LaegerEliminator Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Trying to get some input on the idea of using a lock out or a lock up clutch setup. I currently am running a Hinson billet spring loaded basket, straight cut gears, 7 plate Duncan clutch. 3 oem springs, 3 stiffer Duncan springs. Oem pressure plate and hub. ASV F3 lever and motion pro cable with lube. No pancake bearing. Transmission is stock except for modded shift star. My riding is mostly mx then duning. My goal is to find a setup that allows me the best clutch control without wearing out my hand at the end of a moto. Casual riding it is fine, just a bit much for intense riding. I have tried a hydraulic clutch with ok results. Mostly a pain to deal with. Will a lock out or a lock up work for my riding style? I have read that either one will make the tranny harder to shift unless I get the pro mod or an over ride. What's your feed back guys?

trickedcarbine Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 Get the trans cut, run a lock up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted July 20, 2014 Report Share Posted July 20, 2014 I run a wrc promod with a lockup on a ten cub and it shifts better then stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banman1122 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 With a lock up you can't pull the lever in when your in the top rpm range. That's why you need a cut tranny to up shift without pulling in the lever. You'll have to let the rpm drop to pull in the lever to down shift with a lock up and cut tranny. Your mx riding a lock up would not be good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 ^^^^this is not a fact. I can pull my lever in just fine at the end of a pass in high gear max rpm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where that started. On the flip side, it will shift much better with the promod in the same scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jriffe23 Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 While on this topic, im wondering are the direct drive brand good lock-outs. I understand a lock-out is a lock-out but im sure its just like exhaust, one will perform better? Opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I power. Shift a 10 mill cub with a lockup all day. Not sure where the lockups dont shift or you cant pull the lever started either. My bike feels exactly like a stock bike at the clutch lever at all rpms and gears. Seems perfect for a mx bike. There is no difference in feel or rideability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2004LEBanshee Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I have the mattoon. No complaints. Never had a direct drive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2004LEBanshee Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I run all tusk springs with some weight on the fingers. Also an easy pull lever. The pull is pretty light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaegerEliminator Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Is lever pull stiffer at high rpm? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special06shee Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 No. I ran a mattoon lock up on a stock trans and it shifted fine. Level pull had no noticeable change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
