I am trying to understand the benefits of a Rekluse clutch for a pure Motocross bike. My CRF450 only sees MX.. no trails, no enduro, no single track. It currently has a Hinson 6 spring clutch in it and I am happy.
I hear people raving about the clutch and when I ask them why, I get sound bites like "its almost like cheating". How? I understand that the bike is difficult to stall if you go down, but that is not a huge selling point for me.
What are the other advantages of a Rekluse clutch for a bike that only sees motocross?

I use third gear starts and pull a lot of hole shots.

I don't like 4-stroke engine braking. This is my biggest issue. I was thinking of the Rekluse primarily to reduce the engine braking that I find a hindrance from the entrance of the corner to the apex, before I get back on the gas. Some people say it does reduce engine braking, some say it doesent, some say it only does a little which has left me confused.

It's an amazing product and will only make you faster.
A lot of people think that you get the Rekluse and have to stop using the clutch. But just use it like you normally would and let it help you when you make a mistake.
The exp has some great tuning ability. I set mine so it engages right away, that way I can use the clutch to help me out of turns or when I need some extra speed burst off a jump.
That being said, I think it was an older version I rode. That's why I say, please clarify which version you are talking about that feels just like a normal clutch. and please tell us if it pulls any harder or softer than stock. I never could figure out these crazy names.. Z-start, Core, Core-EXP, Core-EXP-Pro ??? Can someone break this down elementary style for us? I assume the most expensive one is the one you have to buy if you want all the Pros and none of the Cons.
I have riden bikes with other versions of the Rekluse and I believe this is the most simple and the best they have to offer.
I will not own another bike without one of these in it!
I have had several other folks ride my bike and they have now install this unit in their bikes.

You would think it is a stock clutch, EXCEPT:
-situations when you would stall the bike
-staying on the throttle much longer into corners before braking
-running one or two gears higher on a hardpack off camber section
-race start in 2nd gear with no clutch and NO wheel spin
I feel they are helpful in all of the above situations, PLUS rekluse offers a money back guarantee...You cant afford not to try one.
We sell them at my shop, a good amount of them... Never had a customer return one. We have sold Z-start pros, CORE EXP, exp... CORE EXP seems to be most user friendly and leaves clutch usage most like stock. I have one on my 13' KX450F and love it. It comes with a nice clutch cover too
I understand your experience because my buddy had a z-start pro on his CRF450R and it was set up so horrible! So i suggest the new CORE EXP because it's pretty hard to set up wrong. Once you get these dialed in, there is nothing better!
