    What is your experience with Tungsten Carbide balls added to your Rekluse clutch? The dealer suggested I put 5 in because I stated my bike sounded a lot like a Polini if I happened to be a gear low.

    I did it, and it has helped, but I still need to be pretty high in the rpm range in order to just snap the front end off the ground to bounce rocks, logs and such. Do I need to adjust my riding style to just gide a gear lower, or does more TC balls improve this?

    Go with the lightest wave spring that will work well and the tightest install gap that works well. If this does not get you what you want add more Tungsten balls. Pro or standard version? Pro can and will bit harder and quicker in my experience.

    Thank you. I have the regular Z-start. It works very well, but I'm still not used to it. I am very excited at how I cannot stall the bike, it has saved me countless seconds on rides already. I guess I'm experimenting with the fine tuning of this thing to get the best combo of goodness. I had it save my bacon on a hillclimb twice on the last ride. I had a rider stuck in front of me in my line, and was able to scrub speed, change lines, and regain some momentum because the thing modulated the clutch perfectly. It made it easy. I may have been able to pull that off without the auto clutch, but it made it so easy. I laughed!
