    I'd like to discontinue my account
    This maybe has been discussed but just installed the Slavens 280# Bellevue clutch spring in my rekluse core exp set up and big difference!
    Locks up much tighter outs more power to the ground for sure! Set the spring ring on position 3 as well. It makes the clutch pull stiffer for sure but not cable clutch with the exp ring stiff.
    Rekluse needs to sell these with the kit! Before I always commented the 350 made a lot of noise but wasn't fast, I may have to change that remark now!

    I installed a heavy duty 280lb "Slavens" Belleville spring in the FE501 last week myself. Stock clutch retainer was on position 2 to begin with. So I had to install the new spring on position 3. Had a little drag at first but have double adjusting folding levers so I just set the lever angle out a little farther while out on the trail to pull further before it bottoms out on the grip. Had only 1 stall from clutch drag at walking speed before changing the lever angle. Its good now, just have to be more cognizant of disengaging fully when I need to do so. Or keep the throttle up. I may be going to a Rekluse as well.

    I use a larger diameter, fatter than normal gel grip too so that didn't help with regards to full disengagement.

    It will take a bit of getting used to. It does have a bit more pull required and in the single track I ride it will keep from cooking the clutch plates when the clutch is engaged.

    The heavy spring will be good to continue to build my grip strength for me after having a badly broken left wrist exactly 3 years ago yesterday.

    I'm not complaining, as all my old sintered metallic friction plates in my Old Maico's were 10 times as bad when it came to clutch drag.

    So I must say the new Husky has been spoiling me.

    The clutches whether cable pull or the Hydraulic actuation on the Kymco 449 and BMW G450 engines dragged a bit too but were so easy to pull.
