Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original

Yet another gearing question

<< < (7/10) > >>

zz3gmc:
Last week I put a new clutch in my DRZ400. I had read that a KX500 clutch works as that was what the GNCC and WORCS guys were using back in the day in their DRZs. I put a complete KX500 clutch in my DRZ and also found that the pressure plate is exactly the same between the DRZ and the KX500. What Im getting at is it may be possible to use a auto clutch from a DRZ in a KX500.

Any thoughts?

They make them for Harley's and all the big adventure bikes so I would be inclined to say yes.  Is Revloc in Australia only now?  They closed up shop in the US.

Don't remember how much they were asking...?

My KDX EFM clutch has an aluminum spacer in it.  The one from KXGuru is to convert your cover to a two piece unit.  I don't think it would be thick enough.

All I could find for Revloc was the Australian website and a few places in the US that stock them.  Do you know how far out the Rekluse guys are from releasing their clutch?
