My Rekluse gets installed tonight by some friends who have put them into several bikes already and could probably do it with their eyes closed. I know it's supposed to be easy, but I'm a wrenchin' ******.

Looks like I get to break in the clutch at the same time I'm finishing my bike's break in. I managed only about 2 hours of run time last weekend. :cry: I loved it, but I'm ready to start twisting the throttle a bit more.

Now if my Boss skidplate would arrive, and if I would get off my tail and order the rad guards, then I'll be close to all set-up...except for dialing in the jetting.

Cant you run a clutch lever on that Ned?? I kept them on all of mine.

afaik, ken, the external adjuster takes the place of the clutch lever and meters the level of engagement by means of a spring applying a slight tension on the actuating rod that goes thru the case. if i left the clutch connected instead of the external adjuster, it wouldn't know how much preload to get. remember, i'm still in the dark ages of cable type clutches. :shock: at this point i'm saying good riddance.

Hi Ned,

Hey congrats on your upgrade. I have a question, does it make it any easier kickstarting?
