Does anyone make a slipper clutch for 2007 klx250s'? I want it to make backing my bike in easier.

 

Where do you back your bike into that putting it in Neutral doesn't work? I don't see the need for a slipper clutch on these bikes.. Unless you know something I don't!

 

You must not understand, neutral is not a substitute for a slipper clutch.

That said, I think you will have an igloo in hell before you find one for a dirtbike of any kind. Rev match is your friend.

 

Well he said he wants to "make backing my bike in easier"... What does that mean?

And I know that slipper clutches are designed to slip on decelleration when the engine braking would have slowed you down - the slipper will slip so that the engine braking is not as abrupt. Well that's one use..

I just don't see why it would be needed on a tiny 250 thumper.

 

Yes thats correct how they work.

I also agree it would not be needed on a 250 thumper or any dirtbike really because on dirt the tire can just slip instead.

Problem is he made his into a motard & wants the slipper for track use.

"Backing it in" refers to taking a corner. Shifting from any gear down to neutral for a corner would not work at all was what I was saying because thats what I thought you meant.

 

Ahhhh..It all makes sense now..
I am not up on the motard lingo and to me "backing it in" meant he was having trouble backing it into his garage or something.. hahahaa.. I dunno.. It's early and I partied hard last night sooooo...

And yah, in that case I think just practicing with rev-matching is your best bet.. A slipper clutch might be more of a band-aid... Bikes are real easy to rev-match to me - just go by sound, never even look at the R's. I've been racing cars since I was 17 though so the whole clutching and rev-matching thing came second nature when I got on a bike..

Good luck, practice makes perfect

 

I know how to rev-match but you don't do it when you back it in. You modulate the clutch and rear brake in order to break the rear tire free. With a slipper clutch I wouldn't have to modulate the clutch - only the rear brake, thus making it easier to back it in.

There are slipper clutches made for dirt bikes; one of my buddies has one in his CRF450 motard. Does anyone know if someone makes one for our bikes?

Where do I order the slipper clutch on their site? Didn't see anything.
