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.

Still very much contemplating the clutch pretend and thanks for all the input. What rev range does the clutch engage and disengage at. And what difference did the stronger springs make to that. I'm wanna those riders who likes to plod when he can. And finally (I know you haven't tried yet but difference would u expect the heavier wedges would make to the aforementioned figures.
(It's gonna be difficult to get the money from the misses for this one). |

that can be adjusted... springs / wedge weight...
Rekluse say there should be a very slight drag at idle but not enough to move the bike foward... But because I use it on the road " intersections etc" i set mine just above that so you can't feel any drag... So the bike is wanting to move at 200 / 300 rpm above idle... Full disengaugement would be about the same... when the clutch speed drops low enough for the clutch springs to over ride the centafugle force of the weights... stonger springs .. the clutch stack works against the spring just as in a normal manual clutch.. when rideing you can see the clutch lever play increase as the Rekluse unit exspands & compresses the clutch springs... how the Auto / manual works in one unit... EG... Say you are able to open the clutch stack 5mm by pulling the lever but the rekluse unit can only exspand 3mm .. so holding the clutch lever in and rev the motor the Rekluse unit exspands 3mm but the stack is open 5mm So still has 2mm of clearance so no drive... Then let the clutch lever out and the clutch engages just as in a normal clutch... same when moveing pull the clutch lever & you exspand the clutch stack more than the Rekluse unit can exspand , So no drive... Pete

Another unit is the "rev lock dyna ring" works like the Rekluse EXP...
But uses 30 ball bearing that travel in tappered slots instead of the 6 wedge shaped weights Rekluse use... the rev lock can be tuned by the amount of balls you use to alter the weight.. & you can also put tunstion balls in which are heavyer than steel balls.. I would like to get my hands on one... they sound very tuneable..
