constant strain on it..

Thanks for the reply due to serious crash in 2010 only have my left arm so looking for a full auto clutch does this act as full auto if so what kit do i need to buy and would i need the alternative wedges? thanks again.

With the clutch arm stop you can totaly do away with
the clutch lever...
But the clutch lever dose make putting it in nutral easyer..
the heavy weights are not needed but they do make the
unit lock up sooner at lower revs...

the Rekluse unit is the EXP2 for the WR/YZF 450 being for a WR/YZF the
clutch springs that come with it will not fit the XT so I used
EBC heavy duty springs...
There is now a EXP3 unit....

Have you any pictures of the better clutch stop?

Me again, sorry for all the questions, where in the clutch pack did you put the exp? and do you think it would be possible to leave the clutch push rod out altogether?
Thanks Mark

Petenz 02-11-16 06:26

there is a fiber & steel plate between the Rekluse unit & the pressure
plate.... "out side plate the springs work in..."
you would need to leave the clutch push rod/ drag rod in as you need a way
of holding the clutch stack slightly open so theres no drive till the revs come up
and the rekluse unit exspands tighting the clutch stack/compressing the plates..

the rekluse unit genarates enough force to compress the heavy duty clutch springs
when riding if yer pull the clutch lever it will go right into the grip with no force as
the clutch stack has been exspanded by the rekluse unit..

I understand it now thank you for your time Pete.

something I have thought about..
is doing away with the clutch springs & replaceing
them with alloy sleeves short enough so there is no
compression on the clutch stack.... use shim washers to
fine tune it...

This way you could do away with all the clutch
system completely....

So in essence bolting the clutch pack up solid with a small gap between the pressure plate and friction plate to allow expansion from the EXP what would this gap need to be as a starting point? this is a good idea.
Also would the EXP be better positioned in the middle of the pack in this scenario?
