The one I have in the KDX hybrid bike works really well.  The way they add the centrifugal parts to the outer hub instead of removing plates should make it a lot more durable in a K5.  Plus the K5 model will allow you to use your clutch lever still.  My KDX model did not, because the lever pulls on the hub while the K5 pushes.

mikectanker:
No clutch lever on any bike would seem too risky for whiskey throttle.

I hope the durable part is true. I left the extra space when my 2 piece cover was fabricated. Just got the wife a gently used car with 21000 miles so I should be clear to blow a couple grand on bike parts this summer.

umberto:
Well played sir, well played.

The KDX doesn't have a ton of power, so whiskey throttle isn't a big deal.  :-D
