TROUBLESHOOTING
Performance issues
If you find yourself adjusting the slave cylinder to fix Free Play Gain
or drag, the clutch disks might be worn. Excessive heat or clutch
slip can cause premature clutch failure as well. Once extreme
temperatures are reached, irreversible damage will occur.
·
Inspect all of your clutch parts for signs of wear or excessive
heat, and replace components as necessary. Clutch wear is
dependent on the riders use.
·
Measuring the clutch pack and/or the EXP disk can help
determine if the components need replacing. See the attached
Setup Sheet for the specific clutch pack measurements.
Clutch noise
Although it is harmless, some bike models
may have “squeal” or
“chatter” coming from the clutch at low RPM
as it engages. Clutch
squeal is caused by the clutch components vibrating as the clutch
engages and can become more audible as the clutch gets hot.
Adjusting the installed gap will NOT affect clutch squeal or chatter.
For bike models that have clutch squeal or chatter here are some
recommendations to reduce or eliminate it:
·
Change the oil: For optimal clutch performance Rekluse
recommends using fresh, clean oil that
meets JASO-MA
oil
rating requirements. Dirty or old oil can make the clutch more
likely to squeal or chatter.
EXP TUNING OPTIONS
Adjusting the engine idle speed to match your engagement setting
is important and greatly affects the overall feel of how the EXP disk
engages. To prevent freewheeling and maximize engine braking,
set the idle so there is a slight amount of drag while the bike is
idling in gear and warmed up. The idle should not be so high as to
