Thanks for the info.

keep us updated on the motor mods and the clutch as well. Be nice to see the Pro model available for the GG bikes but as of now no dice.

Do you guys get a practice bike or does it just show up prepped for race days? That would kind of stink IMO. You need to be one with the bike.

I have been running the old Z-Start in my other 05 KTM and I loved the clutch. Once I got it set up the way I wanted it I did even know that it was the old Z style. I put the new pro in my 08 KTM and it didn't work as well as my Z style. I sent it back and they made some mods to it but I still like the old setup better. When I get the correct spring and TC ball combination I will let you know. I set mine up to come in right off idle and to clamp hard so that should mean the bigger spring with 3 or 5 TC balls. I may end up having to go with the small spring,1 shim and then try 3 and 5 TC balls. I'm buying a bike to bring home for the NETRA series and will set that one up for NE. When I get it done, anyone who wants to try it out can, just ask. It will be set up with a rekluse and a super soft suspension for the rocks. My riding style is more like a B rider or Senior. So my setup should be great for the average racer or trail rider.

I take the inside line on every corner so I don't have to travel as far as you do. Then when someone passes me I just go through the woods and come back out on the trail so that I never have to pull over and stop. I guess that it all adds up to 30 minutes.

I rode Woodie Cliftons (NETRA SS champ 07) Honda 250X with the standard Z clutch and that thing was dialed. Just super progressive and worked awesome. He's spent allot of time getting it that way I know. I then rode with a Pro model on a 250XCFW that was in it's stock suggested setup and it was far to abrupt, sending me in directions I sometimes didn't want to go. It's since been tuned far different but I haven't ridden it yet. This was my first experience really for an entire day of riding with the auto clutch and I loved it. Took no time to adapt and get the hang of bliping the throttle to control the free wheeling thing when that happened and to not worry about stalling in the rocks was great. I'd love to try your bike whe you have it dialed in.

Not a problem at all. I love the rekluse clutches and will always ride with one in NE. Have you tried the trials tire yet with the auto clutch? Dunlop 803 is my favorite. I change them out after every race so if anyone wants to try one ask and I can bring a used one to an enduro.

I haven't tried the trials tire thing yet. I just ordered a Mitas ET-01 yesterday after reading the many positve reviews of it and GMP said it's really good. After watching Woodie on his other bike, a KTM 200 with the trials tire and auto clutch, go right up stuff I was just sliding sideways on even lugging my motor I was convinced. Here's my plan. Trials tire, auto clutch, G2 throttle cam system and the Nuetech Tubliss system when it's finally out (Feb/March dates now). We'll see at the Tri State how it works. Most likely much better than me if I don't start working out.

Billy,

Are you on an '08 200?

Do you run the Trials tire in all NETRA events, or just a select few ?

I'm on an 07 as there are no 08 200 in the USA yet. The bikes are basically the same. I ran a trials tire at every enduro last year except the snowrun and Newark. As for the H/S I think that I ran a regular knobby at the snow scramble, and maybe one more, but that was it. I know that I used 19 of them last year out of 26 Netra races. I worked 2, ran 2 snow runs with studs, and missed Catra for an enduro so that would be all races except 2. I
