I am running an EFM clutch on my 02 Vrod and I love it. I had a stroke about 4 years ago and up until about a year ago, I couldn't use my left hand. Now I can and I am in the process of buying my first clutched bike in over 5 years, which I am so excited about. BTW the Vrod is up for sale and it also has a Quickshifter installed on it. For those that don't know, you can basically shift through the gears with no clutch and throttle wide open. Fun as hell!! If anyone is interested in bike, let me know.

EFM Auto sucks
I have an EFM Auto clutch in my Softail custom and it will not let me shift gears when racing it as soon as it goes over 3500 RPMs you can pull the clutch in and shift gears and it doesn't shift until the RPMs come back down and then you can shift is that how this works I've called the guy in Ohio several times and he tells me you can shift without the clutch choosing the neutral in between each gear but once the RPMs go above 3500 4000 RPMs it will not shift is anybody sure on how this clutch works even the guy that makes it can't get a straight answer from him they say you can drag race with them in his website how do you drag race if you can't use the clutch to shift gears at high RPMs makes no sense to me

Not sure about that brand, but you should look into the Rekluse clutch. www.rekluse.com Its on my mod list, down the road. Also a lot stronger clutch in terms of torque capacity. There are several videos around. Motocross guys use em too.

I had to readjust my Rekluse Auto Clutch no less than 14 times in 37 months of ownership on my 2015 Road Glide CVO. It finally needed to be replaced 2 months ago at 53,240 miles on the Rekluse.
I’m back to running my OEM clutch which had only 10K miles on it before going with the Rekluse up in Daytona during bike week in 2015.
I’ve called Rekluse early on about the many adjustments I went through and was told to keep the RPMs above 2,400 RPMs. This didn’t help much. The hydraulic clutch adjustments weren’t hard to do, I just got very proficient doing them even in parking lots.
The Rekluse was great when it didn’t need adjustments which became a pain in the backside doing them so often.
I’m approaching 70K miles on my Road Glide, if I continue to own it I’d like to install the EFM Auto Clutch next since they claim no adjustments will ever be required.

I know this thread is a few years old but I was curious if you had given the EFM Clutch a try. I had the same issue you did with the Rekluse Clutch. It nearly got me killed when the clutch started slipping and got stuck in 4th gear when I was riding the badlands in the rain. It was great when it worked but towards 10K miles it needed to be adjusted every other time I rode it seemed. I am about to purchase an EFM clutch to give that a try. I have a disability that prevents me from using an OEM clutch so the EFM clutch may be my last chance to keep my Harley.
Im still trying to find out from any Harley owner that has the EFM Auto-clutch. However in the meantime should EFM attend the Daytona Beach Bike Week or Biketoberfest, Ill jump on it there.
