RM this is freaky man???? I saw this thing tonight in my travels and came here tonight to post that very link and you beat me to it.
One of the biggest coincidences I have ever experienced hehehehehe.
Yeah torch check it out, seeing as though Revloc know their way around a K5 already they may be able to accommodate you. After briefly checking out this link and others, there is not much out about these, so early days yet on the Dyna Ring. The vid over lay didn?t inspire too much confidence hehehe but I am sure it is a good product. I would be very keen to find out just how it works and if it has the same clamping pressure as other Auto clutches on the market especially for the big K5.
Other than that it is hard to fault with that bump starting option.
Keep up the good work bud
Cheers
Dan
P.S
RM did I mention that this was freaky :evil:?

Thanks for the link, RM.
Since I live close to Revloc, I went over to thier place today to have a look at the dyna ring. I talked to Alan, who I assume is the proprieter of Revloc.
The dyna ring is basicly a thick friction plate with all the balls inside of it. When you spin it, it gets thicker and engages your clutch. Normal adjustment for it is to have your clutch cable adjusted pretty tight, to hold the pressure plate off of the clutch pack to get a certain amount of clearance. When you spin up the dyna ring, it takes up that clearance and engages the clutch.
In order to bump start, you have to loosen your clutch cable so it lets your pressure plate clamp down on the pack.
Pretty simple, really.
I also found out that the regular auto clutch they make works just like the Rekluse pro, with all of the same adjustability. And, since the KX500 was the first bike that Revloc made the auto clutch for, they are available. They also fit under the stock clutch cover!

I got to eye-breed one today. Nice stuff!
Speaking of freaky, small world kind of stuff.... I finally figured out why I thought I knew you. You were going to go on a ride with me and others from TT at 717, but you couldn't make it.

Ha, yep, that'd be me. I forget what came up, but I'm sure it had to do with either the wife, or the in-laws....
