Ultra Clutch Mod - How do I set the clutch at the adjuster correctly?

Proper clutch adjustment ensures consistent engagement and prevents issues like clutch creep or premature wear.

Here’s how to check and set it correctly:

1. At the lever:
   Make sure there’s a small amount of free play—typically about the thickness of a dime between the lever and perch before resistance is felt. This prevents the clutch from being partially engaged at rest.

2. At the clutch (throw-out adjuster):
   Loosen the lock nut, turn the adjuster screw in until you feel resistance, then back it out ½ to 1 full turn, and re-tighten the lock nut. This sets the proper clearance for full disengagement.

3. Recheck after a few passes:
   Hard launches and heat can cause components to settle or expand slightly, so it’s a good idea to inspect and fine-tune your adjustment after initial runs.
