    WB- It is running great! I do have to run 112 in it or it will detonate but other then that I really love it. Amazed how much better it runs then even a stock wr150. You did a great job!:banana:

    Or did you mean the rekluse? It is an EXP, so it shouldnt be too expensive. We finished different spring and spacer combinations and it works really well now. Mine engages about 300 rpm off idle and locks in hard if you get on it. You can also run a gear high on hill climbs and it slips perfectly!! Lots of traction, no wheel spin. no clutching. I also like the fact that since it engages so low it does not free wheel when you let off, IE going down steep hills stays engaged.. I can say enough about the support I received from Rekluse engineering. I think it will put a smile on a lot of the wr125/144/167 clan!!

    I just bought the new digital ignition so it will be a while (next merry Christmas to me) before I can treat myself to the WB165 kit.

    WB - have you run a 144 with the WB (KTM) pipe? I would be interested in how it ran. It would be great to buy the exhaust now and then the 165 kit later. And I take it the standard KTM pipe guards will fit.

    Kelly - I would be interested in the kickstart lever if it has more clearance for the exhaust. Tired of it hitting the FMF.

    Rekluse has a "ring" type clutch kinda like the old dyna ring already available for the 125 basket...

    +1 for the Rekluse! I have been hounding them non stop for a few months now. Last week I was told that it would probably be available by early February so it looks like they are on schedule. Chuck, do you know if theses are built specifically to withstand the extra HP and torque of the 165/167? I know that Rekluse has big bold red writing on their website that states their clutches are not for big bore kits. I would imagine that if your bike was a test mule then it would be good for any cc. Just curious.

    I just looked in the parts bin and we do have 1 dyna ring for a 125 and 1 for a 250 as well. Let me or kelly know if you would like 1. Mike.

    No mine was it's own unit... I think Joe Chod told us that a Honda CR 125 clutch basket was the same dimensions.. Went to Rekluse to talk about it . They decided to give it a go (this was May of 2010 ) so it's almost 2 years and I've had no problems. I take it in when they need it or if I have a question.. great group of folks at Rekluse...
