    Thanks Chris,

    This is what the instructions say …. it would make sense if you install the 2mm in until it stops, then back it off 1 1/4 turns, but the instructions say wind clockwise.

    Install M4 adjustment screw into
    Rekluse throw-out (do this away from
    the bike to prevent it falling into engine)
    so that it is just above flush.

    Install Rekluse throw-out onto throw-out
    rod. Do not install the OEM needle
    bearing and washer.

    Install OEM pressure plate.

    Install pressure plate springs (see
    setup sheet for proper configuration),
    and OEM bolts.

    Finding the Starting Point
    Using the short end of a 2mm Allen
    wrench, turn the M4 adjustment screw
    clockwise until the set screw stops with
    moderate pressure (see Fig. A). At this
    point the slave cylinder should be
    bottomed out and this is your starting
    point.

    From this point, turn the M4 adjustment
    screw 1-1/4 turns clockwise

    Install the M8 set screw and tighten it
    until the Rekluse throw-out starts to
    spin. Use the throw-out
    adjustment/tightening tool along with a
    10mm box-end wrench (see Fig. C) to
    keep the throw-out from spinning.
    Recommended torque is 70-inch
    pounds (8 N-m).

    On the weekend I had another go it getting the rekluse working.

    As I found it impossible to wind out the little 2mm screw, I thought Id ease off the bolts on the pressure plate springs to see if that made it easier.
    The idea behind that 2mm screw is to put a gap in the engagement of the clutch by extending the push rod, with engine revs centrifical force expands the Rekluse EXP 2.0 component and that fills in the gap because it expands, and the gears engage.
    That seemed to do the trick as it became easier to do the 1 and a quarter turns I needed to do on that 2mm screw.
    I put everything back together and tested it – all good, she now idles stationary in first gear.

    Took it for a few runs and everything was fine.

    Cheers.
