  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

All 2st Righteous Stunt Metal Easy Pull Clutch with Rekluse Review

I have nothing to do with this place and gain no benefit from this so take it for what its worth....

So I bought an RSC easy pull clutch lever to help combat the ridiculously heavy pull on my WR300 with the Rekluse 2.0. I like to use the clutch now and then but don't like to stall the bike so that's how I ended up in this situation.

I wasn't sure what size to get since RSC does offer three sizes but I followed the advice of the web site and went with the XL size, which they claim is close to the factory size, because I wanted as much leverage as I could get! I also ordered the "Dirt Bike Adapter" which they say you need if you want to reuse your quick adjuster, which I did. I ordered on a Thursday afternoon and had it on Monday so shipping was good.

The Clutch lever next to the stock lever see Photo1

The original lever and quick adjuster came out fine, I had lengthened the cable as much as I could. Looking back I would have just taken out the clutch springs to make life easy. I noticed in my case the dirt bike adapter center hole wasnt deep enough for the quick adjuster to sit in and still be able to adjust to an acceptable level so I took a 5/16 bit and drill the hole out a little deeper just to where the adapter steps down to go into the perch leaving enough meat so it wouldn't snap during a crash (Not like that would ever happen). You could just use the included manual cable adjuster and skip all this if you want, but i didn't.

The direction I drilled into the adapter see Photo2

As you can see the lever looks nice and fits well. I was flying solo this day so had to rig up a contraption to take tension of the cable so I could thread everything back together, thats why I said I would have just taken out the clutch springs but I was feeling my inner MacGyver coming out. Dont laugh to hard. See Photo3

I tested everything and was close on my settings for the Rekluse right off the bat. So the lever reduced the pull by I'd say 35-40% with the rekluse in and is very smooth! I'd say the pull is well within my realm of an acceptable pull probably a strong 1 finger or 2 finger pull not a 3 or 4, It's not 125 light but WAY better!

Last Photo shows the final product with the stock cover on.

thanks for taking the time to post this. Is there room on the WR300 to lengthen the actuating arm that comes out of the case? Might be more leverage available. Old school trick we used to do back in the day that worked well.
 
I have found that just rerouting the cable and keeping it lubed works just fine for me.I run the recluse 2.0 also and use 2 fingers at the most.I use the clutch like normal also,more of an anti stall devise for me.I do have strong hands though.I'm a mechanic. How much total did this setup cost? good write up though.
 
Thanks, yeah the clutch arm can be extended and I have an idea rolling around and am meeting with my machinist after Thanksgiving to discuss cost. Will definitely follow up if it works out!

This set up was right around $100 which isn't cheap for sure but moose and I think msr make a $50 version made from cast stuff with tons of lever slop. I felt this billet setup was far stronger and smoother. Just my 2 pennies.
