GNCC # 833 Rider Allan Root (ajr400ex)

Thursday night we installed a Rekluse Z-start Clutch in Al's 450R.

After about an hour of tuning and break-in on Friday we headed for the Mountaineer GNCC.

Al had not had a good start all season on his new 450R.

This weekends start was his best so far. He was able to kick the quad and take off without hesitation. He was among the first to launch off of the starting line.

He ran the whole race without stalling out and was able to take an 11th in the 33+ class, also his best finish of the year.

This is an awesome upgrade for the 450R. It is also available for the YFZ450 and the Z400.

i herd that the new z clutch can cause trouble in XC if you pile up on a hill . because once you let off the gas the atv goes backwards when the brakes cant hold you on the hill. is this true

its very true...however if the brakes wont hold you, the tranny probably wont either

[wanta450]

good point i also herd its harder on brakes because you have no engine braking once you let off the gas

[Pappy]

you have engine braking until the engine rpm falls below your set stall speed, which is just above idle.

it would be a safer bet to say its harder on brakes because you will be riding much faster into the corners and be slamming the brakes on that much harder:blah:

Check your clearance between the clutch plates as descirbed in the instructions. And make sure your cable has enough slack.

Luecker is right!

Mine was doing the same thing after many races. All I did was readjust the cable slack. Works perfect.:D

After you have installed the Rekluse clutch it is recommended that you re-check the "installed-gap" after a short break-in period, typically 1 hour.

Cable slack is very important. The clutch cable must move freely. Some people tend to tiewrap or secure their cables too tight. Try to maintain the same amount of slack as the stock cable mounting.

If you continue to have problems I would suggest that you discuss them with your dealer. Between them and Rekluse I bet they can solve your problem.
