Applying a light finger pressure will take up this
slack.
"Free Play Gain" is the increase of lever free play
as the auto-clutch engages. This happens when
the RPM increase from idle through around 5000
RPM. Free Play Gain is caused by the expansion of
the EXP disk which lifts the pressure plate away
from the throwout assembly.
Optimal Free Play Gain yields 1/8" (3mm) of clutch
lever movement, measured at the end of the lever.
This measurement at the lever correlates to
achieving the ideal installed gap.
The following steps explain two ways to check Free
Play Gain. One will use the rubber band that has
Rekluse Core EXP - Hydraulic
been included in the clutch kit and one explains
using your hand, which you will perform before
every ride.
Place the bike in neutral, start the engine and let it
warm up for 2-3 minutes.
Rubber Band Method:
It is recommended that you use this method first
to find your Free Play Gain so you can see what
it is. Then, check it by hand as well so that you
can effectively and comfortably check free play
gain every time you ride.
Wrap the included rubber band around the outer
end of the handlebar grip and attach it to the ball
end of the clutch lever.
With the bike at idle in neutral, quickly blip (rev)
the engine to at least 5,000 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.
