    Questions for you good people:

    I have an 06 TE510. When almost new, I installed a rekluse and the LHRB. I ride mostly up in the sierras -- forest service roads, occasional rutty 4x4 roads or a bit worse, as well as some serious road/highway connections between dirt bits. I'm in an infrequent dirt rider of modest ability. While I probably don't "need" the set-up, I've really come to love it. It has been problem free to me for about 2500 miles.

    I'm going to baja (trip to the tip) in December. It seems that rekluse setups are not too common for desert riding. But I have one installed already. Is there reason to think that the rekluse set-up is asking for trouble in baja riding conditions? I would think not, based on my experience to date. But I don't want to take unnecessary risks on this trip.

    Thanks for any thoughts/suggestions. Ed

    I'd drop this post in the "trip to the tip" thread. You should get a few more answers there.

    Sand creates more heat on the clutch and then you add a clutch that it's design is to slip will create even more heat. If you set it up for sand you should not have a problem with it. The clutch should engauge at a lower RPM for sand.
