SET THE INSTALLED GAP AND VERIFY BY
CHECKING FREE PLAY GAIN
It is very important that you understand how to set the installed gap
in your new clutch, and be able to verify the installed gap by
checking Free Play Gain.
Setup, break-in, and rechecking the installed gap is CRUCIAL.
Failure to properly maintain your installed gap can result in
premature wear or failure of your clutch.
The “installed gap” is the free space in the clutch pack when the
EXP disk is disengaged (collapsed). This gap allows the clutch to
spin freely until the engagement RPM is reached and the EXP disk
expands to close the gap and apply pressure to the pressure plate,
which in turn drives the motorcycle forward.
The installed gap is what allows the auto function of the product to
perform properly. Use the following steps to set the installed gap
and check the Free Play Gain.
Failure to check and verify Free Play Gain can cause failure or
damage to this product
