How do I bed-in/run in my new UniClutch

As the UniClutch has 4 friction surfaces compared to a traditional clutch which has 2, it is critical that a proper bedding-in procedure is undertaken to ensure the product functions as intended.

During the bedding-in period, you may experience some minor clutch shudder which is normal. The friction surfaces need to mate to create full, even contact. The Bed in period allows some friction material to transfer from the friction discs to the intermediate plates and pressure plate surfaces which provides a uniform coefficient of friction for the entire clutch.

During the initial bedding-in phase, the coefficient of friction of the clutch discs will drop and then slowly increase over time to a stable level.

During the bed-in period, if the vehicle RPM increases at a rate that is not proportionate with the normal rotation of the wheels, you must back off the throttle to ensure you do not generate excessive heat. If excessive heat is generated, it will not allow the product to reach its full potential.

To correctly bed-in your new UniClutch, we recommend operating the vehicle in normal driving conditions such as regular city driving. During this period, the clutch must be actuated regularly at low RPM, such as take-off and normal shifting for at least the first 1000 km.

Failure to appropriately bed-in the UniClutch may result in glazing or damage of the friction surfaces resulting in shudder, slippage and noise during operation and not allow the clutch to transmit the torque to its maximum ability.

Failing to properly “Bed, or Wear In” the clutch will immediately void any warranty on the clutch.
