The real reason for Rekluses?

[Spud786]

I was at a few dealers today killing time, and I decided to compare clutch pull,  The whole Suzuki line not to impressive, the Kawasaki 85 was a really nice clutch pull, the kaw kx250 f a really nice clutch pull.

The kaw kx 450 f (newhydraulic clutch), that thing sucks (maybe 20% better than previous cable( , no wonder Tomac cant win. But the 250's clutch is nice and fine, and half the pull.

Honda crf450 clutch also sucks,   The real winner was a Kawasaki, KZ 900, a dream of a clutch pull is so easy, that's the dirt bike to buy, otherwise I understand why so many are going the rekluse, cause the majority of the clutch pulls out there suck!

ha probably now go pull a ktm with recluse

  and see how easy that is. They sure do take alot of guess work out of real technical terrain thats for sure!

KTM clutches are things only the other manufacturers can dream about.

Mine sucks for sure, but I never pull it!  That's why I have a Rekluse!!!  ?

Id say on big bores 450 up, the ktm 500 has the lightest clutch pull, the others are just hurtful after a couple pulls .    I don't consider the ktms super light , but usable.

I don't know how they got the KZ 900 got such a light clutch pull,  its easier than a kx 85's clutch , the Rm 85 clutch pull was solidly heavier than the Kx 85.   Really I thought both the kx 85 and the kx250f where considered good and light pulls.

The shocker was the kxf 450 hydraulic pull, you'd think it would alteast be on par with the 250's cable clutch , but no, Its harder, maybe not as hard as it was with 450 cable clutch.

The most inexpensive mod for a hard clutch pull.

KZ 900 a fried had one in 75 or 76.  Greatest bike of the time.

The high leverage on my MME lever makes my Husky clutch smooth as hell.

When you get a Recluse you can ?

Just installed new clutch springs from two ride.net. Big time lighter clutch pull for my Beta. Now KTM wishes it had my two ride springs.

My 525 wasn’t bad, should be similar to a 520.

Go find a mid 1980s BMW and try its clutch. Best ever. I haven't tried any newer ones, they might be good, too.

is this a real thing? who sells them?

[BlackBuzzard]

Clutch is way faster(control not speed) than throttle when picking your way through rocky ascents.

You'll never see Jarvis with a weecluse.

LOL, on this deal.

Just buy a 1911 with a 4lb trigger, and forget all this nonsense.  ?
