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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Rekluse Core EXP 3.0 full kit for my TE300........

I did it.....I got corralled into getting one......arm twisted, beat down, shamed, etc etc and now my over budget expensive kit is on the way......"you talked me into buying that WP Trax shock and getting it tuned by WP Factory Services.....you need to enjoy what I'm feeling with my Core EXP..."

This product was nowhere on my radar screen.....until last week when I helped install one into one of the crew's ZTR mod FE350S, this freakin moto thing is a real sickness. This thing better really raise my game to the tune= to $$ spent**************************************** wah wah wah...

You will scratch your head, wondering why you never got one.

Just smooth and puts the power to the ground!

Oh and you don't have that tired heart failure feeling kicking bike towards end of race!
 
I have an Auto clutch question. I've ridden a few bikes with Recluse clutches and didn't really like any of them accept one that I couldn't really tell the bike even had it except the engine would quit engine braking at idle which gave me a weird feeling in corners and occasionally when doing a zap on a step up the clutch would feel funny like it was unpredictable where the engagement point would be. This got me thinking, would I like a four stroke better with an auto clutch since one of the things I like least about a 4 stroke is the engine braking except drifting at high rpms in flat corners. I rode 2 300 2t KTMs back to back, both with auto clutches. I hated one and thought the other was ok. I was told the one that I thought was ok was $600+ and the one I hated was $300.(that figures) Is the high priced one the EXP and what is the difference in engine braking and overall operation compared to the cheaper one?

I'm not trying to hijack the thread but I figured that robertaccio got the core exp 3.0 for a reason.
 
It won't up your game except for the most technical stuff. Other then that it will make you lazy lol. I'm 230 pounds on a 250 4st and quit using the clutch all together. Bad idea :) was really surprised how quickly i got used to no engine braking.

I ended up giving it to my friend that i bought my bike from when he bought a new 310. Much happier with having flexx bars in the trade :). Don't be like me, remind yourself that the clutch is still there lol
 
I personally like the Z start Pro the best... Most people end up using it like a car and just drive around forgeting there is a clutch there.... use your clutch as normal.... I only used it to save me the 2-3 times a loop and just acted like it wasnt even there...

I'm actually having bigtime buyers remorse.both as a mechanical unit and of course the cost of admission...as I wait for its arrival.....the one that really rings in my ear is one of our local group (private shop owner/Beta dealer) said without his on his Beta300RR he would have never finished the Tecate Enduro. He's the one I'm really hearing because his is 2T and he is a Nat H&H 40B #1 and I know how he rides and what he rides.
My crewmate that really talked me into it, is the ZipTy/PC5 tuned FE350S guy (40A/ISDE vet) abut I think it will feel different on a 4T.
Anyway if I don't like it (I think I will).....there will be an almost new core for sale at a used product price......one of my concerns is upon decel..those in the know please let me know, because I consider myself a complete expert at decel clutch slipping to keep the chassis settled- a hand operated slipper clutch like the road race use. Its part of my muscle memory, this thing may upset my apple cart, or may enhance it.
 
additional I also relented because now it seems the tech has caught up with what I want from the clutch with the bonus of the no stall/auto feature.

You still have almost all compression braking. What you might like is a slipper clutch. Basically and adjustable one way clutch so you can free wheel on decel.

I used to use them a lot. Very good in super technical stuff. The faster and more open it gets the less you want / need it. For pop and stall happy 4 strokes in tight woods they are amazing and WILL make you faster. For 2 strokes it just makes things EZer. Like anything it is a trade off. You will need to relearn some stuff and also learn to exploit the advantages. One thing that is really fun and if done right can increase your overall speed is brake sliding into corners and powering out with zero clutch use. Works great once you sort it. Since you took the plunge do not give up on it right away. Even if you dont like it make yourself ride it for many rides before removing. There is a learning curve and it is semi steep for some people that are very focused on what they like currently and have used for a long time. Give it a chance and work on exploiting the attributes it brings.
 
Thanks, I fit the mold of taking my time. My new bike learn curve is always a full 12 months, so like my 2T 300 (which I now have a legit 1 year on) I will take time to really get this thing and to exploit its value.

what really throws you for a loop is adding a LHRB to all that. Now thats a learning curve. About killed myself riding a buddies bike with one who had removed the foot brake altogether. I had impressive corner speed in that first turn :D
 
U want that left hand rear brake if u ever stall on a nasty up hill. U can still stall an auto clutch and u will. I found out the hard way.
 
I didnt like the LHRB because there it asnt as easy to use the clutch lever.... I still want to use the clutch on a normal basis.... a lot of guys here turn their idle way up so its always engaging.... When I had mine I did dead engine starts in 3rd gear, no shift to first turn gives you a killer hole shot.....
