INSTRUCTIONS

First remove the stock 6mm bolts that run through the clutch springs and
pressure plate and into the clutch boss. Take the lockout and place it on top of
the springs with the holes in the lockout lined up with the holes on the clutch
boss. Put 2 of the new longer allen head bolts through the lockout, one at the
top and one at the bottom (that way you are not fumbling with six bolts only
two) thread these two bolts into the clutch boss evenly. (make sure that while
you are tightening the two bolts that the weighted fingers are held toward the
center to prevent them from being pinched between the lockout body and the
pressure plate, the fingers should move freely at all times) tighten the two
bolts until the studs on the back of the lockout bottom out on the clutch boss.
Now install the remaining 4 bolts in a radial pattern. Yamaha recommends 7.2
lbs of torque on these bolts.
TUNING THE LOCKOUT
A lockout is designed to do two things, (1) eliminate excessive clutch slippage to facilitate the transfer
of as much horsepower to the rear tires as possible and (2) make the bike quicker. Many people install
a lockout only for the purpose of keeping the clutch from slipping, but if you are willing to do some
experimenting with spring pressure and lockout weight, in many instances you can make the bike
quicker. There are many different rider,engine,bike and weight combinations, do what works best for
your specific setup and not what the current lucky guy setup is. His setup may be completely wrong for
your bike .Best case scenario is to Set your clutch up to work as a 2 stage clutch, some slippage out of
the hole then Lockup the clutch as early as possible.

The spring pressure regulates how hard that the bike leaves from the start.
If the spring pressure is to stiff it can cause excessive tire spin. If the springs are to soft it can cause
excessive clutch slippage. By setting up your clutch to have a small amount of slippage off the line you
will keep the rpm’s of the engine up and eliminate some excessive tire spin. Remember you want to
move forward as quick as possible,(not sit and spin).you want to use the stiffest springs that you can
without spinning the tires off the line. If you are running the bike on a track your 60’ times are a great
way to tune your spring pressure. It is best to start with your stock springs and make some passes to
establish a baseline 60’ time. Gradually add stiffer springs until your 60’ times  begin to slow from
excessive tire spin out of the hole. You can alternate your springs some stiff some soft. You can also
add or subtract weight to the fingers themselves to apply more or less lockup. Do some experimenting
and find what works best with your bike and riding conditions.
