We are seriously considering the EFM setup, looks like it could be just what I'm looking for. Pricey..yes, but what would you spend to keep the wife happy and the bike running in top form?
Some things to be aware of if using an autoclutch setup
If you park the bike while it’s in gear, it can roll on an incline since the auto clutch is not engaged. I need to come up with an easy way to set the front brake, which shouldn’t be hard to do. Several people have suggested wrapping an inner tube around the front brake to hold it.
Because the bike will roll when parked in gear, it’s easy to believe it’s in neutral when it isn’t. It’s important to always make sure it’s in neutral before starting so it can’t take off on its own, especially if you’re using a choke.
Inability to push start the bike if you find yourself with a dead battery.
