Ditto. Ran into him at Rampart and he asked if he could ride with me. We were the only ones there. I warned him, “I’m a newbie. You’re going to be so bored.” He was so patient. Lots of good advice. Great guy!
Sold! Been back and forth between OX and Rekluse LHRB and my Rekluse clutch. The more I see this system and Chucks story, Im sold on it. Placing an order with you guys now. Also another great video! Ive purchased alot thru you guys to build my 300 xcw.
I finally got mine installed on my 2013 300 XCW. It took 6 washers between the pedal and cylinder so it wouldn't bind and stay locked up. Seems to work well now.
Pls tell Chuck to make one for the Yamahas!!, I have the cable one on my yz250fx an love it., Would love to upgrade for sure and support the new inventions. By the way, Chuck is a great guy never met him but I have text him for parts and he is an Awesome guy to deal with!!!
Hello Jeff just after a bit of advice about fitting a electron carb to a 2005 cr 250, will it work on that model because it has a servo controlled power valve and a cable going to the original carb ? Hope you don’t mind me asking it’s just I’m afraid I might buy it and it won’t work correctly, cheers gaz
I see this as a useful product for downhill switchbacks. I can see how it would work great with an auto clutch, but for those of us with a manual clutch, do you keep the bike in neutral for these kind of situations?
I ran a Recluse LHB on a KTM530 for 3 years. I never got around to installing a Rekluse clutch. It worked GREAT. My only issue I had to work out, going downhill in switchbacks(brake excels here), if I kept the bike in first gear, my rear brake fluid would get hot and the brake would fade(motor was working against my braking, lol). So I just got used to pulling the clutch when going slow. The Rekluse took some time to bleed, but instructions are top notch. I always had trouble getting the last of the air out(I think), level was just softer than I liked. I would zip tie lever in pulled postion, and over night I think some air escaped and level felt better. This OX looks VERY nice, and install looks easy, my new bike I'm going to try an OX!
@@slaverace1 I meant I had a previous Ox rear brake that never felt very good-I think I didn't measure the pistons correctly upon my first install. Now I'm going to replace with the pro version, and I don't have a reliable piston position to measure against. I guess it's just going to be a situation where I install it and then adjust using the free play of the foot lever?
I hope this is available for the 2016 KTM Freeride, or even the other rear Ox brakes Also I hope the rear brake pedal can be removed if this is installed.
It is still a good product but the Ox Hydra Pro is better, has more power. slavensracing.com/shop/hydra-pro-left-hand-rear-brake-kit-for-ktm-hqv-berg-by-ox/
@@slaverace1 just what I was thinking of trying. I'm trying to decide between the Clake 2 or just the Ox-Hydra. I have the Rekluse CX but may go back to stock and the Clake2. I run Harescrambles in Minnesota, 150sx
A few things you didn't mention. That hydraulic line will rub a hole in itself right behind and above where it bolts on. Each time you use the brake it moves up and down slightly. Over time it will wear a hole in itself. I've been wrapping mine with electrical tape and checking it periodically and replacing as needed. Also OX seems to have really went downhill. They won't answer the phone email or text. Absolutely no support anymore. Last year they were awesome. When mine rubbed a hole in the line they had me send it in for a free repair and put a protective cover on it for me. No charge. Now you can't even get a hold of them. I'm guessing they changed ownership.
Chuck is awesome! Rode on the trails with him last summer. Out ripping up technical stuff at 80yrs old. Mad respect

Chuck is a good guy. Makes good stuff.
Great product, and nice to hear the story behind the company.

Love it. I have the original ox brake... time for the new one!!

Will it fit Beta?
All I want is something to save me from falling off my wheelies will this work good?

Hi Jeff could you please do a short video of how to adjust the throttle play on a TPI KTM/HUSKY?
Like you mentioned about the “other ones” I have to occasionally back bleed. Will it fit a 2015 YZ250FX?
That's an awesome bit of kit!!
Will this fit a rmx450z as I don't want to us the cable version
Hello:
Sorry, it will not fit your RM.

How do you fix the piston if you measured the distance incorrectly upon the first install?
Tom: What do you mean by "fix the piston"? If it didn't pop out and loose fluid you can just push it in and re-adjust.

Any for Japanese bikes ?
are they tricky to use ? how do you avoid stalling can you use both clutch and brake at the same time ? sorry newbie here
Mainly used on bikes with a Rekluse auto clutch.
Can you use the lhrb and clutch at the same time? If you have the hand coordination of course.
Wouldn't be my choice but give it a go.
@@slaverace1 ordered my lhrb from you a few days ago. How would you go about using it? With an auto clutch system?
Finally A really good system! When will you start selling it ?
In stock. Click >>>>> slavensracing.com/shop/hydra-left-hand-rear-brake-by-ox/
After a couple years now... do you still recommend and find it holds up well?

Will this work on the 2018 Husqvarna TE300?
Yes, the fitment list on our site is correct >>> slavensracing.com/shop/hydra-left-hand-rear-brake-by-ox/

Hello, You are correct. New ownership and they are not up to speed yet.
will this work on a ktm 690 enduro?
Sorry, no.
Wouldn’t clutch lever position take precedence over lhrb? I have one on my beta that I made and I can’t imagine it backwards
90+ % of them are sold to guys with Rekluse auto clutches and they seldom use the clutch lever.
Does this have a better feel than the cable version? Can it lock the wheel up?
Yes, it is MUCH stronger than the cable version.
are you selling these now?
