What are these things?

[TJScott]

Ive been into motocross my whole life, so I have no idea what people are talking about when they say duneable override and lockout clutch, and all of that stuff. what is the idea behind these things?

duneable override is a transmission set up so that you can shift under full power without the use of a clutch. you can also downshift a duneable, unlike a standard override.

 

a lockout is used to lock the clutch out and keep it from slipping when the bike is under full power.

 

lockouts without a duneable or standard override generally dont shift very easily since the lockout wont allow the clutch to slip.

 

youll find lockouts and overrides most common on drag bikes.

 

some use them on dune or trail bikes, but its far less common.
