CFD Adjustment
This section tells you what to do if you have tested and determined that the CFD
requires adjustment.
Tools required

5mm & 10mm hex key

Pliers to remove the old cotter key

A new cotter key (Cobra MIL spec recommended – Hardware store ones will
become brittle from the hot oil and randomly fail)

19mm socket

Cobra gear stop tool (EAMU0004)
Procedure
1. Drain the oil into a suitable container for recycling (10mm hex key)
2. Remove the clutch side cover (5mm hex key)
3. Remove the cotter pin from the castle nut in the CFD assembly.
NOTE : The CFD castle nut is “left hand thread”.
Turn it counter clockwise (anti-clockwise for you
Europeans) to tighten it.
4. Tighten the castle nut to the next cotter pin
assembly location.
5. With the internal CFD gear stop tool in position
check the slip torque again (it is NOT
necessary to have the cotter pin for the test)
6. If the slip torque is below 108 Nm (80 ft-lb)
then repeat steps 5 and 6 above.
7. Once the slip torque is at the desired value,
install the cotter pin as shown.
8. Remove the CFD gear stop tool
9. Reinstall the clutch cover
10. Fill the clutch case with 300cc Clutch Milk and the bike is ready to race
