NO SHIT! Just ask, what 75% of the american populace how they are dealing with the "CHANGE"M.F.D.B. wrote: Hey, not everyone deals with change well...
I have nothing against guys who want to ride with autoclutches. If it works for you, fan-fuckin-tastic. I'm not going to think anything less of you. It's all about having fun, and if it makes it more fun for you, Aces. Doing that also makes it more fun for the guys you ride with. Fun is contagious, no?M.F.D.B. wrote:After riding my 450 with a Rekluse I can definitely say every cr500 should have a Rekluse!! I highly doubt anyone who has ridden with one would disagree...

Pissing match? Where? I simply took exception to the thought that every CR500 should have one.kdizzle wrote:Gotta love the pissing matches..
Absolutely. In a purely digital sense. You either have it in or out, there is little need for fine control on the track.kdizzle wrote:I am 100%sure that riding the MX track makes the rider use that clutch ALOT more than woods riding, thus making the auto clutch more useful on the track, which is most likely while MFDB likes his as do I.
Cool. Mine has Gorr's Mo' Betta. It blows 170 psi as I stated. Bump starts not a problem. YMMV.kdizzle wrote:My motor is a GSS motor that has bumped compression and unless you are going 40 MPH down an asphault hill and can use 3rd you arent going to bump start that fucker. period.
A lot of guys do. I know of several. They're not the guys I have difficulty keeping pace with though.kdizzle wrote:I personally think the rekluse in the woods would be fucking fabulous. guess im just a rekluse fan boi![]()

Someone somewhere will whoop your ass in the trees with the rekluse, just like i get my ass whooped on the MX track by standard clutch users regularly. thats a moot point in my opinion.A lot of guys do. I know of several. They're not the guys I have difficulty keeping pace with though.
Make no mistake, this riding buddy of mine does exactly that, with or without the Rekluse. I have no illusions about being an exceptional rider as Rob says I am. Above average, certainly, exceptional, no.kdizzle wrote:Someone somewhere will whoop your ass in the trees with the rekluse
Were you at hoonfest 07'? You probably already have.kdizzle wrote:No worries man... but if you come in my neck of the woods im roosting you with my rekluse![]()

I agree. If you can “bump start on a muddy hill” or whatever Mojo said he can do, or you can “kick my bike with slippers on” the diagnosis is the same……..TOP END TIME BABY!! My bike is largely stock with an .050 milled off the head. When we bumped started it, (new top end, couldn’t get a full kick to start it) fresh gas in and my TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY POUND buddy sitting on the bike towed behind my diesel, drop the clutch and FLAT SPOT!! New tire time…Now that the motor has a few hundred hours on it the only bump starting you can do is on asphalt.kdizzle wrote: My motor is a GSS motor that has bumped compression and unless you are going 40 MPH down an asphault hill and can use 3rd you arent going to bump start that fucker. period.
It is friggin AWESOME when you have to duck under branches or hop over downed trees, you just cant beat a clutch engagement that is the same EVERYTIME no matter what. I simply would not attempt the same endurocross stuff I do without it. (one of the most popular buyers we have are racers that do enduro cross and or woods type stuff)kdizzle wrote: I personally think the rekluse in the woods would be fucking fabulous.

Come on man, read my comment again and then read what you stated above and tell me they don’t say the same thing!

I work for the single largest offroad enthusiast website in the world, by a huge margin. I am personal friends with dozens of racers and have contact with the best of the best when it comes to suspension and engine builders and fabricators on a weekly sometimes daily basis. We are given (free) the newest products before they hit the market to give our personal shake down and opinion on quality and performance. I have worked on bikes and worked for bike shops most of my adult life. I have built a huge list of motors all the way from .12 cubic inch 30,000rpm nitro fuel R/C motors up to nitrous/turbo/blown Chevys and Mopars. I have completely disassembled and rebuilt numerous cars and motor cycles from sammich baggie size containers (first car I built was when I was 14). Clearly I have an above average amount of experience and simply give my opinion. Isnt that the whole point of forums? Surely there are people on this board far more qualified than my self, but even then, the guys on here that are total NOOBS have an equal right as I do to speak their minds. Why single me out with such a vendetta?MojoScojo wrote: What exactly are your credentials that should make me believe a word you say?
You are miss informed to say the least. I don’t even make comission so what difference does it make? I simply help people out when they have trouble finding things. Whats wrong with that?MojoScojo wrote: Frankly, from what I know about you, and the sales jobs you keep trying to give, I'd sooner trust the advertisements claiming they can make my dick bigger simply by sending them money and taking their placebo.
That’s a BOLD statement coming from someone who rode with me ONE TIME 3-5 (or so) YEARS ago when I was still very much a NOOB. Especially when I went everywhere you guys took me, at your pace, and without wrecking. My guess is my skill level is somewhere around 10 fold better. But you would have to ask my riding buddies to be accurate.MojoScojo wrote: I'd also wager he's a far better rider than you'll ever be. I've seen you ride.
First of all, EPIC FAIL on the bike choice!! Theres plenty of better choices that would be mucho easier to start and handle, to each their own…bearorso wrote: The only reason I have used a Rekluse is that I have leg damage that means I can't use a foot brake.
Congrats on shooting yourself in the foot. Why ruin the whole bonus of an auto clutch?bearorso wrote: I set up my rekluses with all the balls in TC, to make the uptake as abrupt as possible. The clutch doesn't slip. This means I loose much of the anti stall feature that many people want them for
If this is directed at me, please elaborate. I simply stated that they are a great thing and that I doubt anyone with a 500 couldn’t appreciate one…bearorso wrote: To blankly criticize people for using , or not using an auto / anti stall clutch is....................... wrong.
You would NOT want a Core, the clutch feel is the same as stock and I don’t think even Wooky has that kind of finger strength…bearorso wrote: The way that I have my Pro set up, means that I would be better off with the EXP (although the shorty clutch lever might not work then , as the softer action at lower revs on a Pro enable it's ease of use)

Total shock...I need to go sit down....
My AF was built as my personal interpretation of the ultimate Vet MX bike. A pleasant surprise was the Rekluse made the bike better for play too. If the clutch is set up properly it will provide better fine control than a human can. I can do observed trials type moves with this thing.MojoScojo wrote:
