[QUOTE="holeshot, post: 1227754, member: 17202"] I have considered a Rekluse for my 125 two stroke and even asked rekluse if they were going to start making them. They said yes (years ago), but I've yet to see one offered on their website. I'm sure the reason that it's not offered is because off the lack of low end torque on a 125 - it negates any advantage the the auto clutch would have. If you had a auto clutch on a 125, you'd certainly need a good overide to make it work. Some thing like a KTM 200 would have enough low end to make it worthy. Don't forget - there are disadvantages to the Rekluse (mainly the inability to bump start it when the engine stalls). This means that when you're going down a long, steep hill and your engine dies, you have to wait until you get to the bottom to kick it back to life. And you have no engine braking on the way down when the motor dies. I have one on my 450 with the override and it lets me do stupid tricks on the trail - things I wouldn't attempt without the the autoclutch. The rear tire sticks like velcro on off cambers and it works great on rocky trails. Normally, a stock geared 450 motocross bike is geared too high (first) for trails, but with the rekluse you can easily trail ride with standard gearing. I'm not sure if it's the best thing for long, horsepower type climbs - maybe a standard clutch is better.The rekluse is built well and doesn't need adjusting much after break in. The original rekluse had tiny screws that had to be removed to adjust it - like working on a swiss watch (a pain). It looks like the new Rekluse Pro has eliminated these teeny screws. I've yet to read a report where somebody installed a Rekluse on 125 - looking forward to yours. [/QUOTE]
