Introduction
The Rekluse RadiusX Auto Clutch is an advanced clutch system designed to enhance the riding experience for KTM 250 and 300 2T models from 2006 to 2012. This innovative system combines Rekluse's TorqDrive friction disk technology with the EXP auto clutch disk, providing a high-performance, stall-preventing solution within the framework of your stock clutch. The RadiusX allows riders to focus on their line by preventing engine stalls, while retaining standard clutch lever function with full override capability. It offers increased power transfer over OEM clutches and features on-the-fly external adjustment. TorqDrive friction disks contribute to longer clutch life with reduced adjustment needs over time. Additionally, Rekluse basket liners are included to eliminate basket wear and notching, ensuring durability and consistent performance.

Operating Your Rekluse RadiusX Auto Clutch
The Rekluse RadiusX Auto Clutch is designed to provide a seamless riding experience by automatically engaging and disengaging the clutch based on engine RPM. This prevents engine stalls, especially at low speeds or during sudden stops, allowing the rider to focus on throttle and braking control.
- Stall Prevention: The clutch will automatically disengage when the engine RPM drops below a certain threshold, preventing the engine from stalling.
- Lever Function: The standard clutch lever retains full functionality. You can use it for shifting, feathering, or overriding the auto clutch action as desired.
- Smooth Engagement: The TorqDrive technology ensures smooth and consistent power transfer.
Initial Break-in
After installation, a short break-in period is recommended to allow the clutch components to seat properly. Follow the specific break-in procedures detailed in your Rekluse manual, which typically involve a period of gentle riding without aggressive clutch use.
Adjustment
The RadiusX clutch offers on-the-fly external adjustment. Refer to your Rekluse manual for instructions on how to fine-tune the clutch engagement point and feel to match your riding style and conditions. Proper adjustment ensures optimal performance and longevity.
