I just received a Rekluse pro for my 06' TE510. I was just wondering if anyone had any helpful tips on install before I try it myself. The instructions seem pretty clear and straight forward, but I didn't know if anyone had any suggestions of things to do, try, or look out for during install. Any help is appreciated.
I did mine just by reading the instructions, it was actually really simple. Worked first attempt! You should be fine.
I'm not sure of the differences between the regular and the pro. At least on the regular (non-Pro) version, you want to give it a good run-in (I think they recommend 20 minutes) and then check the install gap, as the mechanism will set-in and may need further adjustment (at least it did for me). Of course, this is to prevent it setting-in in the field, and needing adjustment (that happened to me). Also, on the non-Pro version, be absolutely sure that all the (16 or so) screws holding down the plate are lock-tited and tight, as they can back out.
Well I got it installed no problem, but the clutch lever does not seem to be fully disengaging the clutch. I can feel a little resistance on the lever and a slight slipage of the clutch when the lever is near the bar, but no full disengagement. Any suggestions?
Clutch worked fine before the rekluse install. Now It' doesn't even seem to make a difference if I pump it.
Make sure you are using the correct springs. The instructions in ours were wrong...they included the ones for a WR and we accidentally put in the spring for a two stroke. You can get the correct installation sheet on the Rekluse website. I bet that's your problem as that is exactly what Troy's did.
Double checked springs while checking gap after break in, and all are correct. While the clutch cover was off, I pulled the clutch lever and saw only a tiny bit of movement on the shaft. Hardly enough to make contact with the top plate. I think I'll try bleeding the clutch. I've heard some say that the bike should be running when bleeding with a rekluse. Is this true?
my clutch lever has hardly any resistance when the revs are down or the bike is not going . start the bike put it in gear and now increase the revs , the clutch lever will expand out with more force as the clutch spins . the more the clutch engages the more pressure will be on that lever.
Checked the clutch plate gap today and it was good, so I reverse bled the clutch. That seems to have fixed it, lots of air in the line. I suppose it got all the air from laying on its side for about an hour. Now it works like a charm Buttery smooth!
