P108 RIDE REVIEW I SLAVENS RACING KTM 300 XC-W PROJECT The result? Perfect power for trail riding. It runs cleaner than a stock TBI bike, has more grunt and a more play - ful powerband. I didn't feel the need to change the tuning, but with this setup, you can easily do that. I have never been a fan of auto clutches, but the setup on this Rekluse unit made me a believer. The slave cylinder provides an easy pull, and it feels like a traditional clutch but reduces the chances of stall - ing. I'm not a fan of mixing oil and gas, bikes, so a stock switch was added to enable the use of two pre-set maps. A Moto Tassinari V-Force 4X Reed Valve was fitted as part of the process of removing the stock oil injection system. A Samco Sport Radiator Hose Kit and an Extreme Parts Radiator Fan Kit help to keep the bike cool in tight conditions. An FMF Turbinecore muffler was in - stalled, and a Rekluse Radius X 4.1 auto clutch wrapped up the performance mods for the motor. (Above) Inside Jeff Slavens' Dream Garage. Molecule Motorsports, Bullet Proof Designs, and E Line accessories protect the critical parts on the Slavens project bike. They are all well designed, and we like the oversized Molecule handguards and E Line carbon fork and pipe guards. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>
