  • Referring to Rekluse’s “auto clutch” systems is much more simply stated than achieved. Auto clutch technology has been meticulously engineered, tested, and developed through several generations in the engines of many different brands and types of motorcycles. But, what are the benefits of running an auto clutch in the first place?

What did you do to your Beta today ?
With a tip of the hat to a similar thread on the ADV forum, what did you do to yer beloved Beta today ?   I spooned on a fresh MT43 (yum !) and attempted to bump up to a 50 tooth in the rear. I was disappointed to discover the chain was not long enough to accommodate the 50 tooth - and had to revert to the heavily worn stock 48 tooth sprocket.   As my chain still has plenty o' life in it, I'll order me up a IronMan 48 tooth, and bump to the 50 when the chain needs replacin' .
Possibly starting my daughter on a bike.
Wife and I have been talking and looking to get my 11 year old daughter a bike of her own. She has shown some interest in wanting one where as my 16 year old son has not and wants nothing to do with them.  She isnt a kid that is really scared of things which is good and bad at the same time i guess.  We are looking mainly at the pit bikes that are pretty popular now like the TTR110 and CRF110. Most look to have electric start and are automatics with no clutch setup. Which I think wil
Possible SERIES regulator/rectifier for us.
I might have found a possible replacement SERIES RR for us so we can get rid of that old SHUNT style RR and maybe solve the whole dropping voltage at RPM mystery. BTW I checked the voltage drop out and the voltage to the battery seems pretty stable 14ish volts and has little drop at high RPM when using my multimeter. My best guess is the meter in the dash is reporting such a big drops because it's inline with a bunch of stuff that is pulling power though small wires, small wires and high d

Knee aching after trail ride - exercises to help?
Today I went trail riding with my 23 yo son.  We rode about 20 miles, in 2nd and 3rd gear, mostly switchbacks with no real elevation change other than lots of water breaks. I stood up while riding as much as I could, but eventually had to sit down.  Hours later, back home, my knees are very sore.  I've been doing 30 min sessions on the stair climber at my local gym and thought that would prevent knee aching, but it hasn't. Are there specific leg exercises that should minimize k
Fz8 dirt off road must haves?
Hello, got my hands on an fz8 for dirt cheap and want to convert it as much dirt oriented as possible for fun  original tires are 170 55 17, which would be the most aggressive dirt tire and do I need to stick to 170 or can I go smaller? (don’t need it to be DOT) Any recommendations on sprockets? Won’t be going more than 70mph maybe gear down for lower speeds?    
Toyota 4 runner
Anyone have one from the last few years? Does the base 2WD model have any undercarriage junk that has to be removed for oil changes? I always do my own.  Have learned that the oil change shops can't be trusted.
