The Hand Method
Use the hand method to check Free Play Gain before the
start of every ride for optimum performance and longevity of
your new clutch.
a) Before you begin, place the vehicle in NEUTRAL, start
the engine and let it warm up for 2-3 minutes to idle
down and warm up the engine oil.
b) With the vehicle at idle, apply enough pressure to the
clutch lever to take up the initial free play (slack) in the
clutch lever.
c) While still in NEUTRAL, continue to apply light pressure
and quickly rev the engine between 2,000-2,500 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. This is your Free Play Gain.
d) When the vehicle returns to idle, rev the engine
between 2,000-2,500 RPM a second time to verify the
Free Play Gain again.
