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 5,000 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
Follow these procedures for a new installation and
any time new friction disks or EXP bases or wedges
are installed.
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 in 1st and 2nd gear without using the
clutch lever: In 1st gear, accelerate moderately
to approximately 5,000 RPMs and come to a
stop—repeat this 5 times. Next, starting in 2nd
gear, accelerate moderately to approximately
5,000 RPMs then come to a stop—repeat this 5
times.
