specified amount past the starting point. Rekluse recommends an installed gap setting of 1 full turn + 2 tick marks. Refer to the section Installed Gap Options (page 8) for more information on installed gap settings.
Checking the Installed Gap The installed gap can be checked at any time by verifying the free play gain. Checking for free play gain at the start of each ride is quick, easy and ensures the clutch plates will become fully engaged under heavy load preventing premature wear or failure of the clutch plates.
1 full turn. After the new components are broken in, the installed gap must be reset. After break-in, Rekluse recommends the installed gap be set to 1 full turn + 2 tick marks. Page 21...
Clutch Lever Free Play vs. Free Play Gain Clutch lever free play is the amount of free movement in the clutch lever before the clutch begins to disengage. For cable actuated clutches, lever free play is adjusted at the clutch perch. Hydraulic clutches typically have a built-in amount of free play and the clutch lever position is typically set with an adjuster between the lever and the plunger.
Installed Gap Options Although Rekluse recommends an installed gap setting 1 full turn + 2 tick marks, there may be situations where you want to set your installed gap differently. The installed gap setting represents a trade-off between maintenance required for friction disk wear and the amount of clutch lever free play gain felt as the engine is revved.
To minimize maintenance and maximize the durability of your clutch, we recommend Rekluse friction plates when your clutch pack has worn. Rekluse friction plates are OEM quality or better and are designed for minimum wear under hard use: a perfect match for your Core EXP clutch.
For bike models that tend to have clutch squeal, Rekluse provides x-rings to be installed at the base of the center clutch. The x-rings dampen the clutch vibrations to eliminate clutch squeal. However, x-rings will change the clutch lever modulation slightly;...
