FURTHER COMMENTS Occasionally Clake owners have trouble bleeding the system. It is critical to get rid of every last air bubble. Watch their entire installation vid and follow their tips for removing those last air bubbles. kzread.info/dash/bejne/an-M2a-Embecndo.html A cheap bleeding kit makes a big difference too. Still having problems? Clake have the following tips: Back off all the force balance assistance by winding the Gold Knob anticlockwise just until you can feel some longitudinal play in the adjuster shaft. Then with the reservoir lid on, loosen the handle bar clamp bolts slightly and rotate the lever up about 45 degrees on the bars. Then cable tie the lever to the bars, leave it like this overnight then in the morning cut the cable tie whilst the unit is still in this position. Then pull the lever in slowly about 10mm then release quickly, repeat at least 6 times. OVER 100 FREE ENDURO TRAINING VIDS English not your first language? Subtitles in 30+ languages!

Out of curiosity, what was the basic hydraulic setup you were using before the Clake One?

Ive had one on my 300 for a few years now and i cant recommend it enough, have done the rekluse thing(never again). Clutch control is surgical with this, love it!

have had one on my Xtrainer for a couple years now. Love it. Best mod i've done to the bike.

Been running a clake one for 7 years. Would never run anything else. I have her wound right out (or in?) to 75%. I've found for me, I still maintain the feel, it simply reduces fatigue. I have noticed however the lever does not always return immediately, when riding the most clutch demanding terrain. A worthwhile trade off.

Good to hear, Luke. If it ever became a problem you could probably use lighter clutch springs and just back the Clake off to about 65% assistance.

On the DR650 and many other bikes if u move the actuating arm 1 notch back it makes the clutch initially lighter at the expense of heavier in the final stroke, which suits almost single finger use for fine control and when u need full disengagement u got many fingers there anyway.

It only takes a flick of the lever to get it back to normal starting position and it is good to go. this rarely happens, but it has happened more than once.

One problem I did have though was when I was originally running the clutch on my WR450f with a magura hydraulic clutch conversion. I don't know if it was just that particular setup or what but it would constantly bleed down and require pumping the lever every couple KM of riding and eventually left me with no clutch at all in the middle of a 8 hour sandy desert ride. Ever since putting on my Beta 350rr in 2019 and now Sherco 300 in 2022 it has been faultless and fantastic. Guys in the local riding group regularly ask about it. I've been considering putting one on my Tenere 700 too but I'm not certain since it would require a hydraulic conversion again.

So after spending more than 2000AU$ and it still didn't work, and no answer exept air in the hose etc, I gave up after used more than 60 hours to try make it work, and send it back. The last I heard form Clake was. "I’m very sorry to hear it is still giving you trouble, we will have a look at it when it arrives back here and hopefully find a solution!" They never came back to me with any "solution" and I whasted 2000AU$ for nothing. Sadly to say but I have talket 5-10 others away from the produkt, I'm sure it's great when it works, but customer service is a part of it. That they are sorry, don't give me any money back. BTW I have mention this to you before

Bummer. If it was returned I'd be pushing him for a refund. A few years back they were inundated with orders and their formerly excellent aftersales service slumped. I even emailed the Clake guys to tell them everyone was complaining about no responses and I might have to take my videos down but they just kind of shrugged and said they were trying to cope with the demand. Not a great approach. But apparently it's all quiet again now. Maybe try contact again?

@@crosstrainingenduro I feel I gave them a chance to be reasonable, but they decided not to. There was so many other drivers who tried my bike and was really interested in the product, but i'm glad they didn't buy and then later blame me. Yes, I remember you also had some problems with them, we have talked about this before, One of the times when I was waithing for a reply from Clake, I contact you and you was heliping me. But sadly it seams like they don't care about good customer service. I guess it's just whaste of time to try contact them again. 2000AU$ is a lot of money, but guess Clake need them more than me.

Running Clake one light clutch for about a year. I absolutely love it on my 21' 300xcw. Did have a issue with bleeding the recluse slave cylinder. With a little patience I got it running very smooth>. I'm not sure how accurate the % of pull is. It's lighter there's no question but 50%-70% I'm not so sure.

The lightness seems to vary, Jon. At 75% on my first bike it was just starting to not return properly, as predicted by the Clake guys. Next bike? Not as effective but still good. But one viewer tested his and was getting 80% and it worked perfectly... no return issues.
