25. Adjust the clutch lever free play at the clutch
perch according to your service manual or
personal preference. You must have at least
a slight amount of clutch lever free play just
like the stock clutch.
Place the bike in neutral, start the engine and
let it warm up for 2-3 minutes.
With the bike at idle, pull on the clutch lever
lightly with a single finger so the lever free
play is taken up but the clutch is not
disengaged. While continuing to apply light
pressure, rev the engine to at least 5000
RPM. The clutch lever should move in
under your finger pressure slightly as you
rev the engine. This is known as free play
gain.
Measured at the end of the clutch lever, the
lever should move inward a minimum of 1/8"
(3-mm) as the engine is revved.
See the User's Guide for more information
about Free Play Gain.
If there is no lever free play gain, you will
need to reset the installed gap as described in
steps 16 through 20.

Clutch Break-In

26. With the engine running, pull in the clutch
lever and click the bike into gear. Slowly
release the clutch lever. The bike should stay
in place, perhaps with some forward creep or
tension on the chain.
Once you have the bike idling with first gear
engaged, slowly apply the throttle to begin
moving. To break-in the clutch components it
is best to perform some roll on starts, without
using the clutch lever, in 2
2nd gear, accelerate moderately to
approximately 5000 RPM and come to a
stop—repeat this 20 times. Next, starting in
rd
3 gear, accelerate moderately to
approximately 5000 RPM then come to a
stop—repeat this step 10 times.
Resetting Installed Gap After Break-
In
27. After break-in, the installed gap must be
reset due to the initial "seat-in" of the
clutch components. Before resetting the
installed gap, allow the clutch to cool for
20 minutes with the cover off.
Adjust 3-4 turns of slack into the clutch
cable at the clutch perch. Remove the clutch
cover and loosen the two locking set screws
in the pressure plate adjuster. Using a 5-mm
hex key, turn the pressure plate adjuster
counter-clockwise until it is loose.
Follow steps 20 through 23 again to reset the
installed gap, but reset to 1 full turn plus 2
tick marks for the post break-in installed gap.
This is the recommended Rekluse installed
gap setting.
Be sure to tighten the two locking set screws
in the pressure plate adjuster to lock it in
place. Adjust the clutch lever free play as
previously instructed.
Check for free play gain as described in step
25. With an installed gap of 1 turn + 2 tick
marks, the free play gain should be
