KX-500 Autoclutch! It works!
Kawadougie:
It actually rained today and above 5000 feet it snowed. We hit about
6500 feet at the top and had about 2" of snow. Almost no dust at all. I
had just installed a prototype EFM Autoclutch in my KX-500 and had Eric Gorr port the cylinder and flow the head for bottom end power. Gary at EFM machined a spacer and clutch cover for my bike. The autoclutch worked perfect. It was actually better to start the bike in gear. You cannot stall the motor. I can rip into a corner and lock up the rear wheel and accelerate out of it. With a big bore two stroke, you always fear killing the motor in some tight trail with the motor hot enough to cook bacon and no room to kick it properly. Now, everytime you slow down the clutch is pulled in for you and it just sits there and idles. Pretty cool.
mikesmith:
WOW!Nice! Is the whole cover new,or is it based off the stock one?A top view picture please?
gowen:
Awesome! :shock: I also like the removeable clutch cover. Any more pictures?
Kawadougie:
I sent the stock cover to EFM and they just milled off the clutch portion and machined up a flange and a cover plate. See photo.
doordie:
Very nice work! 8) 8) 8)
The cover looks cool too,factory look. :D
What parts did they use from stockclutch?
Did they use something from the kx250-setup they have for sales?
Can we "force" EFM(Gary) to make more of them? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Can you tell how much it cost or is it a secret?
