Rekluse auto clutch review
I just installed a Rekluse clutch on my 2014 Ultra Limited. I raced motorcross for many years and have had Rekluse auto clutches on two race bikes. I wanted to clear up some misconceptions of what it does for the bike. First your clutch is still there same as always and has the exact same feel to it. You can rev it up and dump the clutch and do a burnout if you wish. It only releases at idle, so when sitting at a light no need to hold the clutch and just a little throttle it starts moving the bike, this is a very smooth transition, easy to use. This is a set and forget setup that doesnt need tweaking constantly, it just simply works. On the dirt bikes it plays some very important rolls, one is that if you crash it keeps the motor from stalling and allows you to jump back on and go, also hard brake jabs wont kill the motor either. Its impossible to come off the line wrong also, you simply can not stall it taking off. For the street bike it has many reasons that you could want it. Parades or any stop and go traffic this makes it a one handed operation without any effort. Taking off from a stop on a uphill grade is made very simple, and for me manuvering or making tight turn is a parking lot is easier. I love the fact that its there when you need it but doesnt change anything that your use to, in fact if you were to ride it without knowing it was installed you would notice nothing different except you can let go of the clutch while sitting still. If you try one you may find its actually a performance mod and less of a beginners gadget to help someone learn to ride. In motorcross most of the winning leaders use these. I love mine, and I wont dread long parades anymore. Just my two cents - hope it helps.

t all. If that is the case, I would couple the Rekuluse with this http://www.pingelonline.com/prodcat/...d-shifters.asp
edit: Sorry, Hadn't seen the posts about auto clutch. If it doesn't require using the clutch to shift then that sound like the solution.
edit2: Just read this on the auto clutch site...Do I need to keep the clutch lever?
EFM recommends you still to have a manual clutch lever. You can still use the clutch lever for shifting, but with 1 finger pull for normal shifting rpms.
I couldn't find where it said you DON'T need to use the clutch to shift but I may have missed it.

Dear all
Thanks a lot for all your inputs.
Your suggestions of looking into products of Rekluse and EFM makes me very optimistic again and I'm happy. Looks like you solved my problem and will contact them next week already.
Hope to see you on the bike again. Would love it.
Regards, Rolf

I know a few folks who are using this or something similar

They'll sit in traffic while in gear with their clutch completely engaged and the bike won't move until they give it some throttle.

Yep. I run the EFM Autoclutch with no left arm at all!
I eliminated the lever altogether.

I'm reading all descriptions about Rekluse and EFM, but I still can't read (and understand as technicians) how the clutch would release during change gears up and down. The clutch can only release if the we would have less than 800 rpm.
What does the gear box think about this gear changes ?
Does anybody had a chance to test both products and is able to compare ?
