slipper clutch on dirt
- Thread starter hicksamunga
- Start date
Unfourtunatly NOT too much expierience,
but I tested it on 3 different Bikes (450 EXC, YZ450F & GASGAS450)
what I liked most is the reduced "clutch-pull" - it feels like you´re on a trial-motorcylce
but to be honest: I would NOT pay that much money for it
Better go for an Automatic-clutch,
or use the "saved" money to sent your stock (?) suspension to a specialist
But that´s my opinion and I don´t know your riding style

Me!bourne, Down Under!
I am thinking of fitting a Rekluse Pro. The same as fitted in the "dirtbiketelevision"clip someone posted yesterday. I have the same problem. The on or off rear brake gives me the runs.
Over ran one to many corners!
Because of this i have a stress fracture in my right leg.This may also have something to do with my enquiries.
cheers Todd

Hi sixfiddy,
had a Rekluse on one of my bikes (WR450F) and yes, an autoclutch makes riding a LOT easier!
But please, consider also some other manufactors.
Why? The Rekluse tends to stall you bike (immediatly) - and 3 of my friends had/still have the same difficulties with rekluse
(3 different bikes)
2 of them are (offrad)-bike dealers and they put a lot of work on their bikes - never could cure this problem ( we´ve put more than 20 hours of work on each bike...)
but: it never worked perfect
Maybe someone found a cure? I don´t know
Then we tried the Revloc and it worked (almost) right of the box...

I do have a slipper on my 450. I use the bike in the summer for supermoto and then use in the winter for dirt. I do prefer the slipper in the dirt compared to the stock clutch. The bike flows into corners smoothly and quickly, but if I was just riding dirt I would most likely go with an autoclutch. :wink:

Thanks Gokai134,
I havnt heard of the Revloc but will look into it. I was looking at the Rekluse beacuse it is about all i hear about down hear. Thanks.
berg05,
What brand of slipper do you use?

Isnt a slipper and autoclutch the same thing?
cheers Todd

So,
take a look to the following pages,
they will explain you the differnce it detail.
I´ like to try explain, but I do have some limitations with english language
Basically a slipper clutch is acutated manually by the rider, it will only help to cure your "hopping" rear-wheel eg.under heavy braking (SuM0)
www.revloc.com (as far as I know, they are the invetor of the autoclutch?), the
www.rekluse.com
and CelticDude posted this link yesterday: www.efmautoclutch.com
If looking for an slipperclutch,
go either for the Husaberg-original one,
or what I heard from lots of Euopean-SuMo riders the best one is build made by Suter in Switzerland:

I think of a slipper clutch as being a device that has a one way sprague on half or more of the driven plates allowing the clutch to automatically slip during hard decelleration since half or less plates actually transfer power in decelleration mode. Many modern sport bikes have them OEM now. I think everyone is familiar with the auto clutch so no explanation needed.

I have thought about getting a slipper clutch as well, as I ahve never totallty come to grips with the engine braking and the effects on entering turns, especially bumpy ones (I still have alot of 2T blood in my viens).
Hi sixfiddy,
I have the slipper out of the force parts catologue. I have had no problems with it and am supper happy with the performance. There are 3 variations of engine braking that can be applied via spacers, depending on how much you want it to freewheel on deceleration. From what I know the more spacers, the more drag, and the less oil the clutch plates get. I run no spacers for max freewheel and in an attempt to get the most life out of the clutch. It is very very usefull in supermoto and also makes offroad riding much smoother and more dependant on braking. Kinda like riding a smoker...
