Are you trying to turn your bike into an automatic? An auto clutch might be the way to go. There are a couple of different companies that make auto clutches including EFM (which is what we used on this bike) and Rekluse. Do auto clutches ride the same though?
Did you know that your ape hangers handlebars might be illegal?

I remember as a little kid, 60 years ago, the first motorcycle my dad taught me to ride was a Honda 50 with no clutch but had 3 gears. I think that is where this type of setup started. Great to see someone finally did this with more bikes. Thanks for sharing. Take care and God bless you all.

AICS USA We had a Honda 50 also, all the other bikes were broke down one winter (South Dakota) so I took the Honda 50 out riding in the snow. 6' tall 180 pound and I had a blast. We also had a Suzuki 55 (I can't find that model any where) that had an automatic just like the Honda.

One of my favorite channels to watch, I'm so looking forward to buying a bike again (when money presents itself). I used to ride off-road when I was younger, then bought a Honda Rebel 450 in my thirties as a starter but soon figured out down the line that I couldn't ride due to a work injuries sustained by wear and tear on my back. Now in my forties and have had spinal surgery, I feel that urge that never went away, that dream of just going for a rip.

Its not exactly the same as the rekluse clutch, but no two manufacturers make the same transmissions regardless... The one used in Asia is a rip off of an old Honda semi automatic transmission from the 50's, so not the rekluse but close in principle.

@skoVBA2 4 года назад

For those wondering how it works and rides I have one in my (just stolen this week) 2018 sv650. The one I had was a rekluse. When you put it in gear it wont stall, engagement to shift is min 2500 rpm ideally in the 4500 or above. In order to shift you have to blip the throttle in order to get a smooth shift, it works the same on the down shifts. It takes a bit to get used to and get the timing right. I'm now looking at the efm because they dont make a rekluse for the bike I wanna get but others that I've talked that have used both say it's very similar. I have to use one since I lost the use of my left arm. Watch out for those false neutrals during break in. I'll try to post some vids sometime that show me riding with it.

@amp2amp800 2 года назад

Cool. But its not really automatic right? You're still shifting with the foot, right? I'm missing a left leg above the knee, so that would be an issue for me. I currently ride a Guzzi I-Convert (outfit) and have a Honda NC750X DCT as my two wheeler. I should consider myself blessed to still be riding, but I still drool over the new models every year and want to dream about having a wider choice. Hope you get/got your bike back.

@skoVBA2 2 года назад

@@amp2amp800 it's not like the dct, you still shift using your foot, just don't have to depress the clutch, or hold it in. You can look into electric bikes, I test drove the livewire; it's rocket, and there is no clutch or gear shift.

@strong_arm_0072 4 года назад

Hey Sean, I had a Kawasaki KLR 650 that at the dealer I had them install a Rekluse clutch on it. The reason I had it installed is I had a brain tumor when I was 13 months old and it affected my right side. I can use my right arm but pulling in the front break was a no go. I used a hydraulic clutch leaver that I bought that was for a 2008 Goldwing for the front break and I removed the original clutch leaver all together and installed the goldwing clutch leaver on left handlebar and also put the twist grip for the gas on left handlebar. I rode it for eight years. I bought a new Honda CTX 700 DCT ABS in 2015. I moved the gas and front break leaver to the left side and I riding that to this day. I just wish it had a little bit more power and a shaft drive. So the people that are out there that an automatic motorcycle is stupid idea. I say your stupid there are people out there that want to ride like me, oh I forgot i've been riding since I was 10 yrs old.

@bubbadoolittle2812 2 года назад

When you are shifting this rig with out using the clutch lever, you need to synchronize the engine speed with the gear you are selecting. Shifting up, back off the throttle for a quick blip. Shifting down, rev the engine for a quick blip. Lower gears are harder to synchronize and higher gears are ultra easy. Put a little up pressure on the shift lever and when you back off the throttle the gear change is seamless and feels automatic. I like mine though they have become quite expensive!

@SLO-Ride 4 года назад

It uses centrifugal action for the low end and first gear. Don't need the clutch for taking off, but absolutely recommended to use clutch at normal shift intervals, and certainly to downshift. However, as you shift down to first to stop (as you would naturally), you can let the clutch go and remain in gear, as you will not move until the centrifugal parts are engaged by faster revs. One big benefit, other than the complete lack of stall at a stop or taking off, is the clutch lever has a very lightweight pull now, as the plates will assist in shifting.

@ripley_redacted5188 2 года назад

Is it fool-proof? Are you really completely unable to stall the bike - that would be perfect for me ffs. Also, Im unsure about that second part, whenever you're coming to a stop with the centrifugal clutch: would you just downshift immediately to 1st without waiting to slow down inbetween gears then after you let go of the clutch does it just wait to kick into gear when youre down to the appropriate speed? I'm new to all this so any clarification is much appreciated!

Moped style centrifugal clutch while still having the hand clutch. Pretty cool idea, especially for older Goldwingers. Still get to use the clutch while moving so it is the best of both worlds. If you can customize the spring tension to have it launch at the start of the power band....win, as long as replacement slipper clutch plates for it are cheap and easy to install.

If anyone is concerned with the reliability of the EFM Auto Clutch, my brother has an EFM Auto Clutch on his 07 Yamaha Road Star 1700. He bought his bike brand new in 2007 and had it installed. He has cerebral palsy so he couldn't operate a clutch. His only choice for riding for years was ol Hondamatics, which isn't a bad choice (they are alot of fun, 78 CB750A was my first bike) but he always wanted a big v twin cruiser. EFM made that dream come true for him. He has had zero issues with the auto clutch, and or the bike since he bought it. Just does typical maintenance and rides. I've ridden it several times myself. It's alot of fun. Highly recommend the EFM Auto Clutch, or a 1700 road star.

its not a semi auto. you still have to shift the gears manually. a semi auto is when u can choose to let the bike do the shifting or u shift it manually hence the name semi. The only bike with semi auto are Honda with the DCT gearbox and some auto scooter models from suzuki with CVT fake shifts. It makes you feel like you're shifting gears but technically the bike are juz manipulating the CVT. Those mopeds in SEA are mostly auto clutch. Know the difference!

I have a rekluse in my Vulcan S. It is great for stop and go traffic. It is hard to stall out on,but not impossible. In cold weather I have stalled out with it, but I was able to roll on 1st without any clutch modulation. The only complaint with it is that the friction zone is incredibly small. Reason I bring this up is on a twitchy, high revving motor it can cause for a very choppy ride when doing slow speed manuvers. I prefer a traditional manual clutch to the rekluse, but for stop and go traffic a rekluse is quite handy.

@ROT2024 4 года назад

The clutch works quite well however constant adjustments, slipping under heavy load and short disk life are the downsides. Also on the Harleys with MMD reverse the gear will grind more than normal due to the viscous coupling of this clutch is more defined than a manual clutch.

@skoVBA2 4 года назад

Sry bud but that's not true. You put it in gear and twist the throttle, when you want to shift you blip the throttle and shift up. You do the same on the down shift.

@singlemalt1972 4 года назад

According to Rekluse you still use the clutch for shifting as per: "Unless you have mastered clutchless shifting, the clutch lever is still used when shifting gears"

@Yamahog 4 года назад

Sean, that is freaking awesome. Too bad Ridley Motorcycles didn't make it that way back in the day.( so long ago, I forget how many shift points they had.... before HD took them down over the hydra-glide branding issue). It kind'a reminds me of someone on a Burgman 650 doing the sport mode(?) with its DCT. So question(s) here; Does the clutch still operate normally if you want it to, and did you try it on a good hill from a full stop ? I ask, because that's where most stalls occur, ( wrong gear, not enough rev's, etc). Stay safe and ride on. W

@KidKrazz81 4 года назад

So what you was using is a rekluse clutch or an auto clutch? Would you have to change gear for both or just the rekluse clutch?

why does everyone put on those same ugly grips?

Steve Rivera right? They're horrible

@charlie-tangomotors2516 4 года назад

Thank you! They aren't even comfortable.

@craigcook1571 4 года назад

But plug, hahahaha! They cut down on vibration, and also help keep hands from cramping so much on long rides. I had them on my Stratoliner when I had it and loved them. Wouldn't wanna have em in my butt though, THATS NOT MY THING! Lol

@peterrocco2888 4 года назад

That's what you got out of the video, the gripps are crap. VERY Sad

@richardwieder7191 4 года назад

I had those grips on my last bike, they were very comfortable.

I have arthritis and tbh I would just want this for convenience, does anyone know if I can slap this in a Yamaha Vstar 650?

@Jimmy-mt4kn 3 года назад

On most bikes you only need a clutch to start from a dead stop. I shift my Harley up and down without using the clutch. My R1 is even smoother shifting up and down without using the clutch.

I was wondering what your srk cycles rider scale for a 2019 heritage classic. And if you can do an in-depth review on that specific bike and year

The name of the video is how to make any bike auto trans, but the video only shows description of C50 and a ride. So how did you do it??

@Mike-B. 2 года назад

So are you having to manually use the clutch or not? (left hand is not visible)

@Thepeanutgallery666 4 года назад

I really wish that you could use those for dry clutch applications. For instance, Open primary. Otherwise, they seem really awesome!

@jamesmerritt1899 4 года назад

They make them for wet and dry clutches.

@bensharrow 4 года назад

Must be a challenge to park this bike on a slope. Maybe you should carry a wheel chock with you? I think all the full auto factory bikes have a parking brake.

@baloo217 3 года назад

Hi, nice video, i am looking to buy a 2007 boulevard, bit i cant finf an auto clutch for it, can you send me a link please, ill appreciate. Tks

@EvilTwin123 3 года назад

Do you have to be in the appropriate gear for the speed? I read up on it a bit and it's rpm based. Almost like a slip differential. No friction zone. Excellent for suicide shifters and maybe widow maker shifts

@aca192maric 4 года назад

That is the same principal as honda cub c90. Hi from Serbia and motorcycle repair shop Moto Doktor :)

@ericparayno211 3 года назад

It’s meant to automatically engage when starting from a dead stop , but you’re supposed to use the clutch to shift .

@GooberGalactic 3 года назад

Do you still have to use the peg to shift? Or do you just have to squeeze the handle

@sashenden1974 4 года назад

Rekluse FAQ says you should still use the clutch lever for gear changes.

@dawidos117 4 года назад

Rekluse recommends. They say: “Shifting transmission remains unchanged (clutch lever use is recommended for shifting)” and “The Rekluse auto clutch is designed to eliminate clutching when starting and stopping. The auto clutch provides smooth acceleration without loss of power. It also prevents stalling when riding at slower speeds or maneuvering through traffic. You retain full control of shifting and can continue to use the clutch lever if you like”, so it’s pretty good idea, IMO 🙂

@WoodyRides 4 года назад

Clutchless shifting won’t hurt your bike and can be done on any bike as long as you do it right.

@guystreamsstuff7841 Год назад

Does this work on any bike? All clutches are a standard size?

@mrclean9523 3 года назад

Hey, so im eyeballing a 2001 Honda shadow 750 as a project bike and I want to put an auto clutch on it, could I do that with that bike?

@Evanx373 4 года назад

i used to ride an atv like that with no clutch just a shifter. it was great.

@jimmydean5577 4 года назад

I have an 07 Vstar 650 5 speed with only under 2900 miles, i put it up for sale on craigslist, let and offer up for about six months but every time people ask for the engine size then no reply when when i tell them the CCs. I'm asking 2900.00 OBO but i will let it go for 2500.00. Do you sell bikes on consignment?
