  • 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?

200 Race Edition. Am I too rich?
42 P 170 M NECJ-3rd clip.  The grunt is fantastic, its smooth throughout its range. Climbs slow tech hills like a donkey. I'm so close to nailing the jetting. I honestly really like it. But I think it's a tad richer than necessary (I think). Had quite a bit more spooge at the end of the day and noticed spooge spattering on the motor which is new, probably from the rubber coupler but never had that before.  I'm at sea level PNW woods and semi-hard enduro.  If I were to go on

How valves should look
Here are pics off an 80cc head. Intake valves look clean, no build up (2nd pic). Exhaust valves look to have oil caked around the inside (3rd and 4th pic). Is this normal? In the pic, the intake valve is the larger one and exhaust (one with build up) is the smaller one. Please let me know your thoughts. The clips that hold the piston broke and scored up the cylinder so i am doing a top end build but dont know if one of the valves is bad. Do i need to replace the exhaust valve because it is letti
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.
