There are several crucial steps that must be understood and performed to ensure your Radius X clutch
will function properly. Failure to properly install, break-in and maintain your clutch components will
result in premature wear or failure.
New Friction Disk Break-In Procedure
Failure to follow the break-in procedure and oil filter inspection process could cause motor oil
delivery failure which can result in motor failure, serious injury, or death.
x
DO NOT install a new set of friction disks and ride without following the break in procedure and
oil screen inspection process found in the installation manual.
o
Soak new friction disks in oil
o
Install new friction disk and set the installed gap
o
Check and verify free play gain
o
Perform the break-in procedure found in the installation manual
o
Follow the oil filter inspection process found in the installation manual
Clutch Lever Optimization
x
There are some brands of bikes that ship with stock adjustable reach levers. It is important
when setting up any adjustable reach lever to adjust the lever position first, and then adjust Free
Play Gain second. If you were to do it the other way around, you could alter the FPG setting
while changing the reach of the lever, which could cause poor performance and early clutch
wear.
x
Rekluse offers an adjustable reach lever upgrade for most cable actuated models. This optional
upgrade provides the user with the ability to optimize the clutch lever position for your hand size
and personal preference. This will maximize lever feel for each individual.
x
See the lever optimization section in the manual for more details.
Checking Free Play Gain
Check free play gain at the start of each ride. Details on how to check free play can be found in your
installation manual.
x
Understand how to properly check for free play gain
o
Do not ride if you cannot verify free play gain
o
Clutch may seem to work fine but could be slipping excessively
x
If you cannot detect free play gain, reset the installed gap
