This is without a doubt the most professional, complete, straight forward, clear well produced “how to” video I have EVER seen. Wow! It is why I am going to buy and install Rekluse. Hey QQ: I have a Husqvarna FE350. I imagine the install would be the same as this KTM. Yes? Oh and thank you.
Hey Robert, thank you for watching and the kind words. Yes, the install is the same. And if you have any questions, the Rekluse technical help is first rate. Don't hesitate to call them. 208-426-0659
I don't even have a bike and I really enjoyed watching this. I've always had a high regard for KTM, just seeing the quality of hardware, and other little details, now even moreso. I need one !
EXCELLANT video. Beauty supply shops sell plastic squeeze bottles with a flip up nozzle. They cost a few dollars and never spill brake fluid. I use them for all different fluid situations. Great job on that install.
Why doesn't Rekluse include the clutch holding tool with the kit? Also, why is it not available to purchase on their website? The most difficult part of this install looks like will be acquiring a Rekluse clutch tool.
Excellent video! I will be installing my CX next weekend and I will use this video. What about the 10 launch "Run-ins" that Rekluse says must be done to finish the install.process?
One of the best instructional videos I have ever seen. Thank you! You've also convinced me that this is above my pay grade. I'll be taking my 350 XCF-W to the dealer :)
Hey man, if you didnt take it to the dealer yet, I’m here to tell you this is a very simple task. Just time consuming. As long as you have the tools he has in the video you’re more than capable with this video and instructions on the side.
Well, in this case, Austin from Rekluse walked in the door of our shop which is across town from Rekluse and we turned a camera on. Sure, you should soak your plates in oil prior. For the time we had available, this is what we could do.
Any experience or suggestions on the auto disc springs or pressure plate setting when running a modified ECU? 2020 KTM 500 EXC-F six day. I am running an Athena GET ECU and exhaust end cap. Installing Rekluse radius cx and wondering if I need to change anything on the Rekluse to handle the little extra power?
Do y’all have any experience with the RFS engines? I have a 05 and I’m trying to put a Z Start pro in and I’m having problems and the instructions aren’t clear at all
Hello from Greece. I just bought a gas gas 350 an a recluse. I installed it but when I m trying to find the starting points in the slave cylinder it’s all the same. It has no resistance. Can y help me!
You said an eighth of an inch at the end and it looked like when you turned the throttle the weight of your finger pushed the clutch like half way in? Looked like yours moved about an inch or so
It will slip, to 1-prevent stalling of engine when you lock the rear tire, 2-no need to shift gears or use clutch in harder sections of terrain, 3-smoother starts on hills. Bad thing, 1-transmission won't hold on hills to keep bike from rolling, Disclaimer: I don't use one so these are just the things I've gathered from talking with a few fellow riders who do use them that I would consider benefits or problems.
No more hand clutching.... You just shift the foot lever and the Recluse does the feathering for you, even in first gear. Just twist the throttle and go. No hand work required.
Why? If you are installing the clutch in a bike with good dampers, use them. If they are worn out, you needed to replace them anyhow. All that would do is increase the price of the kit for something you might not need.
The modern Rekluse can still be controlled manually. It feels exactly the same and behaves the same as the stock. But when you come to a stop in gear it disengages seamlessly. It's a very nice piece of kit.

Those settings were spot on for me 🙌
Thank you I could not have done it without you! Having this video by my side ensured a fun and trouble-free install
Great! Thank you for watching and commenting. RIDE MORE!
Thank you for making this and sharing. Looking forward to installing this
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, what a great vid, no chatter just straight instruction!
Thank you! Glad you found it useful.

Thank you very much for watching.
Great video ! My rekluse arrives tomorrow and I’m fully prepped for the install. Thank you !
Outstanding! Thank you for watching.
Like this guy i love when a tutorial is made. Big thanks.
Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to make it for everyone!
Our pleasure! Big thanks to Austin from Rekluse for letting us point a camera at him for a bit.

We have forwarded your feedback to Rekluse.
Awesome tutorial. When the time comes, this will be the video for install without a doubt
Thank you for watching. Glad it was helpful.

Thank you for watching. Glad it was helpful.
Great video!
Thank you! Appreciate you watching.
pro tip: always grease coat your paper gaskets. guaranteed seal and they come away later without sticking.
True story
You should’ve put the new plates in the bag of oil before you even started the job.

Highly recommend calling Rekluse's tech line. Those guys have crossed all the scenarios and can get you squared away.
I'm about to install in a '19 XCF 350. What would be the best clutch oil to buy? Rekluses or ktm's etc? I can't seem to find this info anywhere. Thx
Either are excellent oils that meet the recommendations from Rekluse.
Do y’all have any experience with the RFS engines? I have a 05 and I’m trying to put a Z Start pro in and I’m having problems and the instructions aren’t clear at all
We highly recommend calling them at (208) 426-0659. Their tech support is excellent.
50ftlb for centre nut? Thats alot looser than the factory setting??
Hello from Greece. I just bought a gas gas 350 an a recluse. I installed it but when I m trying to find the starting points in the slave cylinder it’s all the same. It has no resistance. Can y help me!
We highly recommend that you reach out to Rekluse directly. customerservice@rekluse.com
Great video! Question: Is an impact wrench required, or would a box end work on the big center nut (forget the name...)?
An impact wrench is not required. A Box end or a socket wrench will work fine.
About to install a radius cx and wanted to know if the motorex oil recommended for my ktm 500 exc is ok to use with the rekluse.
Yes it is. It works great.
You said an eighth of an inch at the end and it looked like when you turned the throttle the weight of your finger pushed the clutch like half way in? Looked like yours moved about an inch or so
Depends if you are watching the gap at the perch or the end of the lever.
Which clutch holding tool and where to buy for Radius CX in 2020 FE501?
Thanks for video.
Bike rolls backwards at idle after installation?
Yes it rolls at idle like you have the lever squeezed in.
The clutch is disengaged at idle.
Is the o ring in the case of the motor on the 500 excf 2020 not the cover
My cx comes with 1 clutch cover bolt to exchange with oem. 2019 ktm
Is this application exactly the same for a 2018 KTM 450 SXF?
95% certain it is. But call the Rekluse tech line to make sure. 208-426-0659
What is the benefit of this Rekluse clutch ? Why is It called "auto" ?
It will slip, to 1-prevent stalling of engine when you lock the rear tire, 2-no need to shift gears or use clutch in harder sections of terrain, 3-smoother starts on hills.
Bad thing, 1-transmission won't hold on hills to keep bike from rolling,

Thanks guys !
The Recluse should come.with new.dampers , are they kidding?
Why? If you are installing the clutch in a bike with good dampers, use them. If they are worn out, you needed to replace them anyhow. All that would do is increase the price of the kit for something you might not need.
@UPSHIFT_ONLINE That's exactly my point . It's $1300.00 for my year KTM and that's the 3.0 kit , that is ridiculous!
Chris is doing the pee pee dance.
a rekluse eliminates the advantages of a hydraulic clutch i'd imagine.
The modern Rekluse can still be controlled manually. It feels exactly the same and behaves the same as the stock. But when you come to a stop in gear it disengages seamlessly. It's a very nice piece of kit.
Cmon guys. Save all that mess and reverse bleeds the clutch fluid. In fact do an update video on it because the method you're showing is a disaster.
You are welcome to do it any way you like. Thanks for watching.
@@UPSHIFT_ONLINE it's a good and interesting guide. Just made me wince watching all that clutch fluid leaking every where.👍
It’s so much easier to back bleed the clutch system with a syringe.
Also a valid way to do it.
Thumbs down for the annoying adverts.
