  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

125-200cc Clutch slack after Rekluse install on WR150

I just installed my Rekluse exp 2.0, easy job, but... now I have way too much slack in the clutch. I have adjusted it at the perch and also at the other spot partway down the cable, and added in an extra spacer as directions recommended in the clutch pack under the pressure plate.

Any ideas?
 
How many plates did you use.setup sheet was wrong with mine said 5 of each but should be 4.rekluse knows of this and should be correcting the sheet
 
oh really? My sheet still said 5 of each so did that. They should be correcting the sheet or sending out a correction page to be added to ones at the dealers. Thanks for the tip, I'll change it today.
 
I ordered one for my 2008 CR165 Monday, it hasn't arrived but Ill check to see how many it say's to install and post it up. Thanks for the tip Barry. Let us know how it all works out for ya BC.
 
I called Rekluse this morning and I guess they have updated the sheet on their website to say 4 of each stock plates, and he figured they would have the updated sheet coming out with new clutches. But thanks again for the tip, this site is great for that! :) I'll try the clutch out this weekend and see how I like it. The plus to all this is I am getting good at taking the clutch apart and back together :p
 
You will love the clutch.It works great.Makes tight technical riding so easy its like cheating and you can creep up hills at a snails pace if you want.Also impossible to stall.
 
Another question... got it installed with correct number of plates and free play gain where it should be at, and idle adjusted so it idles in gear. Anyone with a 125/150 with this clutch, does it make the clutch harder to pull in? (just compared to stock...)
 
Yeah, I got it mostly because of racing... those last couple laps on a technical course or towards the end of a race when your clutch hand is just done! I have geared the bike right down and that's helped but still times I wish I had the rekluse, so looking forward to riding with it! I had the pro model on my last bike (ktm 250F) and loved it... this bike the clutch is super easy to use as stock, but getting a break in the tight stuff will be nice :)
 
Yes because the rekluse kit springs are stiffer.Only time i use the clutch lever now is to loft the front wheel from almost dead stop.Otherwise I dont use it at all.
 
I just picked up a new 2012 WR144. Which Rekluse is available for this model. I have never tried an auto clutch, but thinking of putting one in this bike.
 
What part of BC are you in?? Where can I find a listing for a wr150?? I just looked at rekluses page and couldn't find it.

The one I rode it did seem to be slightly stiffer than stock. But it is using a 2 finger lever with not a great mechanical advantage. Best part is you shouldn't need to use the clutch a whole lot. With the 165, I virtually never use it.

Do you have a Rekluse in your 165? EXP?
