My son had a ring failure in his 125 that took out the cylinder. So I pulled the motor to send to Eric Gore for a yz 144 treatment. While it was out I decided to paint the frame. Got it to this point last night.

I swapped 3 clutch friction discs and steels because my clutch was slipping. Changed the oil and it's much better now.

I put a new clutch in my boys 85 and I am waiting to get my bike back from having the rear shock rebuilt. I blew the seal out of it while out pre running my loop for the last race.

Excited to get my new "tube" installed for the race this weekend. I got a front flat last weekend and I don't want to deal with it again.

I heard I heard getting one of those installed is like wrestling an anaconda. Let us know how it goes.

Fronts are easy. Rears are a little harder but not that bad when you use the proper technique and have a lot of tire irons.

Sitting here looking at a Rekluse z-Start Pro for Harrison's CRF150RB and thinking it's going to go in it today sometime. He doesn't want one because he thinks its important to learn how to use a clutch which I totally agree with him. The thing is, I am amazed at how well he is riding that thing as it sits so I think he more than has the clutch down. Last Saturday we took one of my friends boys who has the same bike with a Relluse I'm it and everything just looked so much easier. The 150 has tall race gears and that makes the tight stuff a ton harder with race gearing so the reality of it is, all his future bikes will have them so I think it's going in today and if he doesn't like it, I'll pull it out and sell it

I have a Z-start pro and I still use the clutch. My left hand just has such a habit of clutching that it falls back into its normal routine. I still love it for the times that I would have stalled or lugged too low. Just tell him to ride as usual with it

What is the best wearing clutch? I need a new one.
I think the rekluse introduces a lot of heat into the clutch pack so I need a more durable one this time. I think the rekluse is fine.

CRF150RB Rekluse zStart Pro
Put the zStart Pro Rekluse in today. Took me roughly an hour and a half but I did an oil change on both the gear box and engine. It's more work than the big bikes because it doesn't have a seperate clutch cover. You have to drain the coolant, pull water pump cover, kick starter and rear brake lever to pull the case cover off. I went with the medium RPM soft engagement. That's what his buddy has on his. We will see how he likes it after two whole days of trail riding in St George

Well I stripped out the threads on my old fuel tank's petcock threads, so I bought a "desert tank" (almost twice the fuel capacity)
I haven't installed it yet but it sure should be a nice peace of mind. I have ran out of fuel twice on the trail with my old tank down in Moab. And came uncomfortable close several other times.

I put a new air filter in today as well as gear oil. Took 10 minutes total but oh my goodness did a new filter wake the bike up. So fast. Got me really excited for this weekend.
