FE/FC Any 17 501 Owners Yet?

What gearing came on it? Here in the US the offroad version
come with 13 50

My 450 just came with 14/45.

I think the street legal bikes come with that gearing (14 45) which is quite useless unless your commuting

Hi guys, has anyone complete their emission delete process. I'm hoping that someone could share what individual hoses and parts needs to be removed? I'd prefer to remove instead of block. In Canada we don't have emissions compliance program or aircare, EPA so no need to keep it. I'm keeping the bike so resell is not a factor.

I know I'm asking a lot but would anybody mind taking a stab at listing the components that can be removed?

The more information the better.

Thanks a ton guys!

Disregard guys, I figured it out.

I removed the EGR valve off of the head and plugged with an OEM plug and washer off of a 16' 450. Then I removed the plastic charcoal canister that is hidden in the frame between the radiators. This had three hoses going out of it. I removed all of them. For the gas tank vent hose, I used an OEM hose and plastic elbow off of a motocross model. Then there is the plastic thing on top of the transmission. This got removed along with all the hoses and such. I made a jumper wire for the electrical connector that went to it.

Wow. Can't imagine pulling out the canister was easy eh? What a pile of hoses and EPA junk.

How many hours to break in the motor and how long unit first oil change guys?

I had to carefully use a sawzall. It made a terrible mess.

Would of loved to of seen that. Just had to go eh?

Rekluse ExpCore 3.0

Has anyone installed this on their 2016 or 2017 FE 501?

No one? Really...

Rekluse clutches are well discussed, summary being their stuff is well made. Some swear by the auto clutch effects, some do not. The stock clutch on these bikes is very good, but, of course, you have to provide the modulation. It seems I have heard that they contaminate the oil a bit quicker than standard clutch. Not sure if they run hotter, but I would think they might in heavy usage.

As an ancillary issue to consider, I don't know if the 17s have the "cush" rubber blocks in the clutch hub but I suspect they do, as the pre 17 models did. I also don't know if using a rekluse retains the stock clutch basket, but if not, those dampers would be gone and they are good to have in your driveline for any street riding.

Installing mine tomorrow on a 17 FE450.......it's my third and I love the kluse'

Wow, really eh. Expensive habit you have. LOL Love to hear you feedback after you take her for a rip in the trails and single track. Cheers!

this snow is driving me nuts......might be rideable conditions in a week or so I hope.....and yes, expensive habit.....bought a 2nd set of D/S wheels, Rekluse, Mosko luggage, big tank, seat....crap, the list goes on.....hope this thing is worth it!

It should run good just like the 2014-2016 models run. No major engine changes overall. Should be a good solid reliable bike.

Installed the 3.0 Rekluse today and rode it around just a bit to seat the clutch in. Clutch install was a breeze. Still too much snow here (off-road) to get much of a sense of the bike. Power possibly seems down from my FX450 Husaberg but it only has a couple of miles on it and it quite quiet, exhaust wise. Steering seems very light as does the whole bike although on the scales it was only 12 LBS less than my Berg (also fitted with a Shorai battery- so 4 LBS of that 12 is not the battery)
Seat is a rock, I have a "soft" Seat Concepts kit to install....hopefully that will be an improvement.
I really need a full off-road day of riding it to give much of ride review though.
