Checking Free Play Gain allows you to externally monitor the installed gap, so you can know when to make an adjustment if the installed gap is too large or too small. The correct installed gap is verified by observing and feeling the increased free play movement in the clutch lever.
Two Ways to Check for Free Play Gain The following steps explain 2 ways to check Free Play Gain. One way uses the rubber band Rekluse includes in the clutch kit, and one uses your hand. You can use either method to check Free Play Gain.

d) Pull the band through the loop, and then attach it to the outside end of the clutch lever. e) While still in NEUTRAL, quickly rev the engine between 3,000-5,000 RPM (1/4 to 1/2 throttle), then let it return to idle. Notice the movement in the clutch lever when the engine is revved.
The Hand Method Use the hand method to check Free Play Gain before the start of every ride and adjust as needed for optimum performance and longevity of your new clutch. a) Before you begin, place the bike in NEUTRAL, start the engine and let it warm up for 2-3 minutes to warm up the engine oil.

ADJUST THE INSTALLED GAP After checking for Free Play Gain, you may need to adjust the installed gap. If Free Play Gain is optimal, continue to “Break In The New Clutch”. If Free Play Gain is not optimal, the installed gap needs to be adjusted. The installed gap should be fine-tuned in small increments and then recheck Free Play Gain.
