The Rubber Band Method
Use the rubber band method for the initial set up. It can also
be used before each ride until you feel comfortable checking
the Free Play Gain using the hand method.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, verify that the bike is in NEUTRAL
before checking Free Play Gain. Failure to do so may
result in the bike lurching forward, and loss of control
and/or injury may result.
A Rekluse auto-clutch can make your motorcycle appear
to be in neutral when in gear, even when the engine is
running and clutch lever released.
Motorcycles equipped with a Rekluse auto-clutch can
move suddenly and unexpectedly and cause riders to
lose control. To avoid death, serious injury, and/or
property damage, always sit on the motorcycle to start
it.
a) Before you begin, place the bike in
NEUTRAL
, start the
engine and let it warm up for 2-3 minutes to idle down
and warm the engine oil.
b) Stretch the included
rubber band
between your
thumbs, then place
the top end of the
rubber band on the
outer end of the left
handlebar grip.
