Rekluse recommends that you begin with the rubber band
method first to check for Free Play Gain and then learn the hand
method. The rubber band will help you learn how to recognize
Free Play Gain until you are comfortable with the hand method.
Learning to check Free Play Gain by hand effectively and
comfortably can make it easy to check Free Play Gain every time
you ride.
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.
