Oddly the cheapest PWKs on ebay are the newest. I snagged a like new one from a 2008 RM250 for $70. Swaged a piece of stainless to get the length back up, plus a bit to fit my particular AF better. Its epoxied on. Had to strip the the powervalve and TPS off but that took all of 10 minutes. Maybe som...

Honest, I didn't mean to turn this into a Rekluse thread. Has anyone else tried the G2 throttle cams? I bought the set last year while recovering from some broken ribs and needing all the help I could get. By now the slowest cam feels really mellow, borderline boring. To anyone wanting a mellow 500 ...

I generally ride at least 4 times a week, more if I can. A priority in building this AF was being easy to live with. Its definitely easy now. It has : G2 throttle cam system - totally worth the money for technical riding Flexxbars - nice for the whooped out tracks I ride Cr250 ignition - a nice impr...

The float was checked and appears to be in spec. I say appears because I'm not certain I was holding the carb at the proper angle, while facing north and pressing my tongue against the roof of my mouth. I really don't think its low on the PWK and it definitely wasn't on the PJ carb. The compression ...

Power loss after running hard
Hi. I hope someone can out help on a problem that has me baffled. After accelerating hard through a couple of gears my 500af looses power. It feels pretty much exactly like fuel starvation but the flow rate appears to be ample. Its been triple checked. Interestingly, the bike did this with a PJ carb...

I'm still having trouble seeing how a fixed consistent operation is better than a skilled hand in ALL situations. My unit is not the Z start pro but it has the perch kit so the clutch lever works as usual, but with a much lighter pull. Its best of both worlds IMHO. BTW, I installed the perch unit o...

That's just it, you lose the fine off idle low speed control that can be critical for certain obstacles. I'd be real curious to know if any trials guys have tried one and know what they thought of it. My AF was built as my personal interpretation of the ultimate Vet MX bike. A pleasant surprise was...

There is one difference between CRF450 and CR500 standard Rekluse kits. The 500 makes more torque down low so some of the steel balls must be replaced with heavier tungsten carbide balls. Rekluse recommended 15 tungsten balls and these cost about $75. So there's the price difference. Last week we we...
