250-500cc Revloc DynaRing on a WR360

I put a Revloc dyna ring on the 360 and test rode it today.

Revloc don't make a dyna ring for the 360 so I fitted one from a 250/300. It fell together without a problem. The only issue was that I had to pack out the thrust washer to get clearance. No problem. What I was worried about was the extra torque of the 360 and the fact that it has fewer clutch plates than the 250, 2 of which get removed to fit the dyna ring.

To cut a long story short, it doesn't appear to be able to deal with the torque or maybe the 360 doesn't rev hard enought to spin the ball bearings out with enough force to clamp hard enough. I'm not sure really but, when adjusted to provide enough slip to not stall when stationary and in gear, it flares when the throttle is opened wide. It will cope if the gap is reduced but that defeats the purpose.

It's early days and I haven't given up on it yet but its not looking good.

Note: Please do not take this post as an indication that the dyna ring is no good. I am using it in a way not intended by Revloc. I think the product would be fine for the wr250 and 300... just not so much for the 360
