What's your status? If you can make it I'll move forward and get my name printed on my jersey as well so we can match. too much bro love for me, you too killed me last weekend. I have family stuff going on but have fun guys Haha! Don't pull the trigger on those jersey prints just yet little guy. I will keep you posted. Really gotta sweet talk the wife after being gone all last weekend.

What an Amazing ride! Here is a little video of me following Brian (BP619) up tree trail.

Taking the wife out to dinner and buying her flowers today! I want to do this ride bad. Pics from past years look amazing!

Tree trail. South of Big Bear city. Thanx for the info Mimi

Looks awesome! What area of Bear is that second video in?

It's pouring in downtown SD. If the rain makes it up to Ramona riding should be awesome tonight!

Sounds like a fun adventure! I want in on one of these soon!

Wow Brian nice find! But you missed out watching the sunset with a bunch of dudes...

Im in on this ride whenever you guys want to do it! Would be so cool to connect from Fallbrook to OC or Corona on dirt!

Looks awesome guys! I would love to join on the next ride you do!

Im gonna try and make this ride. I live in Escondido and only place I know to ride close is Deer Springs. Im excited to learn some new trails! You meeting at gas station by 15 & 76?

Hey all you EXC guys, Just bought a brand new 2015 EXC 500 last night. What are the best mods, and what are the first mods you guys think are a must? Already got the factory skidplate. Im a motocross guy so any tips on setting up a dual sport help!

Anybody headed up tomorrow night?

So I pulled EVERYTHING apart and checked the discs, frictions, everything was correct. I pulled the core apart and checked all the wedges and everything was good. I put it all back together and warmed up the bike and adjusted free play gain. On the phone tech said 1/8-1/4" but clearly in the manual and online it says 1/16-1/8". So I set it at 1/4" and went for a test ride. Got the bike nice and hot and went on some roads where I could really open it up in all gears. No slipping at all. Checked the free play gain when I got back home and its at about 3/8" so thats where I am going to leave it. Oh and you were right...clutch discs are still in good shape! Time to ride!

So I up and bought the Rekluse Core EXP clutch, got it all installed, everything within spec. Went for first ride tonight and it is awesome! However I am having one problem, in higher gears (4th, 5th or 6th) when at higher rpm the clutch slips bad. Anybody had a problem with this? I would re-check your free play gain with the supplied rubber band. Are there any other variables in play like aftermarket clutch lever etc.? Just to verify, you are at the appropriate speed for 4,5 an 6 gear? I re-adjusted the free play gain to 1/8" and felt like that made slipping worse. I experience slipping in the top of the gear at higher RPM's like when im on the road at the top of 4th gear about to shift to 5th or 5th to 6th, it slips really bad and motor revs like tire is spinning but its not. Stock lever and no other variables. I called Rekluse this morning and went over this with a tech, he pretty much asked all the same questions you did. After all basic questions he told me to pull apart the CORE disk and check that all the wedges are seated properly and that there is no damage to the teflon sliders on the wedge. Apparently they have had a few issues where wedges did not come out and engage the clutch causing it to slip. They even had one clutch that was missing teflon all together. So I plan on pulling it apart as soon as I get home today and see if I can get it fixed before the weekend. I just hope my clutch plates are not toast after slipping a few times last night durring my ride!
