Sorry Paul,haven?t been here for a while,just toooooo much to do right now! :x
Do you mean the Lexan cover or the Rekluse? :|
Lexan plate I got from a friend who is making all my "mods",doesn?t know where he got it but I ask him soon. :wink:
The Rekluse thing will be tested maybe this weekend at iceroadracing training,IF ice is
thick enough.Something strange is going on with earth this year,newer so warm at wintertime as this year,make you wonder anyway! :?
I will come back soon for you with every set-up for Rekluse and all modification you have to do
to make it work.... :evil:

You guys are warm and it's snowing in the Arizona desert

Hi I have heard a lot of good stuff about rekluse clutch set ups for enduro ridding. They used rekluse clutch packs on all of the project enduro bikes in dirtbike magazine a while ago. Supposedly they are good. Is it worth it to change out my stock set up?
-
I?m soo happy,today I tried my rekluse set-up on ice and it worked awsome with no failure! :-D
I started on third gear and just rollon throttle and no wheelspinning,only grip! :evil:
I did it for 5 times in a row and no overheated driveplates... 8-)
Then I run a full race for 6 laps and it?s just awesome out of turn. :wink:
Can?t wait for a real race now,maybe next weekend if weather are good to us and make some cool winter ice!

Doordie,
Is this a Rekluse product, your own creation or both? If you have your foot on the rear brake and gas it, will the motor die? Would you describe the engagement as immediate or gradual. Did you mention earlier that you spaced the clutch cover 10mm to clear the new part?
-
hangtime,it?s a modified Rekluse produkt with "little" help of Rekluse to solve what
combo I should start with to modifie as easy as possible.
I spaced it 10mm to clear for Rekluse clutch are wider than stock clutchpack.
If I gas it with brake on,it will slipp and not die,but if you do that for a long time it will burn for sure. :lol:
You can tune in your engagement as you want with the perchadjustern! :wink:
-
Which rekluse package did you start with? Any specs you want to give away?
Thanks again.
-
i really like the rekluse clutches on the CR5's
since rekluse doesnt make one for the KX500,
like hangtime i would be very interested in what rekluse you started with ? kx250?
and what other mods it took..
(spacing isnt a big problem)
that lexan cover is also very cool !!
nice work!

I've attached photos of my 2005 KX 250f/500, it is primarily in this thread because of the removeable clutch cover. It was a real pain to fabricate but it came out quite well, due to its location the return spring for the brake pedal had to be removed, The return spring is now on the master cylinder and works as well as the stock spring did. The pipe is a Pro Circuit for a KX 500 modified to fit, it is the same length as stock. I do have a standard swingarm set up that can be changed in 10 minutes. Rides like a cadillac.

Nice don46 8-)
Here we go to let the secret out "how to..."of my Rekluse! :-D
You have to shorten your stock clutchpull and match it thoghter with a spaceball and rekluse throwout.
Very carefully measure everything and cut a little bit and put it
in again and see if it fits.
DON`T loose that spaceball inside tranny! :cry:
After many test I come up with 0.7-0.8 mm of installed gap between drivplates.
All slots with Tungstenballs and not any steelballs (30).
This takes time and many apart/thoghter movement,but it will be worth it for sure! :evil:
Perchadjustern is a part you have to get to make it working awesome.
So:
1 Rekluse RMS160 for a Suzuki DRZ400
1 Perchadjuster
30 Tungstenballs
1 Steel spacerball
6 Shims
1 modified clutchcover
Next time a take mine apart I will measure everything exactly. :wink:
My account number is...... :roll:

good show mate! nice info.
-
Thanks for the info Doordie.
I'm going to do the same setup, rekluse is on it way. Had use the rekluse in two other bikes now and love it, i just hope the start model is as good as the pro models that i used in the past.

No problem 8-)
I?m training hard now for Gotland Grand National with Rekluse set-up.

How is got your clutch setup?, I'm running the harder spring with no spacer washer and all steel balls.
What the difference with the steel balls to the Tungsten ones etc.
Clutch has being worn in now, and just needs some tuning
Did some maize paddock racing and the bike was great i love the rekluse.
