If you wanted to try it while riding but not be hard on your engine, ride up to third gear on dirt, then pull your clutch in and downshift to first, let your clutch out slowly, if your rpm's start to rise into very high revs then immediately pull your clutch in, you have a normal clutch. If when you slowly let your clutch out and your rpm's don't go above mid range then it's a slipper clutch. In that case you can be in third gear, pull in your clutch, downshift to first and just dump the clutch out. The rpm's won't go above mid range. It's exceptionally fun when your approaching a slow turn and dump the clutch in a low gear, no high revs or wheel hop, just dive in and punch it.

Thanks for the responses....was hoping for something more conclusive like a digit in the vin number. A bit much to expect I suppose. Will try the engine braking test on tomorrow's weekly ride. This will be the 3rd time out on it and I haven't noticed anything different over a normal clutch so far.
Thanks

Yeah, that too, it's got 3 springs instead of 6.
just not your typical 6 springs...
. when you take the cover off, you see 3 springs. I was trying not to get into to much detail.mutanthillbilly

Rekluse clutch?
I have an 07 -300ec. I decided to put a rekluse clutch in it and was told that Rekluse does not make the Pro model for this bike- is this correct? Will the clutch for another bike fit it? I have been told not to waste my money on the cheaper model. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Rekluse clutch?
I have an 07 300ec and want to put a Rekluse clutch in it. A dealer told me that Rekluse does not make the pro model for this particular bike. Does anyone know if this is true? Also- I have been told not to waste my money on the standard model-- is this true? Any help?

One of the reasons I asked the question in the first place was because if mine had the slipper clutch then the rekluse is a no no without buying the clutch centre for a standard clutch. As for the standard Rekluse...I installed one in my WR450 and it made the bike almost rideable in the tight stuff. The pro model is a new addition to the range I think so most people will have the standard one anyway and I think they are a worthwhile addition to any bike.
With the rides I have done so far on whatever is inside the case have been great so changing it is no longer a priority
