Insert the long end of the 5-mm hex key into either of the two 5-mm hex holes. Turn the short end
of the hex key with your hand clockwise to thread the pressure plate adjuster inward. Turn the
adjuster until it comes to a stop with moderate pressure. The object is not to turn the adjuster as
hard as you possibly can but to get the pressure plate adjuster firmly seated against the center
clutch nut. This is the
starting point
.
To set the installed gap, you will need to turn the pressure plate adjuster the specified amount
past the starting point. Rekluse recommends an installed gap setting of 1 full turn + 2 tick marks.
Refer to the section
Installed Gap Options
(page 8) for more information on installed gap
settings.
After the installed gap is set, tighten the screws evenly in 3-4 steps until the tops of the set
screws are flush with or slightly below the top of the adjuster. Do not over-tighten the set screws
or you may damage the threads in the pressure plate adjuster. It is not necessary to put thread
locking compound onto the set screws.
Setting the Installed Gap with a Hot Engine
The
installed gap should be set with the engine cold
. If you need to reset your installed gap
after riding, allow the clutch to cool with the clutch cover off for at least 20 minutes before setting
the installed gap. If you must reset your installed gap with the engine hot, set the installed gap to
1 full turn + 0 tick mark. Be sure to reset the installed gap with the engine cold when you are able
to.
If you are trying to “fine-tune” your installed gap setting, this can be done without waiting for the
engine to cool. You may move the pressure plate adjuster in or out from the installed gap position
it was set to cold. Be sure to keep track of your cold setting and any adjustments made hot so as
not to exceed the recommended installed gap range (see
Installed Gap Options
page 8).
