Rekluse clutch in a XTR...

I have just ordered a WR450 EXP Rekluse auto clutch to put
in the XTR... After a lot of part number checking it turns
out the WR450 & XTR share the same fricton plates...
Part #5TA-16321-00
The Rekluse core EXP insert is a copy of the friction plate
just a lot thicker...

with the core EXP clutch you have a auto clutch as well as
still retaining the manual oparation... rev the motor so the
auto insert exspands & tightens the clutch stack then you
can use the manual clutch pretty much as normal...
Be interesting to see if the gamble works out.. $649nz

Pic is of a XR650R unit... they also make a units for the KTM 690 & 990
so the power out put of the XTR isn't a issue....there is diffrent weight wedges
so there might be a bit of playing around needed...

I have a lot of work ahead of me on it over the winter.... Showa USD forks to
go in.. Still waiting for them to come back after a re-valve/re-spring..
Ohlins rear shock... waiting for new discs to show up... wave rotor on the rear
& a 320mm wave rotor for the front.. still got to order a rally raid front fairing..
It will be a totaly diffrent bike when it rolls out of the shed...

That's some serious pimping. Good luck with it.

Just don't spend half a day trying to ever bump start the bike once it is installed.

I had a darn good laugh hearing some friends explain they had tried bumpstarting a 640 KaTooM for about 45 minutes until they realized there wasn't much point with that clutch

To bump start with a Rekluse.. Let the clutch cable off
so theres free play at the lever/perch...... It has arrived
sitting here reading the instructions.....

The WR450 Rekluse EXP auto insert in the XTR clutch basket..
Can't try it till I get a few clutch cover gaskets... may have to open it up
a few times to play with the tuneing , springs/wedge weight...
Rekluse surpply 3 diffrent sets of springs with it..they make heavyer & lighter wedges...

What was your reasoning in fitting this clutch? I have never seen or used one of these types of clutch's.

Terrain like this.. I ride in some very gnarly places at times.... these scree slides can be
100s metres across with deep water channels..sometime yer can't ride straight across them..
yer got to ride up/down to find a rideable route... why my bikes look so 2nd hand..lol
The option of a full auto or manual clutch in one could be a blessing..
Could say a 660cc Postie bike

I can see why you want one, that kind of work will punish your poor XT.

I have a Rekluse clutch in both my bikes a KTM400exc that has been in since new and over 7 years old now, never needed adjusting or changed any plates.
Only fitted one to my KTM 950adv a few months ago and what a difference it makes .Both bikes have the rear brake mounted on the handlebars instead of the clutch because i still have problems with using my right foot and makes riding a lot easier.

This looks very interesting!

How does this work exactly? Could you tell a bit how it works in different riding types like street and offroad? Do you still need to use the clutch?

Any idea if this would fit on a tenere? If there is less engine braking and less clutch use I could *really* see myself wanting one for offroading
