Rekuse clutch
Is anybody running a rekuse clutch, seem to be the way to go for me In tight single track. Just started researching a recluse and what would fit on My 05' KDX 200. Can't seem to get much information on one that is a bolt on KDX 200??

Re: Rekuse clutch
I have one on my 220 hybrid. It feels a little like cheating. Makes tight single-track a piece of cake with no stalling.
There are not any made for the kdx. Tedh98 used to make and sell them using a Rekluse from a YZ125. I was lucky to find someone selling a used one of his handiwork. He actually has a website that tells you how to build one.

Too bad he's not still doing this work. Hopefully that's wrong and he will correct us.

Re: Rekuse clutch
I know he's been cleaning out the shop and putting a lot of those KDX parts up for sale. Every now and then you can find a dyna ring for sale.

Rekuse clutch
Look at EFM clutch. They have been around for a long time and I have personally talked to an owner who loves the unit he installed 10 years ago.
I have one sitting on the shelf for my KDX 220 that I purchased from another KDXRider.net contributor. Haven't gotten around to installing it yet. Also have a left hand brake unit. Someday.....

Are you referring to them going bankrupt and closing, or because they are great and nobody wants to let them go, or all of the above HahahaTimtee wrote:There is a good reason for that.DullTull wrote:Hard to find Dyna rings anymore.

Re: Rekuse clutch
I was looking into the EFM, but I still want a manual clutch for popping the front wheel up over logs and what not, and the occasional wheelie Hahaha. Wish I knew someone with an EFM I could try.lucy wrote:Look at EFM clutch. They have been around for a long time and I have personally talked to an owner who loves the unit he installed 10 years ago.

I'm picking up the makings to do the yz125 rekluse conversion, but it looks like it will be a lengthy process.
Thanks

Re: Rekuse clutch
They didn't make them for that long and not that many were sold. If you search old posts you'll find that not everyone was able to get theirs to work properly.DullTull wrote:Are you referring to them going bankrupt and closing, or because they are great and nobody wants to let them go, or all of the above HahahaTimtee wrote:There is a good reason for that.DullTull wrote:Hard to find Dyna rings anymore.

I personally wouldn't buy a used one - you can't get the custom steel drive plates and without the specs, no telling how much life is left on the friction material. It has come up frequently to contact Revloc in Australia and get parts/clutches from them. I tried but got no response and I have yet to see anyone get parts or dyna rings from them.
A few years ago I caught a person selling one of the non-working dyna rings. It was on eBay and I asked a couple of questions. The seller told me he had it on his bike and it worked great. He was only selling because he was getting rid of the bike and was taking off as many aftermarket parts as he could. If he was going to be dishonest, he really should have used different user names on this site and eBay. I found his post where he had nothing but problems with his dyna ring. I confronted him on that and suddenly no response.

Re: Rekuse clutch
For the record, they didn't close up or go bankrupt. They had been suing Rekluse for quite a few years as Rekluse had infringed on their patents. Rekluse was started by former Revloc employees using Revlocs patents. In order to settle the lawsuit Rekluse offered to buy out Revloc completely. Revloc accepted and the rest is history. This is also why you have seen the cost of autoclutches jump big time since Revloc was bought out.DullTull wrote:Are you referring to them going bankrupt and closing, or because they are great and nobody wants to let them go, or all of the above Hahaha
As for my Dyna-Ring, it worked great. You can go back and read every one of my posts to confirm. So, if someone wants a cheap E-series autoclutch, I'm the guy to talk to!
