Long time YZ 2-stroke guy here. Decided to try a 4 stroke this year and went with the KX450 3 weeks ago. So impressed by this bike, it's easily the best I've ever ridden and mine is still nearly bone stock. I have the Ride 22mm clamps on my bench to install, Ride link on order, and FMF Ti system in the mail (not anodized though, while I like the blue look on my YZ I don't like it on other bikes). Have a fiber plate to replace the judder spring too when I get around to it, though I don't really mind the feel as is. Little spongy but not bad, kinda emulates the play you get in a normal cable.

After I got my preferred (1 1/8) bars mounted up, the layout felt great. Super flat and easy to move around on, and actually somewhat similar to my YZs (more so than other bikes I've tried in the last few years), except it's even thinner. Which is the big reason why I didn't go with a YZ450 - too fat. The KX is crazy skinny and feels very light on the track and in the air.

I hated the stock levers when I got the bike, but my back-ordered ASV levers are taking so long that I'm starting to get used to them.

Anyway, love the bike. I absolutely made the right choice, for me at least.

Has anyone put the torque drive rekluse into the bike?
If so what are your thoughts?

I am about due for a new clutch and am torn between the Torque drive rekluse for $350, a full hinson clutch, or just an oem clutch plate pack with stiffer springs and removing the judder plates.

what are your thoughts and experiences?

So I played with some suspension settings last weekend and I’ve got it feeling prettt damn good, good enough that I don’t think I’m going to need valving work. Started with some fat guy springs to keep my big ass up in the stroke, then played with outter chamber oil height. I started at 375cc but quickly learned that was too much especially since the heavier springs take up so much extra room in the chamber. I backed it down to 325 and now we are money. Ditched those goofy 7/8 bars for 1 1/8 with my favorite bend and added some Arc levers for good measure. Really liking this bike

I put the Rekluse Torque Drive clutch pack in my 2019. I bought and installed it on my 2016 KX450F and one week later bought the 2019. It works very well. More positive engagement and bites harder from a stop. No fade what so ever. I only put an hour on the stock clutch and it engaged differently.
