Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
Rekluse Radius X auto clutch now available!!!
510rider:
The Radius X design will work without a 2 piece clutch cover. I happen to have a 2-peice cover so it was super easy to install!
The clutch lever will override the Rekluse. However, the lever will feel WAY to tight when adjusted correctly. There is 0 play in the lever!. Strangley, I keep pulling in the clutch out of habit and it is a hard pull. I have to remind myself that I don't have to worry about stalling it. I can focus completely on the trail!. In the woods this makes the 500 a blast to ride!!!
If any of you guys are old enough to have ridden a Husky Auto back in the day, it runs a lot like that. But with brakes, suspension, turning, etc, and the springs don't brake!!! I have left my KTM300 at home the last 2 weeks to ride the 500!!! 2nd and 3rd gear are all I have used.
WRXBRUMBY:
I know you are not meant to ride too taller gear for the situation but...
Do you get much overheating through the clutch?or engine? Specifically in the really tight stuff when you are constantly requiring stop start on off throttle bursts when manoeuvring obstacles?
Does second gear feel great from standing start and mellow out the delivery of the mighty 500?
Does the auto clutch eliminate the need for a flywheel weight to smooth power delivery?
510rider:
No overheating at all. Actually a guys KTM300 was boiling over on our ride. I have no flywheel weight added to mine. It is very smooth. I have found no negatives so far.
Pmcg:
once its installed is there a lot of adjustment? Not sure I can swing the two piece cover and the clutch right now. If I have to take the cover off constantly I will wait till I can do both.
umberto:
The one on my 250 is adjusted at the clutch lever, not the basket. I’m not sure if this one works exactly the same, but I would assume it does. On mine, you put a rubber band on the handlebar, stretch it over the lever, and rev the engine. If the lever moves back 1/4”, it’s adjusted correctly.
