- A shovelhead with a clutchless suicide shift. This bike is so fun to ride. I didn't think it would work but it works really good. Now you don't have to worry about stopping at a light on a hill. You have a clutch but you don't have to push or pull it in.
Shift it! He’s in a parking lot........ doing 5 mph.... shift it! Shift it!
Funny as hell, had me laughing for a minute there.
Lol
Exactly what I was thinking 🙄
Hahaha glad to see others pick that one up haha
🤣🤣🤣
He got fired that day 🤣
those hidden throttle cables look so clean
Centrifugal clutch. Just like a snowmobile.
Nice set up for elderly riders, pretty slick
Appears the "no clutch" is gonna make burnouts a thing of the past. Personally I like the my Harleys with a clutch and clutch lever....or clutch pedal.
wrong its PERFECT for burnouts and the stock clutch is still there
The road! Take it out to the road. Shift it several times, on the road.
Obviously it has an automatic clutch, a lot of mopeds have centrifugal clutches. If it had no clutch it couldn’t be stationary and in gear.
It's set up like a 3 wheeler or semi auto 4 wheeler. Rekluse and other brands have been making these for a long time I've seen them on many dirtbikes
wrong . The EFM unit attaches to the stock clutch. Its not automatic. It simply disangages the clutch at idle. Uses a system of ball and ramp. centrificel force moves the balls outward on a ramp as the RPM increases and engages the clutch. At idle the balls fall back down its not engaged. Look at the EFM website
That’s so dope !!!!
My ol lady tore the cartilage in her left ankle . Cant ride her sportster . Think we've found the answer .
I believe the newer gold wings are automatic now
Look up Recluse clutch’s. You can thank me later. 😬✌️
@@richardfreeman2639 they are great bikes . She won't ride anything but a Harley Davidson . Her grandparents started Southside Harley in Indy back in the day with the current owner .
She's 3rd generation and stubborn .
Just have her buy a tube-top, braid her hair into one braid...get some marb lights and make her ride on the back of your bike.
You're welcome !!🍺
Poezja w każdym calu.
So Cool....Hoorah!!
Rekluse makes a automatic clutch. My son has one on a Honda CR250. They’re amazing.
Yes. That makes sense. I seen one on a sherco 500 2 weeks ago.
Clutch or no clutch, I really like this bike.
you'll get over it when you ride one.
Nice video and a Thumbs Up !
Thank you buddy.
@@drewneilon3557
You are welcome.
I rarely use my clutch once i'm moving....
Lack of knowledge is why!
@@dcale15 LOL.... surething scooter
lack of knowledge? sure thing scooter? all I see is two dip SHIT millennial trolls who know nothing about motorcycles ...I raced motocross for 20 years and never used the clutch only at the gate to launch in 2nd gear
@@donniebaker5984 Dude Im a boomer, been riding since I was 5. It's why I know how to shift without a clutch once moving.
You must not be riding a Harley. I’ve been riding a long time with a lot of different people and never known of anybody shifting without using the clutch.
It's like a Ridley !
It's like a recluse clutch for dirt bikes.
Centrifugal like a Ridley. What happened to them?
its not centrical the stock clutch is still in use. Its an attachment made for the stock clutch that is centrifical.
Nice bike for sure. They don't call it a suicide shift for nothing though. Pretty spooky to ride sometimes
Especially when tooling along then grandma and grandpa pulls out in front of you going to 🍗 KFC
It’s only a suicide shift of you have a foot clutch.
my buddy has a 100+HP S&S shovelhead crate motor in his '57 hardtail that passes sport bikes on the back wheel ! and yes it has a suicide clutch ...you ought to see him shift it with one hand on the throttle , one hand on the shifter knob , left foot stomping the clutch pedal while speed shifting to 2and gear with the front end still in the air ! down side to it all , he is not a fun person to go riding around town with as he is a cop magnet ..with his constant popping wheelies in traffic and burnouts at every stop light that turns green ..and if a crotch rocket happens to go by ...OMFG its the Indy nationals all over again
bullshit the ZX14 and the Hayabusa both do 186 MPH right off the showroom floor. NO SHOVELHEAD not even S&S is running anywhere near 186 MPH. 100 plus HP? Guess what ? Sport bikes are running 150 HP and more STOCK. STFU about this shovel. It will blow up at 150 MPH if it even gets close to that speed. Shovelhead OMG Im dead! Next your gonna tell us it revs to 10,000 RPM . Sport bikes rev to 13,000 RPM or more dummy. Lets see him road race . he cant lean without scraping the frame and pegs . I have all kinds of bikes Pans shovels. Ironheads. Twin cam. Honda yamaha and triumphs. Choppers and stock rides.
He's afraid of it...🤣😜😂
Oh ok is in gear or nutral ?
It's a chopper it may not have a nutral light, may not be the best thing out there.
It's a jockey shift! No such thing as a suicide shift. Suicide clutch is a foot shift that has the spring removed. Which would have a hand shift or a jockey shift.
Bike still has a clutch. Just works off of rpm to engage instead of a lever/cable. Same principle as a gokart.
Yep
Does it still feel like it grabs real hard if you take off fast?
And is this a kit? Or something custom
@@harleyguy932 it's EFM clutches. A kit. It works good if it probably installed.
If it is a jockey shift, we does he keep hitting the shifter pedal? Plus if you hvae a clutchless bike, unless you only hvae one leg, why make it Jockey?
Shut up.
they are designed to help on the hardest parts of riding a jockey, starting and coming to a stop. you use the clutch the rest of the time
It perfect for hills. I probably would only use it on a hill.
I use to know some hills
Is it a centrifugal style clutch? How does it work internally from a mechanical perspective?
Like a moped
Centrifugal clutch for that sort of application sounds like it would last a very short span of time...
it's only passing 25 horsepower
wrong . They work very well
I've looked into these autoclutches but never saw one in use.
I can’t wait to get 1. i thort u still need a clutch lever to shift
It's like a ridley or snowmobile .
I had one of those glass doorknobs on my garden shed door till today. My wife cut her hand when it broke now I need to find another one , she is ok
It took me like three minutes to find the relevance 😂 Glad she’s ok
She must have one helluva grip..........I hope she gets well soon.
I have afew questions. Its hard to see but it lookslikethe bikeiskick only. How is that working when ustart it up? The others ive seenrequire u to tirn the clutch hub in to start it , then back it off. Please explain!!? Thanks
It's electric start
you only turn the clutch hub to release cylinder pressure after flipping the decompression switches if you have heads that have them
Not true! If the bike is kick only u have to turn the hub in. I spoke with the guy at efm clutch and he told me that. He slso sent a few pictures of brackets hes seen made from the frame to the center of the hub with a handle on them
Also look on here for a video from randys cycle works, he makes the cleanest bracket ive seen
Haaaaaayyyy..exelent
Centrifugal like a go kart LLLLLAME
Taco minibike tech...☆☆☆
Looks like we are witnessing the first variable speed centrical clutch, nope, sorry folks, aint happening. Keep that clutch on your briggs and stratton. However, I did ride a honda 750 back in the day with a 3 speed automatic trans.
I have a Hondamatic . Works great when you have arthritis
Rekluse has had this kind of clutch out for YEARS. Also, the EFM unit shown here is a straight up turd in comparison.
@@ZombieZim713 no it isnt . Dam thing is amazing. If your disabled like me its a great thing.
What’s the left foot lever for?
You can still use the foot clutch if you want.
The rider didn't quite get the concept of what you were trying to demonstrate.
😮
This must have a rekluse in it
How well does this or would it work with a high horsepower 124ci evo...
you could do a balloon in 3 or 4 gear, lots of smoke. more holding power then any stock or after market clutch on the market. EFM makes them for any type of bike
@@efmautoclutch7984 awesome! Thanks for the reply
That's a jockey shifter. No such thing as a suicide shift. Suicide clutch yes. Why? Harley used to have a foot clutch. It was a rocker clutch. Chopper guys removed the rocker pedal and then it was a suicide clutch. No rocker pedal to lock in the clutch so you can't take your foot off it.
How do you do a burnout??? What is sissy pike
😂😂😆
Only clowns do burnouts.
just grab a handfull of throttle dummy. it hooks up instantly. By the way burnouts are fucking stupid . Tires aint cheap .
🍺 😎 👍
I almost bought that before he left to move to the beach I guess he sold it as soon as he got there
No I was just working on it. We were just having fun with it.
Probably a recluse. Or something similar.
Good for someone with a bad hand.
Rekluse clutch?
Yep
@@drewneilon3557 Where do you get Recluse for Shovel. I was told they only made it or Twin Cam.
@@roydidriknilsen2912 I'm sorry it's a EFM
Nice bike, but there's no magic here. Lol
Rekluse?
Yes
No clutch how does the transmission work on this bike then?
funny sound blut blut blut...
This is a beautiful bike, I enjoyed the video. But will never own it nor even accept it as a gift, it has no other purpose than to be looked at.
you mean laughed at
Sounds like lots of slippage.
I don't know personally I'm not feeling that at all
Crispy fried balls..
It’s suicide clutch...jockey shift!
Yes you are correct.
@@JohnLivings I think with in time it has changed back and forth. I will call it what makes everyone happy.
Wow John sounds like you’re butt hurt…and it’s since not sense!
@@JohnLivings Actually John way back they were called side shifters because the shifter actually was on the side of the gas tank. Then when folks took the shifter of the tank and mounted the shifter directly to the transmission with a short throw shifter handle then the term jockey shifter came into play because just as a Jockey reaches down to whip his horse in the withers to get it to move riders would reach down or back to shift the transmission. The term full suicide or suicide shifter is the term used when you have a foot clutch not on a rocker pedal, a hand shifter, no front brake, no front fender, and generally a rigid frame and a springer. Thats what is known a full suicide guys that that just go with the foot clutch and hand shifter adapted the term suicide shifter when in fact hand shift and foot clutch was stock on the early bikes so really nothing new, suicidal, or dangerous about it. My 49 Servicar is full suicide as well as my current ride. Started riding when I was 15 on my 49 and today at age 69 besides the 49 I am riding a rigid with a 131ci motor with a bored out super G with a thunderjet, baker 6 speed with the N1 conversion, handshift, hydraulic foot clutch, springer front end, no front brake, no front fender, internal throttle so no levers or switches on the bars except a 3/8 flush mount horn button on the left and a 3/8 flush mount on/off engine switch on the right. Thunderheader exhaust. Old Bates style headlight with the high beam indicator in the housing and the switch for the bright light in the headlight housing as well. although the frame came with a VIN# on it where I am at and because i built and put the bike together you can 1 time only request a 0 VIN which means instead of registering it as a Special Construction Bike which compels you to have all of the DOT required lights and so forth for the year you are initially registering it in when newly built you can one time only declare the 0 VIN and pick whatever year you want. so in my case 1952 so no daytime running lights, no turn signals, no red and amber side reflectors. Just headlight/high beam, brakelight/tailight and horn. And yes i ride anywhere and everywhere.
In close i would just like to say I am not under 50, I am not a dipshit, and I dont go to Starbucks and at the end of the day wind is wind i build what i want ride what I want just as Drew is doing his bike his taste and the way he wants it. There is always somebody out there who is going to bitch because of a pair of apes, or billet wheels, or a springer or whatever but who cares why would I want to build my bike to somebody elses taste and if you really want to hear bitching build one exactly like the one they have and really hear the bitching volume go up. but honestly John if you are going to make fun of folks for using a different term for a hand shifter and in the same breath call an original stock set up a suicide shifter then would you not be a dipshit yourself for using the wrong terminology yourself? full Suicide is more than just a foot clutch and a hand shift. or would you call a spool on the front wheel a suicide wheel?
@@JohnLivings You're FOS. I'm in my mid 70s. In southern California which is the birthplace of the chopper, we called them jockey shifts and suicide clutches in the 50s. Tell that to the rest of the hipsters at Starbucks.
it sounds like it's drowning
DOWNSHIFTING?
You can use the foot clutch like a normal bike too.
@@drewneilon3557 copy that, thanks.
Its got a pedal on the primary side !!!!!!! I'd say that's a CLUTCH.!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU CANT HEAR THAT BIKE SCREAMING GET THIS GUY OFF ME SOMETHING IS WRONG ,,,,,,,,SMH SOME PEOPLE SHOULD NOT OWN BIKES
I have no idea what I just watched... shift it! And he doesn't understand what the point of the demonstration was....I have no idea why he thru up his hands like ...look ma, I used no hands to use the clutch..... wtf? Lol
Everyone watching is waiting to see the clutchless shift....
Definitely looks like an ironhead
No
Alternator shovel
So posers can pose even more?
so disabled riders like ME can ride with less trouble dummy
Its a chopper
Clutchless? Its called semi automatic theres still a clutch you just cant release and engage it. Semi automatic clutch starts to catch when your rpm is a little past idle .
yeah but that doesn't sound bada$$ed, and to these idiots,that's all that matters
@@edwardgiovannelli5191 true lol
that bike screams "I just blew my 401k cause I just realized I'm getting old and have no life"
It’s not a suicide shift suicide clutch
You get your pant leg caught in that exposed primary belt and you are going to lose at least your pants.
Why do these things always sound like a sack of spanners. That ain't no good noise
They high handlebars look dumb.. why do people think they are cool?
Another tennis shoe biker...lol
Yeah - get some chisel-toed Cuban-heeled HD branded engineer boots, join the Wild Hogs and pretend like you're Arnie in Terminator II
Drag racing clutch. Not new.
drag racing? I though they used a slipper clutch?
The type of motorcycle no fool would take a driving test for his motorcycle license on. Imagine trying to weave through cones on this narrow-gauge tractor. Ugh!
Side note: the mark of an amateur motorcycle rider ... is they drag a foot while making tight turns, like this bozo does.
A real motorcyclist only takes his feet off the pegs when he comes to a stop. It shows discipline and confidence.
Where did I drag my feet. No where in the video do I drag my feet. But thank you for watching. Please like and subscribe 😉
It's an unfamiliar bike that's not his personal ride so don't see a problem putting safety first rather than dropping it. Of course I'm not an expert like you obviously are. 😑
Dude puts his foot down while turning = Some fool who does not know how to ride.
You've already said that. Next
I told to show me where I put my foot down.
But I do like how you keep coming back thanks for your support!! Please like and subscribe.
Another Harley piece of crap!
