Hey, Bird.

You covered this before, but I misunderstood one other post so others may have, too. To restate: I think the price is $895 before the core charge... which would be a total expenditure of $595 after the core return/$300 core refund. Correct?

I think a lot more people like me would consider a total outlay of $600, but probably not $900. Just tryin' to help Revloc sales here a bit by clarifyin' the "Bistro Math"...

Thanks,

Artoo

Talked with Alan in revloc and he told me dyna ring will be out in the market 3 weeks from now and the revloc LT 3 months after. Asked for weight details for shipping cost, Dyna ring is 2lbs, revloc LT 4 lbs and standard
revloc 10 lbs.

First the ONLY Revloc clutch available for the WR250R is the Standard Revloc that lists for $895 of which $300 can be recovered once you send in your old parts. In other words $300 of the $895 is a core charge.

The Magura LHRB kit is and aditional $235.

He chaged me $10 Shipping and handeling.

The clutch appears to be excellent and from what I've read - totally bullet proof!

The brake works fine but the installation requires MAJOR grinding of the housing for the OEM light switch and lesser grinding of the adjuster knob on the Magura master cylinder to just BARELY fit. You then have to cut the mirror part off of the OEM clutch bracket to used it (or get another mirror).

I haven't used the LHRB enough to make a judgement on its "value" I think it is mainly important in slick down hills or tight woods. I got it to match the similar set up I have on my KTM - so I'd just have one system for both dirt bikes.

You should probably go with the clutch first and can add the brake later. By then there may be another master cylinder that doesn't have the interference problem.

I bought direct from Revloc. Alan is the man and is VERY helpful and knowledgable.

Would be nice if you could post a picture on what you have done with the light switch housing and the adjuster knob.

edit; removing some fluff.

My Revlock has been totally reliable for ~ 1,000 HARD miles. This model is totally bulletproff and requieres NO adjustment of special maintenace.

looks like revloc is gone now. taking out some verbosity.

It is fine on the street but not really an advantage (except maybe when doing slow speed manuvers like U turns, etc. where it makes slipping the clutch easier). Where it is a significant advantage is in the slow tight stuff where you can just forget about stalling or shifting and on hard rough climbs where you can just stick it in 2nd and pretend it's an automatic transmission.

BigBird,

Thanks very much for the info! Sounds like "da' bomb"!

The revloc LT comes with the left hand brake levers. Which means you can control your rear brakes with your feet or your hands, like riding a BMX bike. Have not tried it yet, but I'm sure to get one for my x'mas gift to myself. Hope its available by then.

'bout how much do they cost?

That's awesome, I'd totally buy one of these, (would be a big help on those lame steep hills in Seattle and a few other places) the misses isn't exactly good at the whole shift thing.

I spoke with Alan today. Super nice guy and very informative just as others have said.

Alan said that they are once again testing the DynaRing clutch on a couple of WRR's. They aren't selling those widespread yet for the WRR's until they have some more miles on them to prove them out.

It sounds like the newest version of the DynaRing (currently being tested) is working well so far..

I went ahead and ordered the Original Revloc clutch version. Sounds like it will ship in about a week!

I'll return my basket and other parts after that for the core charge refund. So the outlay is $895 now with $300 coming back to me after I get the core parts back to Alan.

I coulda' obtained a small discount going through another good company who operates as a dealer for Revloc, but Alan said the core charge is simpler this way. He said he'd give me free shipping on it. Much appreciated!

Chofilena,

Count on it!

-feet

They seem like a good company to deal with - I emailed them a few times on the progress with the Dyna ring and they're good to reply.
How many companies bother to let customers know how a product in development is getting on
Looking forward to getting my hands on this.

Alan must have shipped EXACTLY when he said he would! Received this today... goin' out to the dungeon to install it now..

The only PITA: Winding that add on spring onto the lower end of the clutch cable. My hands are too big to fit into that area.

Otherwise, easy installation and the gap or lash or whatever ya' call it was set perfectly at .045".

I had no idea it would be this much fun! Too cool.

My seat is on the way to CA to be refitted by Seat Concepts. So there I was tonight ridin' all over my yard like 'joe trials rider' doin' burnouts in the garage and wheelies over stuff.

Anyway, hats off to Alan! He shipped EXACTLY when he predicted and it was an easy bolt on.

TIP: Like others, I was able to get the clutch cover gasket off in one piece. Sort of. It left behind a fair amount of gasket at each bolt hole. I could have glued it, but had ordered in 3 extra gaskets ahead of time. They're cheap. So the tip is: Get some gaskets or glue it. You decide.


Only concern: I'm probably gonna be ridin' places I shouldn't be! Well, I've got armor to protect the artificial parts, etc...

So how do you find it? Does it give the same power when you pop the throttle. Will you also be installing the left hand rear brakes?
