How is the rekluse with heavier wedges? Any slipping in higher gears?
Any signs of premature plate wear as others have come across?

No slipping in any gears with med weight wedges & light springs..
I can hold the front brake on twist the throttle it wil spin the rear wheel on
cement...
I have the heavy wedges but yet to install them... I got them to make the clutch lock up happen earlyer/ at lower revs.. not to stop clutch slippage...
But reduceing the chance of clutch slip will be a bonus pay off of the heaver
wedges I should think..

wear.. Not had it in long enough to know... If it dose..
I will just be replaceing parts sooner than normal I quess..
Can't have everything...

If you ride tight/gnarly terran , single tracks , do a lot of river crossings "not little streams/ real rivers"
it's the best thing since sliced bread... but for normal rideing gravel roads easy tracks
there is very little advantage from having it...
Another thing it dose is make the clutch lever pull lighter , as you pull it pushs...

Thanks for the advise. I dont have a smaller off road bike so i really think i need a rekluse. By the way did you look into the CORE exp at all. Just wondering if it would fit the tenere?
How is the exp in town, any problems?
Any negative points that you have found so far? I have read alot but they tend to come from people who enter races etc,

I don't commute on my bikes... so very little around town rideing..

Bad points.. well more little niggles than bad points ..

The clutch drag at idle.. I use the clutch at intersections to stop the
clutch drag..

lack of engine brakeing... When comeing into a corner you close the throttle
and you have engine brakeing..but as the clutch slows it releases then you
are free wheeling... took a bit of getting use to.. but is no big drama when yer do...

If you do get a EXP .. put the 6 red spring in it... it comes set with 3 red & 3 blue..remove the blue & replace them with the 3 reds suplyed with it...
the clutch comes with a set of clutch springs for the WR450... they are to short for the XT clutch.. So I used the XT ones
but I have a set of EBC heavy clutch springs are 10% sronger.. not installed yet..
you possabley could use the WR springs if you had spacers machined up..

I also have a 06 WR250f..I'm going to put a Rekluse EXP in it aswell...

Just out of interest, not ever had anything to with auto clutches (apart from the centrifugal crunchy clutch on a Honda Cub), how do you cope with steep first gear descents with the Rekluse fitted? Sounds like it might be a bit disconcerting, not quite being able to judge when the clutch is going to disengage on the overrun as speed drops?

If it a very steep hill I usaly put the bike nutral and just use the brakes..
or hold the clutch in.... carry over from my trials days..
also at the speed you tend to go down steep slow hills the clutch has
already disengauged...
There is a little learning curve with it... but I'm sold on them...

The first ride I had with it was on open gravel roads & tracks , I wasn't to impressed... but the next ride was on tight single tracks & river beds..
I was able to hang with KDX200 , YZF250 , WR250 , GasGas ec200 ,
hang with!!!... "well always had them in site anyway"..not bad for a 400lb pig riden by a old fart past his dirt bike use by date
against some hybread light weight 2 & 4 strokes..
I'm thinking putting the Rekluse Z start pro in the WR250f..Is there top of the line unit..

All my new dirt bikes from now on get chosen from the rekluse clutch fitment list...........If it an't on the list me no want...

To be honest that is when i most need help with my clutch, on steep downhills, it kind of defeats the purpose. Cant you just increase the idle speed to stop it disengaging? Or the throttle or something else?

maybe hold the throttle on a bit...
I find I can control the rear wheel better with my right foot
on the brake than the engine brakeing ever could.. the motor dosn't
have any feel for what the rear wheel is doing...

Hey Pete,

Did you end up trying the heavy wedges?
In the end what did you end up using, how many plates, which wedges, which springs, did you use the heavy duty clutch springs?

Thanks
Robo

Hi..
still have the light wedges in with EBC heavy springs...
I have made a more positive stop to hold the clutch stack
open slightly... the cable was just to inconssistant.. And I also
broke a cable from useing it to hold the clutch stack open...

other than the cable braking it's done 5000k with no issues...
have had the clutch apart... measured the plates in it & the ones
I omited when I installed it... they are all with in .1mm of the same
thickness... so it dosn't seem to be speeding up clutch plate ware..
I have also lowered the gearing to a 48 tooth rear sprocket.. the 48
seems to let you get the revs up quicker/sooner so the clutch locks up
faster...

I also have put a WR250 Rekluse unit in my TTR250.... That's magic
in the foresty & tight single tracks etc... Again I lowered the gearing by 6 teeth.. but the TTR is way over geared for anything apart from road work..

Pete
