I spoke with Marissa at REKLUSE this morning and she stated they may have one available for the 1200 Super T by the end of the year - make some noise and let her know we want one MarissaM@rekluse.com
Please do not start this rumor. 100% false. Rekluse is not going to have an auto clutch anytime soon for the Super Tenere. It's just not worth it when there are other ones available for the bike.

I have been using Rekluse clutches for many years on a few different bikes. They require a lot of maintenance, adjustments, and ongoing replacement parts to keep the clutch pack in shape. And auto clutches are extremely hard on the baskets. So I would have to think really hard if it is worth the hassle.
For our type of riding it's not needed at all. The Rekluse is made for really hard core/nasty off road terrain such as rock crawling and those trails that require a lot of clutch use. It's a great product. I currently have it on my Beta. In fact the only real issues with my Beta have all been clutch related. I kind of got lazy and ran both my Core clutches to the bone until they were not working anymore. I'm on my 3rd set of plates, second clutch basket, and third Core clutch pack at only 300 hours. Since maintaining it (and not riding as harsh trails anymore) it's lasting a lot longer. But this requires teardown at no more than every 50hrs, checking the teflon pads and replacing as needed.I'm confused....why would I want an auto-clutch? Not critiquing, just asking.
Please, in all seriousness, explain what you mean by that.[/QUOTE][QUOTE="ballisticexchris, post: 374440, member: 2801

Would they be that labor/material intensive if NOT driven like your Beta? I've never driven a dirt bike, but I've done plenty of cone courses....constant clutch work. Wonder how it would work on those. But, you're right, I wasn't seeing the advantage for me....and now I know the "why". Thank you.....As you can see these clutches are not the best thing since sliced bread as some would have you believe. Very labor intensive to keep them in shape when compared to an OEM clutch pack.
Under normal trail riding conditions Rekluse clutches are very durable and long lasting. The product rears its ugly head when you are in "survival mode" and letting the auto clutch do all the work.Would they be that labor/material intensive if NOT driven like your Beta?

Same question I've asked about auto transmissions in cars/trucks for the last 40 years. Why would I want one? I don't, but plenty do for some reason I will never understand.I'm confused....why would I want an auto-clutch? Not critiquing, just asking.
Oh I understand. It’s harder to text and drive with a stick shift in traffic.Same question I've asked about auto transmissions in cars/trucks for the last 40 years. Why would I want one? I don't, but plenty do for some reason I will never understand.
If you're unfortunate enough to live in an area with a lot of stop and go city traffic or traffic jams and you are in first gear a lot, it can be a real labor saver for your clutch hand.I'm confused....why would I want an auto-clutch? Not critiquing, just asking.
