With the bike at idle in neutral, quickly blip (rev)
the engine to at least 3500 RPM and let it return
to idle. The clutch lever should move in
about 1/8" (3mm) toward the handlebar as
you rev the engine.
Note: If you are not getting the correct lever
movement, see
Troubleshooting Guide" on the next page.
Hand Method:
Free play gain should also be checked using
your hand, as you will check it by hand before
every ride. With the bike at idle, apply enough
pressure to the lever to take up the initial
freeplay (slack) shown in the photos on the
previous page. While continuing to apply light
pressure, rev the engine to at least 3500 RPM.
The clutch lever should move in 1/8" (3mm)
under your finger pressure as you rev the
engine and the auto-clutch engages.
BREAK – IN
1. Rev cycles: Warm up the bike for 2-3 minutes.
With the bike in neutral and your hand off of the
clutch lever, rev the engine 10 times, being sure
to let it return to idle between each rev cycle.
2. 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 a slight amount of forward creep.
3. Now that the bike is idling in first gear, slowly
apply throttle to begin moving. To break in the
clutch components, perform the following roll-on
starts without using the clutch lever, in 1st and

approximately 3500 RPM and come to a stop—
repeat this 10 times. Next, starting in 2nd gear,
accelerate moderately to approximately 3500
RPM then come to a stop—repeat this 10
times.
Gain 4. Re-check free play gain at your clutch lever and
adjust if necessary at this point. Your clutch
pack will expand slightly as it gets hot during
normal riding, so it is a good idea to check your
freeplay gain after your bike is warmed up
before each ride.
