Revloc Dyna Ring questions
Ive read some reviews on the Revloc Dyna Ring. Looks like a great buy. My question is how reliable are they in the long run?
Are they known to have any failures during a two hour hare scramble or long riding season?
Do they require alot of maintenance?
Im definitely interested in getting one for my '97 KDX 200. I just want to know how reliable they are before spending the money.
Thanks

I have a buddy thats been running a dyna ring in his 570 Husaberg now since Oct. 2010. He is ridng every weekend in the Mojave desert, 100 to 150 mile loops. He is a very aggressive ride and loves difficult hill climbs. He is very happy so far and running the original fibers. I have one of the first dyna rings for the E model KDX and am also very happy so far. I have about 20 hard rides on it so far and no issues. I change my oil every two rides with ford F type, and it's dark. Hope this helps.

The RevLoc works well where we live & makes hills so much easier not having to worry about the clutch.

I rode the Delaware HS on Sunday, and the Dyna Ring never missed a beat. I still want to do some fine tuning of the engagement point, however. I was using the supplied three springs, and it was engaging at a higher rpm than I would have liked. I'll try two for my next ride. I adjusted the clutch cable a little during the event, which improved the engagement, but I would personally like it to bite just off idle. My KDX setup is so low-end biased, that any slip above idle squanders some of the awesome low-rpm tractability.
That said, I never came close to stalling during the entire event, I didn't even touch the clutch lever after the dead-engine start, I had great traction despite the slimey conditions, and it made finishing a somewhat grueling event that much easier.

The Frickin hills are steep & lots of rocks & ****. The trail boss has a down hill left gander on a rock face which leads to a ramp jump into the woods. NETRA courses are a MOTHER FUKA!!!

Just trust me on this, when you install it only use two of the adjustment springs/screws!

When I first got mine, it came with 3. I set it up for 2 without ever riding with 3 springs.SS109 wrote:Just trust me on this, when you install it only use two of the adjustment springs/screws!
I'm going riding tomorrow and I pulled the cover off and put 3 springs back in.
I did that out of curiosity to see if I could run a tighter gap with 3 springs. When I had 2 in, the clutch seemed to start grabbing right off idle. That got me wondering if I was having to run a larger than necessary gap to keep the bike from stalling when stopped.
I guess I'll find out which set-up I'll keep after tomorrow's ride.

I just got back from riding Hatfield McCoy with the Dyna Ring, and I'm pretty happy with it. I won't say perfectly happy, but I'm pretty happy with it.
I'm running with two adjustment springs, and it begins to engage right off idle. However, I feel that the Dyna Ring slips more than I like through the rev range. For example, I'll be motoring along in 4th at lower rpms and the clutch is all locked up. Then, to loft the front over a puddle, I'll grab a handful of throttle, and the clutch will slip until it hits a high enough rpm to lock it back up. It takes a little forethought to be both in the power and have the clutch locked up to loft the wheel in time for the puddle. So there's a little bit of a delay in that situation. It almost feels like a snowmobile transmission at times. The motor snaps up to max power with the clutch slipping, but you're accellerating hard the whole time. It works well, but it's just different than the EFM clutches I've ridden, where you get some slip at low rpm, but once it locks up, it doesn't really slip again until the rpm drops. Lots more slip with the Dyna Ring, but it eventually locks up totally at high rpm. And you are getting great traction and accellerating hard the whole time.
I just wonder how hard all the slippage is on the plates, especially since we have fewer of them in there.
Anyhoo, is the Dyna Ring autoclutch perfection? No, but for the price and simplicity, it's darned good.
