Note:
It is very important the motor returns to idle before
revving the engine again or Free Play Gain will not be
correct.
f) When the bike returns to idle, rest your hand across
the clutch lever. Rev the engine again to 5,000-7,000
RPM so you can observe the movement while feeling
for Free Play Gain with your hand.
The Hand Method
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 up the engine oil.
b) With the bike at idle, use one finger to apply pressure at
the end of the clutch lever.
c) While still in
NEUTRAL
, continue to apply light pressure
and quickly rev the engine between 5,000-7,000 RPM
(1/2 to ¾ throttle), then let it return to idle. Notice the
movement in the clutch lever when the engine is
revved. This is your Free Play Gain.
d) When the bike returns to idle, rev the engine between
5,000-7,000 RPM a second time to verify the Free Play
Gain again.
