John, look me up at Dilwyn or one of the other races if you can make it and I'll let you ride mine. They are nice and evidently hard to get your hands on with all of the new GG's floating around.

Great offer Daniel and I 'll be working a check point again this year at the Dilwyn race. I'll be taking my excavator up there next weekend to fix an up- hill section riders had a hard time with last year. I had a Rekluse Pro on my 07 Honda CRF 450R and it did make it some what trail ridable so the GG with one must be something special.

Hi Guys,

The install was really easy. You will need a clutch holding tool!

Basically, you keep your basket. You replace your hub and install a Ring in replace of some friction plates. Follow the instructions, ride and adjust.

I have only had to adjust once since I installed it on the bike (which was during Break in) and love it. It has made me a much smoother beginner Enduro rider, which in deep mud and ruts is a good thing! I am no longer cutting out everywhere, I have a hare and hound this coming weekend and will post in detail following the race

Thanks and good luck this weekend. A clutch holding tool?

A good alternative to a holding tool is just use an impact gun and leave a couple of the friction disks and plates in the basket when you loosen or tighten the nut. That spins the center nut fast enough that you don't need the tool. Milwaukee Tools makes a nice 18v rechargeable that works like a charm...

Ok thanks bputt thats how I did the pro install on my 07 CRF450R. I have a Hilti 18 volt impact wrench and it came right off and went right back on with no problems. I was just wondering in case it did take special tools to install the EXP unit.

First GG, 2nd Rekluse EXP. I have them on both my '09 KTM xcw and my '11 GG EC300 they are super. Just like the factory clutch but no stalling! I actually think that it is better on the GG, maybe it is the GG is better. I find that I can mange lifting the front much better on the GG than the KTM for logs and such.

A more consistant answer is to use a torque wrench set at 50 ft. lbs. If you put the bike in 5th gear and use the rear brake, it will hold the center hub enough.
Sometimes the impact wrench will overtighten the nut and create inconsistant stalling problems.

I've ridden my KTM 450 XC for the past 3 years with the Pro Start and had experimented with the springs for engagement etc. Once I got it right I really liked it. The problem initially was not being able to loft the front tire to get over logs.

I just bought a 300 Nambo and rode it for 4 days in Rabbit Valley / Moab for the first time. Besides not being used to a 2 stroke I was humbled by the lack of skill I have from riding with a rekluse the past few years. My KTM 450 is pretty much a goat. I just pointed it where I wanted to go and went without any effort.

I will be putting a Rekluse in very soon! I want to learn how to make it over the snotty technical roots and rocks before I put it in just for the skill set, then I'm going for the Core EXP. Effort level is about 50% of riding without one.

A starter is in my near future as well. Say what you want, but when your tired, on the side of a hill and you have to start your bike with a broken POS kick start lever a magic button, to me, is worth the cost.
