Okay when I get the cover off the big gear Im gonna see this little flower thing with a set screw in it right?

So I
1 pull the set screw
2 tie down the clutch lever on the handle bars.
3 rotate the flower thing one turn clockwise.
4 put the set screw back in.

Now do I have to put the clutch cover back on the big gear before I test the clutch throw. I don't want things flying all over the shop.
