Reading the other threads on here about the trials and tribulations people have faced installing the Rekluse clutch, it seems that most people are removing the clutch lever, or turning it into a left hand rear brake.

Can you just use the clutch lever as a manual over ride on the autoclutch?

Secondly just an observation from a newbie, but it would make a great FAQ post. It would be good if we could just understand what the definitive setup is for each model bike??
 
welcome kiwi hope you get lots of help here and also that you can give some back especially towards this new supadupa FAQ section that you just volunteered to organise?

hands up everyone? kiwi-you got the job! congratulations mate!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's funny but i thought that the really long thread started by GIX about the rekluse WAS an FAQ and all the info you would need all rolled in to one? no? :( ok then :(

anyway, there's an 'owners doc' at the base of my post here that you can click on and and download that you might find useful.

THanks for the welcome Taffy, and yes I have already found the site extremely useful, especially now that I have downloaded your owners doc.

I guess the point I was trying to make about the Rekluse threads, is that I found them confusing (probably cos I'm stupid).. but it seems to me that there were several different ideal settings,...
If your final settings aren't in your owners doc do you mind sharing what you ended up with, and which model bike it's installed on?

I thought there already was a FAQ section on here?

the FAQ here is a little bit mothbally type thingy in that we don't do a lot to it. it takes volunteers-again!

my settings are as plain as day on the thread that gix started. they tie up with the info sheet that rekluse supply if you lay the sheet down and look at the thread.

my model is at the bottom of each post and my country is under my georgious george brothers pretty face!

you get frustrated? you wanna try living here! half the members couldn't change a wheel. the racers don't post much 'cept to say they changed the 'zorst-big deal!

technically the input is poor but we're 50-60% american membership so we're very good at fitting things. wanna buy summink and bolt it on-we've already done it!

you'll learn very quickly that if it wasn't for lineweaver racing's technical input, my energy to try things we wouldn't come up with too much.

i'm intrigued how you came by a husaberg in NZ? let alone a rekluse clutch?

but you know we're gonna have to talk rugby sooner or later doncha? you know, wilkinsons getting fit, the welsh were superb in the 6-nations, clive's managerial skills. all versus your dittle-little country of 55 people! it's amazing how you do it!

did i digress?

Taffy my boy,last time I was in N.Z. there were better than 3 million people,and almost all of them are outdoors types and quite fit.How you would expect any British team to be remotely competitive against them without bribing the officials is beyond me....nsman
 
okay Taffy, thanks for steering me in the right direction there, though I must admit still, that you do seem to have changed your "best" settings a few times, but think I have something to work on.

Yes it wasn't easy tracking down a Berg in NZ, there is only about 3 dealers in the whole country (thats about 1 for every 20 million sheep), and then none had a new bike sitting on the floor. As for the Rekluse, I have actually run auto clutches in my last two bikes (an EFM in a CRF450R, and a Rekluse in my CRF250X), and I bought the rekluse for the Berg, while I was in the US recently.

Now onto the Rugby,.. Must admit that we have been following with great interest the rise of the Welsh team (you've actually done quite well since you got rid of that bloody kiwi coach :)in the 6 nations this year, especially as you bet the Poms,...(and forget about Johnny, he won't be fit enough to play any real games!).. Have tickets for the first testmatch here at Lancaster park so will be able to confirm wether NSmans fear that you lot will resort to bribery and corruption, as it will be your only real chance of winning!

Taffy, I might owe you an apology for my uncertainty about your Heritage?.... I just realised that your signature says you're from Ely, but i'd assumed from your nikname that you were Welsh??

BTW I see that Johnny's made a comeback for the game against the Argies this w/e, I guess that means he'll be out injured and won't make it on the Lions tour?

BBTW I thought that the "Lions" was only ever a touring team, and didn't play domestic matches?
 
kiwi

nothing is sacred anymore-the lions have played domestically once before i think about 20 years ago.

jonny! that was funny! yes he could well be injured after the argies have knobbled him and cried 'malvinas!'.

i have a welsh family but am born and bred in the east of england. i consider myself 60/40 because i live in england. it seems only right. even 'real' welsh people who come here, although patriotic-they're not nationalistic which is just as well when you haven't won a grand slam since 1970 summink!

i don't honestly think that the lions have the characters to cut it this time. too many very special players have stopped.

but you never know, we get some of the finest palyers in the world over here and the leagues are now very, very good.

sadly the foriegners are holding the game from falling!

i watched the national colts cup final three weeks ago at bedford. my old school master was there as youth organiser for the quins. quins v moseley and i'm afraid the game was quite poor-no it was worse than that! i could smell the lack of effort it was that tangible!

very worrying!

You guy's need to learn how to use PM's before the "off topic" police site you both for excessive drivel :wink:

But isn't that why you bought a Husaberg, bcos they are better and quicker ...(much like the all blacks really?)
 
Well Taff, johnny saved your butts again!, I gues the best news out of all this (for you) is that he survived a game without injury, and looks like he'll be heading down here for the tour. Wonder how he'll stand up to the game against the maoris?

I guess there must be some sould searching going on over there after the results?

Anyay I'm looking forward to some great rugby over the next few weeks,.. it's gunna impact on my maintenance time on the berg (that was so it could remain on topic?)

cheers

most of the players were playing over the last fortnight and there is quite a bit of team bonding to be done. the scrum-half 'cooper' was aweful and half the problem. the argies played really well and screwed the lions scrum.

your talking to a man who just 15 months ago was the newmarket club coach and i turned the club around. prior to that i ran the cambs county team for 4 years. so i know a bit about the game...

they'll keep improving, it's not unusual to see this. will it be enough-well we'll all see soon enough!

Taffy

PS-it won't impact on my berg development time as i don't normally get out of bed on a saturday until 9am so it's all gained time!
 
Well Taffy I've refrained from commenting on the Rugby,... until now. It was a most enjoyable tour, some of the best Rugby i've seen for a while, and we especially enjoyed the sportsmanship and courtesy of the players, and surprisingly the supporters (obviously the football hooligans don't support rugby),.. what has left a bad tase in our mouths is the poor sportsmanship/ poor looser attitude of Sir Clive. Frankly I think it was his poor leadership/selection that caused the first test loss and it just went downhill from there. But Rugby was the winner, I guess we now look forward to the AB' touring over there at the end of the year!

just my .02c, oh and BTW just to keep it on topic, all the rugby has prevented me from having time to install my Rekluse, but maybe now before the Tri nations starts I'll have some time :)

what can i say! you've stolen all my lines ya bugger! there is little i can disagree with. 'cuckoo' is frustrating to us as well because he is still in denial of it all. can you imagine geeks talking to him and gently trying to point out what's wrong?

like having a little 5-year-old and the bottom lip is out! "i'm not going!". i think you know what i mean...

NZ were awesome. like a machine. both weekends i recorded the france v aus and the SA v aus games to give myself some perspective. it makes NZ look very boring and uninspiring but when you win you're not going to worry about this. i also checked out the tackling and the lions front 5 can't tackle. then again oz du randt was left glued to the floor by larkham so it can happen to anyone.

is it NZ's usual "peak-between-two-world-cups" problem again?

we never put forwards in, we never got them to take the ball running, we dropped shayne burn when it was the lineout that was at fault. one knee jerk reaction after another whilst not addressing the real issues on the pitch. it's not clive's fault that they didn't clear that up. however selection was his pasture and he screwed it.

yes, they were brilliant, we were rubbish and now we wait for gregan et al to see if they can put them under pressure. no room though for 'flaky' players that's for sure!

one thing though; up here we can't stand proffesional fouls and cynical play and there was bucket loads of it from the blacks. if you win you forget it and if you lose; well your a poor loser so i'll say no more...

Sorry I cant talk about Rugby cause we play the REAL FOOTBALL game here :D but.....

I was wondering about your recluse and what the difference between that and the Revloc. I have heard both sides that one is better than the other but I know you guys here and have more faith in your comments than those found elsewhere. I really think I would like to keep the ability to fan the clutch for lofting the front wheel over rocks and logs and am not interested in making a rear brake on the left handelbar.
Thanks Gents.

p.s.
Ever notice that the only countrys that have really good Rugby teams are world famous for consumption of alchol? :twisted: It must have something to do with not using pads and all that or is it having your head up your buddy's bum? :lol: :lol:
 
naaa! it's the idea of stroking his balls before giving them a squeeze! all done with a pug-ugly smile through a gum sheild, vaseline and deep heat! now there's a turn-on!

i haven't tried the recluse bob but only last week someone i think it was berger-posted that the rekluse just can't take the power of the 650 at low turning speeds (ie torque loads) so i suggest you go to a berger post, then personal details/all posts by berger and it's probably back only a handful of posts.

jumping a log? etc etc. having ridden with you i would suggest you just phuqing saw it in half as you go as in the arkensaw chuka bug! what's the problem!

na! even with the rekluse i can pop the front wheel no problem but i am on 13/48 and you will be on 15/48 or 16/48 knowing you!

a clutch lever would i suggest be a neccessaty.

i love it. well worth it.
