- Update 05-20-19. I have put 140 hours on the bike. The OEM Clutch and Rekluse basket are still working perfectly, no drag at all and starts in gear no problem. I have been changing the oil with Rotella T6 every 2 hours of ride time.
Update 12-30-18. I have put 120 hours on the bike since I installed the OEM clutch and rekluse basket in this video. I still have ZERO issues with clutch dragging and continue to race hare scrambles for AMA District 17.
This video was made 01/15/2016.
The OEM Clutch Kit FIXED all of my issues with the clutch dragging, also I run Shell Rotella T6 oil.
I have put 65 hours on the bike since this video was made, which 90% was hare scramble racing and the clutch still works great.
Update 12/21/17 Just wanted to let everyone know that the oem clutch is still working great a zero clutch dragging issues. I know the OEM clutch is expensive but I have another 70hrs on the bike and it still is working great. 80% of the hours on this bike is race time.
Hope this helps

Unbelievable! Informative, clear, logical presentation AND follows up with the outcome of the fix. What a champion!
Anyway, than you very much for the great info. My EXC has the same symptoms and same dimpled plate kit. I will try factory parts and see you it works. Thanks again.
Thanks for the super positive comment! I hope everything works out for you.
Awesome video from a fellow racer. Guess I’ll drop the money on the oem clutch pack
Well, do you have an update afterwards? Like after you installed the factory clutch
I bought the rekluse torque core manual drive clutch and I have noticed that it does not want to disengage. I have to pull the clutch lever all the way in for it to disengage the gears. Same thing It doesn't want to start in gear. Im wondering if I need to up my change the position from 1 to 2 on my pressure plate
I had exact same experience with oem vs tusk clutch in my 2012 ktm 300 xc-w
Good info. I have opposite issue. Stock ktm clutch dragging bad. Put in new clutch basket and new OEM clutch, lasted 10 hours and dragging again. Going to try tusk clutch and see what happens, glad you put out your review though, it gives perspective. What oil weight are you using?
My 2020 250xc having the same problem .clutch drag at like 25hrs stock clutches
@@gsxrstyle After changing almost everything in the clutch, I went to a Recluse manual slave, and viola, no more dragging.
@@A.Gil1 just sucks the bike is very new and my buddy has same bike and zero drag .I dont want to resort to a rekluse unless I have to ..that's a bit of money
@@gsxrstyle i agree, but I tried everything, the Recluse was my last resort, and it worked. The manual slave is not too much compared to the auto clutch. Keep it in mind if all else fails. Oh I also used the Recluse rubber dampers.
@@A.Gil1 ok good to know thank you for the info will keep that in mind if all else fails
Your video just helped me a lot ! If my 250sx was off, and in gear with clutch pulled in, and you tried to push it, it would try to turn over the engin.. I think I’m just gonna have to pony up and get new basket and clutches..
Noah.Lytle312 How hours omg your bike?
IWORKYOUWATCH hours are irrelevant.. depends more on how you ride it, and maintenance you do. But clutches should last a long while on a KTM
Thanks for the info!
Yep, dragging clutch. You idle mine and it dies. The dealer was out of the stock kit as was RMATV. Ordered up this one. Been on for a couple rides and two races. It was killing me last weekend when I got hung in a mesquite tree! Wish I'd have seen your video before I bought mine. I was about to rip it apart and check the adjustment on the belville washer to make sure its flat. I have a 13 with the slightly different pressure plate and inner hub. Its the DDS set up. Was planning to inspect the clutch basket. It looked good when I pulled the stock one out (It was hammered and slipping at anything over a 1/4 throttle). My next move after inspecting the basket and making sure the tension on the springs was correct was to order up the stock kit. Might just do that and toss this stuff in a bag for a spare! Its a expensive for a lesson if my basket is wreaked.... live and learn.
Im trying to fix the same problem for like a month.I put first it wants to shut down. If the bike is shut down, i put into a gear, press the clutch lever, and i cnt move the bike. I replaced my clutch kit with the oem one, replaced the push rod, Bleed air from the system like 10 times, rebuilt the clutch slave cylinder. the busket and the hub have a veryyyy small notches barely can feel them .
Using the Motorex 10W50 4T oil. KTM 300 EXC 2012.
HELP!!!!
Try atf or mtf ..or plutoline gear 75w ..I had same issues in my trials bike using 10w40 motor oil ..the plutoline light gear 75w sorted it
Good review
hey man, mind sharing the results? i'm having the same issue.
I have a 2021 crf450r. Less than 10 hours on it and my clucth is dragging and quite frankly, I'm pretty fuckin pissed off about it.
I have a 2021 te250i and the clutch has been dragging since new. It didn't bother me until 25 hours when it started killing it down hils
@@KoltFin have you solved the issue?
I have the same bike 250 xc 2013 i cant find oem clutch springs or softer ones i bought bike with aftermarket clutch where can i get em?
Was this the regular or competition tusk?
I would say it was the regular because at the time I bought it there was only 1 option.
Also, I still have the bike and still race it all the time. I have put around 110 hours on it since I replaced it with the oem clutch and it still works perfect. Also Rotella T6 since this video. It sucks spending the money but i hope this video helps.
@@startracing9062 no more drag??
I have 185 hours on the bike now and still no clutch dragging issues. I am still running the same oem clutch that i installed in this video and the rekluse basket. Still running rotella T6 and i change it every 2hrs because that is how long my hare scramble races are. It sucks that the oem clutch is so expenisve but it has lasted 120hrs so far.
how did you get the red bull cover on the shock bladder I think it is called
I just cut the can with a razor and zip tie it on.
I have a bone stock 2012 ktm 350 sxf. clutch drags
Im having this issue with my 250exc. It was jerking forward and stalling before kicking it into first gear. Just installed the tusk kit, its better but still dragging a bit. Frustrated here
Dude Manbro Did you find the cure?
IWORKYOUWATCH put a bunch of money and time into the clutch and still wasnt right, sold bike. On a crf 250l now. And no looking back.
I have the same problem
Does the OEM clutch solve it?
Qijia Cheng yes it did.
Oh thx a lot man, I'll switch back to KTM stock parts
Also you may have better luck with a different brand. My problems were with Tusk which is the cheapest clutch kit they make. Pro-x, Hinson or what ever might work just as good as OEM but you never know.
By the way, I am Jeff Nelson. I forgot to switch accounts when replying to your question. Peace out.
@@startracing9062 I hate it when that happens!
Is this a dds clutch or ds
It is not the DDS clutch.
Did it do the trick??
yes
Still going working perfectly at 205 hours as of yesterday.
Thanks, I gotta Hinson cover I gotta put on anyway, noticed the clutch was dragging .. may be ready for new plates , hopefully basket isn’t notched. Lol
