http://www.rekluse.com/
MSRP - $629.00
Ease of installation (1Hard - 10Easy) : 8, Many small parts that are a critical for opperation with no extra parts supplied. So dont drop them down the drain! Im sure you can probably call rekluse and get replacement parts if needed
Usefulness of Instructions : 9, Full of usefull steps and nice pictures. Full resolution pictures available on the internet would be a big plus to aid installing them but not needed
Packaging : 9 Cardboard box with the logo on the outside, well wrapped and organized. It would be nice to have a clear window to see this really nice part in the box, comes with some small stickers too!
Disclaimer: This is a general installation of the product and any questions should be referred to the extremely helpful staff at Rekluse Motorsports via their website or at any one of the many offroad events they attend and sponsor! Exact and very detailed installation instructions are provided by Rekluse in every kit and should be installed by a skilled mechanic if you are not comfortable with your own skill level.
The z-Start Clutch is a retrofit automatic clutch for off-road motorcycles and ATVs. The Rekluse Clutch works using centrifugal force to automatically and smoothly engage the clutch. Instead of having to use the clutch lever, you simply control the bike with the throttle. As a rider, all you need to concentrate on is the terrain in front of you--the z-Start manages the clutch operation better than you ever thought possible. The z-Start provides precise control of speed and power in technical terrain, increases cornering speed by maximizing traction, reduces fatigue byRekluse rider Jesse Barstow eliminating manual clutch operation, and virtually eliminates stalls--even after a crash.
For experienced riders worried about losing manual clutch control, we've developed the new z-Start Pro Clutch. With the z-Start Pro, it's like having two clutches in one: all the benefits of our z-Start Clutch, and the ability to override the automatic clutch at any RPM with stock-like clutch lever feel. The z-Start Pro even improves motocross starts, minimizing wheelspin and putting perfect traction to the ground.
Both the z-Start and z-Start Pro come with a 30-day money back guarantee. If for any reason you are unhappy with how the Clutch performs in the first 30 days of use, simply contact Rekluse or your dealer for a return authorization and we will gladly refund your purchase. Additionally, the Clutch is backed by a 1-year warranty against defects in material or workmanship on all Rekluse-manufactured parts.
