I just bought a Rekluse Core EXP from Brent. What is the best basket, the Rekluse or the S3?:confused: I know that the Rekluse Clutch Basket has the rubber shock insulators. Where is the cheapest place to buy the Rekluse Basket?

For S3, see Page 31.

I also saw this thread on converting to Honda friction and steel plates because the stock gasgas plates break when using the EXP. Is that correct, or are the Gasgas plates sufficient?

I just talked to tech support at Rekluse. They say that the Honda plates can be used but they have to mix/match plates to get the same height as the stock GasGas stack. They didn't seem to be able to article a specific advantage to going to the Honda stack. They contend that the GasGas plates are fine but they do recommend going to the Rekluse basket because they contend the maching on the GG basket is inconsistent and the tolerances vary per unit. Is that correct? Does anyone know what the advantage would be convert to the Honda plates, besides maybe lower cost?
 
No matter what you think of your GG clutch, it is still better/tougher than a KTM clutch from what I have seen. The '12 clutch basket is actually very nice, obvious different hard coat. I think they knew the '11 was an issue.

I have been using a Barnett which has the Stainless Steel Inserts. It has been outstanding on the GasGas. Stock GasGas basket with a Rekluse Core would squel and chatter bad (Was the biggest reason the original owner sold the 2011 Race to me with very low time on it). I took the Barnett out of my 05 and put in in my 2011 and chatter disappeared no matter how bad I abuse it. Auto clutch engagement is also very smooth. I happened to buy mine before Gofasters sold them but I see now they have them for a very reasonable price.
 
replaced my 11 GG basket with the rekluse, it was much, much better and was quite. the 13 so far has been fine with the stock basket and the rekluse.
 
I have just installed a Rekluse core exp2.0 and the only Gasgas part to be reused was some of the fibre plates. The Rekluse stuff is looks fantastic and is so well machined it seems a shame to cover it up!

I cant really tell you more at the moment as I have only tried to set it up on a MX track. I think it's set but I will be able to say more after the weekend when I go to an enduro practice track.
 
Rekluse basket

I eventually went with a the rekluse basket on my gasgas. It solved all the noise issues and odd engagement feel. I would go with it over other choices as the rekluse has designed and machined it to go with the core exp. worthwhile upgrade IMO.

The Rekluse seems the way to go.....
 
Thanks for everyone's input! I just bought a Rekluse Basket from Appalachian Offroad, their staff are real nice people!
 
OEM Clutch Baskets come in 40MM and 46MM

Here is an update. I received my Rekluse Clutch Basket today. I also received a set of steel Rekluse plates that will allow me to use the Honda fiber plates. I will try to post some photos later. I had already removed the stock clutch including the oem GG basket. I drilled out the rivets holding the ring gear to the OEM basket. Then, big problem, the Rekluse basket hole for the gg ring gear was too small. The Rekluse Basket hole measures about 40MM while the oem basket hole is about 46MM. I called Rekluse and they are going to machine a new basket and send it to me tomorrow. So, before you order a basket make sure whether you have the 40MM or 46MM basket in your bike. At Motocross Center they require this measurement before they ship your basket, but I hadn't seen any posts about it here on the forum. Has anyone else had this problem?
 
Here is my GG Basket, notice how the ring gear inserts into the basket.

My bike probably has 75 plus hours give or take. The GG basket didn't look bad at all. The fibers and steels were almost at the end of their service limit, but they didn't look too bad. There were marks but the surface was still smooth.

Here is a front shot of the Rekluse Basket and back shot of the GG basket with the ring gear.

The rivets were easy to drill out, just drill of the top, then pop the rivet off with a small chisel.

In this photo, you can see that over 1/2 of the ring gear won't pass through the hole in the basket.
