Rekluse Clutch and how to ride one

[Steve300xcw]

But the dude is just trying to cruise some forest roads to go fishing and scouting, he's not trying to become a racer.

Rekluse is a great tool for a lot of folks to increase the fun factor, not everyone is trying to be the next Graham Jarvis.

And I hope he enjoys his bike. Getting the basics dialed in first isnt a bad thing. Just my opinion, though I'm not sure why you are so against that

I miss the days when everyone with an opinion didn't think you had to ride a 300 2 stroke and do hard enduro to be a dirt bike rider.

Dont even own a 300 anymore. My 150 was probly the funnest bike I've owned.

I just don't really think it's necessary in his case and lots of other use cases, dude clearly already knows "the basics" or he wouldn't be able to take the bike out and ride it. Is getting better always a good thing? Yes. But I don't think this fella needs to take the Rekluse out of his bike and train to go enjoy what he wants to enjoy.

Fix the Rekluse adjustment and go ride it. I'd bet once he's done that the Rekluse is going to add to the fun factor and ease of ridability.

It's funny that when Rekluse first came out they were basically universally praised in the off road world, it's only been since hard enduro became so popular that it became "cool" to shit talk Rekluse clutches.

Dude is definitely not shit talking. Just pointing out the benefits of understanding how much proper clutch use can make you progress as a rider. Which in turn makes you safer, more efficient and confident in places that are intimidating or rocky/technical.

OP has stated numerous times he bought the bike to use as a dual sport, never really indicated he had any desire to go ride technical trails. Thus why I've been saying just adjust it and go have fun.

Unless you and Steve think he needs to be training for hard enduro so that he can go ride on gravel roads?

I’m just pointing out what he’s saying. No need to be a dick or abrasive because of it.

In fact if you read back on my first comment on this post I suggested him take it apart and inspect. Not once did I say anything about hard enduro.

OP what years the bike?

The man also has a handful of threads about bikes on here, and it paints a fairly clear picture

it's only been since hard enduro became so popular that it became "cool" to shit talk Rekluse clutches.

Did not realize I was talking shit. Opinion is based off of what I have seen. Could care less what a paid rider is using.

Unless you and Steve think he needs to be training for hard enduro so that he can go ride on gravel roads?

You are the only one that keeps bringing up technical terrain and hard enduro.

^ This is all stuff a bike owner should be able to do at home? Bike shops are MONTHS out for repairs. YT is amazing. I just don't want to be down a bike for month. Especially a "new" one to me.

Been a while since I looked, But Slavens Racing used to have a pretty good youtube page for working on your junk.
