I love the Rekluse clutch on my RMZ450. It changes a motocross bike into an awesome all around bike and in my case that's exactly what I needed. I ride dunes, single track, slick rock, desert and everywhere in between and with the Rekluse I can do it all so much better.
Great Review, totally on point, with good enough supportive argument but not long enough to make it boring. Thank you I took my decition thanks to this video!
@Rocky Mountain- Any insight into longevity of this clutch system? I understand it’s subjective, but need to understand how much expected life in testing or real life use?
I've got the revloc dyna ring on mine. Only just recently fitted it and i think rekluse bought the rights to it or something and added there touches but my issue now would be where would i get mine resurfaced 😢. Obviously it doesn't need it yet but still.
Honestly, I'm not very familiar with the Hinson BTL and I don't know anyone personally that uses one. However, we have several riders using the Rekluse auto clutches here at Rocky Mountain and they've all been very happy with the performance and benefits~Chase
I have a friend with an amputated left leg and a left hand that he can’t squeeze with. Is there a solution for him such as an electric shifter component? Also, my understanding is you still need to pull the clutch handle one time to put it in first gear, how could he do this? Can an electric reverse gear work with this? How does neutral work?
The small colored springs change the RPM at which the clutch begins engaging. The larger pressure plate springs (some models) will change the clamping force on the clutch pack and affect the stiffness of the lever pull. Hope that helps!
Hi, I would like to get back into cruising again I am 64 I have ridden Harleys most of my adult life and now have extreme arthritis in my left hand and wrist. I can not even pull my sons Electa Glide handle in at all. Which one of these clutches would you recommend to a geezer with no more strength left in his left hand? I can cross over with my right hand and shift into 1st gear to start, but after that........ I have been looking also at the sic shops reduced pull clutch lever. went from a 16# pull down to a 7# pull. Are you familiar with these? If so do you think the combo may get me back in the saddle again? Thanks a bunch. Mike
Hey, best thing to do is call Rekluse and find out what they recommend. I've had the Adventure EXP 3.0 in my KLR 650 for about 7,000 miles and absolutely love it. Bought it from Rocky Mountain ATV MC buy the way;)
Rekluse has clutch kits available for a wide variety of motorcycles. To see if Rekluse carries a kit for your bike you can check out their website and enter your bike at the top of the page to see all the products available for your specific machine. rekluse.com/
If your bike came stock with a cable clutch, but you upgraded to a magura hydraulic clutch, could you still order just the standard Rekluse that was designed to fit a cable mechanism? Eg a DRZ400E fitted with the magura hydraulic conversion.
Here in the Philippines, we have a Honda TMX125-Alpha... 125cc motorcycle with manual transmission... Can a Rekluse be installed? Will it work? What model do i need?
Rekluse doesn't show that they make anything for the TMX125 but you can contact them directly at INTERNATIONALSALES@REKLUSE.COM to see if they have something that would work for you.
Would you recommend the cx for a Ktm sxf 450 that is a little to strong for me to give it a little less bottom end power or does it no changes to the power? Bike is ridden on a mx track. sorry for my bad english. Greetz from germany
I wouldn't buy this clutch to try and mellow out the power of the bottom end. You can do that better with mapping changes. Or maybe you just have too much bike.
@@rmatvmc okay thanks but i think with this one i can fully concentrate on the power and my body Position instead of the Clutch Control. What do you think? 🤔
With the wedges using centrifugal force, the harder you rip, the better the clutch bites, but, at lower rpm's does it tend to slip? Or does the power of the clutch suddenly come on when a certain rpm is hit? Like, nothing nothing...pow?
They feed in over a range of RPM. So it's not "POW" but very smooth engagement even with a full handful of wheel-lifting torque on e.g. a 1290, you don't even notice it, it's as smooth or smoother than a manual engagement.
you can still coast in gear just fine. If you pull in the clutch, it will disengage and you can modulate just like a standard clutch. The biggest benefit is when you're really lugging the bike (maybe in some tight, technical terrain) and you don't want to worry about stalling the bike, this is where it really shines.
Great Video! Very helpful, just what I was looking for especially after the technical trail that I just did that climbed 2150ft in 6 miles and full of rocks and boulders. I was struggling to keep my 17 KTM 250SXF from stalling. My question is, what are 1 or 2 of the cons or drawbacks to a Rekluse clutch?
It will most likely increase heat a little since the clutches will be partially engaged more than usual. May increase oil change frequency due to my previous point? I could be wrong though.
My lord reading so many of these comments it’s like people either don’t know how to work a computer and look some shit up or don’t know how a clutch/motorcycle works or don’t know how either work and in that case how you ended up here is a mystery to me
This would not work for me, I Engine Break and Especially when trail riding down hills, maybe up hills, maybe even trial. Sounds Dumb, lazy and unskilled. Yes I know, lets you work and concentrate on other things etc. No Thanks.
@Bob Is that all you have ? Typical of an idiot and immature. Unoordinated ? Lazy ? You can give your two cents, rather than leave it at an empty, moronic, childish, name calling. Call names then explain.
These are like cheating, I love them, thank you

What kit do you have on your RMZ450??
Great Review, totally on point, with good enough supportive argument but not long enough to make it boring. Thank you I took my decition thanks to this video!
Glad you found it helpful! Thank you for watching.
Installed the cheaper X version and works great!
BRILLIANT! I had no idea what variants there were, thanks.
This well done video just earned my business! 👍🏻
Man this is an awesome system. It will definitely help me out.
My friend has one on his 250 and I rode it and it’s so nice and it helps a lot when going into corners
What kind of a 250 n brand
@Rocky Mountain-
Any insight into longevity of this clutch system? I understand it’s subjective, but need to understand how much expected life in testing or real life use?
Question: does the rekluse auto clutch affect wheelies?
Hallo tuan.apakah bisa berfungsi jika hanya membeli otomatis ya saja untuk Yamaha yz250f tahun 2013
I had a Kawasaki 4 wheeler with a centrifugal clutch. I cruised the rough while the guys with manual clutches suffered
I've got the revloc dyna ring on mine. Only just recently fitted it and i think rekluse bought the rights to it or something and added there touches but my issue now would be where would i get mine resurfaced 😢. Obviously it doesn't need it yet but still.
On the core exp can you use any friction clutch plates?
Very professional review! Great info. Would you recommend this over a Hinson BTL?
Honestly, I'm not very familiar with the Hinson BTL and I don't know anyone personally that uses one. However, we have several riders using the Rekluse auto clutches here at Rocky Mountain and they've all been very happy with the performance and benefits~Chase

So which kit to buy for Suzuki DRZ400S to make it functional like an automatic scooter ?
Please tell me wich one fits my suzuki boulevard c50t 2008 😩😩😩
Will it work on a Suzuki gsxr 1000?
Outstanding review. Well done.
Does the exc disc ever need to be replaced due to wear ?because it has fibers on the outer case of it
BAMF_Ben_Allen yes, the fibers on the disc do wear out and it needs to be replaced at some point. As to when, I that would be a question for rekluse.
Rocky Mountain ATV MC ok thank you for the fast response
What's the difference between the prominently displayed red and purple springs?
The small colored springs change the RPM at which the clutch begins engaging.
The larger pressure plate springs (some models) will change the clamping force on the clutch pack and affect the stiffness of the lever pull.
Hope that helps!
Are the new clutchs out for 2019 dirt bikes yet ??
Great video. Can you down shift motorcycle manually with recluse clutch, without using the clutch lever?
yes you can.
Does it go on a harley shovelhead
Hi there am in London and I have yamaha xvs950 midnight star Can I. And what do l need thanks
Unfortunately, Rekluse doesn't make an auto clutch kit for that motorcycle.

I find the auto-clutch a godsend, I have a damaged/tender thumb.
I would like to have a centrifugal clutch in my DR650SE dual sport
Does anyone know if I wanted to go back to a regular clutch how would I go about that? I bought a ktm 250 2 stroke and I hate the clutch on it so much
Can i use it on dry clutch shovelhead harley
Can this be used in drag racing with a lockout ?
Hi friend. Is there a clutch of 2019 honda rebel 300 thanks
How does it disengage to change gear at high RPM
Hi, Do you have this rekluse auto clutch for R1250GS
Bikes with no kick starter, only electric. Will they bump start with a Rekluse. Thank You
All Rekluse auto clutches can be made to bump start your bike but it won't be as quick as how you would normally bump start a bike.
Please make it for the 660r
So the radius x is basically just the simple base option I take it? Best way to get into it unless you blew out the stock clutch?
Do they make a automatic clutch for a Honda 250 rebel or a Suzuki 650 l s Savage
Not that we're aware of.
@@rmatvmc do they make them for any small street bikes
Any options for the Suzuki Dr650?
Thanks
So are these clutches available for all makes and modles of motorcycles as in crotch rocket and cruisers?
Rekluse has clutch kits available for a wide variety of motorcycles. To see if Rekluse carries a kit for your bike you can check out their website and enter your bike at the top of the page to see all the products available for your specific machine. rekluse.com/

We use these on many bikes with hydraulic clutches, but to be safe, you may want to contact Rekluse just in case.
These are so cool. I wish I could use one in my build but I can’t afford one yet
Hi, do you have the Rekluse kit for my Africa Twin year 2001 RD07? Thanks
Hello guys. Can use that clutch on the msx 125?
Here in the Philippines, we have a Honda TMX125-Alpha...
125cc motorcycle with manual transmission...
Can a Rekluse be installed?
Will it work?
What model do i need?
Rekluse doesn't show that they make anything for the TMX125 but you can contact them directly at INTERNATIONALSALES@REKLUSE.COM to see if they have something that would work for you.
CAN I USE THIS ON A DRY SETUP BELT DRIVEN PRIMARY?
What do you guys think about amsoil and will it be ok with these disc? Thanks
does it fit with honda cb500f 2013?
hi, which one do you recommend for a F700GS... Rekluse website only matches the bike with the ADV Exp 3.0...
What is your website?
www.rockymountainatvmc.com/
On the next vid turn up the volume
Would you recommend the cx for a Ktm sxf 450 that is a little to strong for me to give it a little less bottom end power or does it no changes to the power?

So you can’t coast unless in neutral
You can’t pull in the clutch and be underpowered
There’s always power to the wheel unless I’m neutral ? Rite
you can still coast in gear just fine. If you pull in the clutch, it will disengage and you can modulate just like a standard clutch. The biggest benefit is when you're really lugging the bike (maybe in some tight, technical terrain) and you don't want to worry about stalling the bike, this is where it really shines.

Dustin Mobley none for me, i ride a tx 300 and it's been a god send.
Weight possibly?
It will most likely increase heat a little since the clutches will be partially engaged more than usual. May increase oil change frequency due to my previous point? I could be wrong though.
Looks more like they took the complete X then split it into two other lesser models.

Great video!
Glad you liked it, David! Hopefully it helped you out. Are you getting an auto clutch?
Nice
I don't understand why people got this. I love using a clutch but on trails this would be amazing in my opinion. No stalls.
Sounds like you do understand then lol
I guess a CR500 is too much engine.
Bought a sxf 350 with an rekluse auto, hated it, learn to use the original clutch propely. Took it out day 2 and sold it for 500 euros
All of them are overpriced
you get what you pay for. scram peasant!
This would not work for me, I Engine Break and Especially when trail riding down hills, maybe up hills, maybe even trial. Sounds Dumb, lazy and unskilled. Yes I know, lets you work and concentrate on other things etc. No Thanks.
Check out Jeff Slavens vid on fine tuning for mountain riding .Yes it will probably work for you.
