Is there any way to get the centrifugal clutch to come in later on a 185s?

I'm dying too see the asnwers too this one.

I hate when people do that too my machine pulling a wheelie, it's all stock, and I believe needs a valve adjustment, it will come up on its own in 2nd, and in 3rd with a little tug.

Do a manual clutch conversion.

I guess you would just use 200x parts.

I could be wrong, but the foot clutch gives you the ability to launch at any rpm. It's a real clutch just like the "X" only it's operated by your foot. Raising the engage rpm on your centrifigual then makes it horrible for climbing. My 185's "foot" clutch grabs like a Mofo and during drags, lifts the front end every gear!!!!!! OK so I lean back a little when I let off but that things hooks hard!!!

My 185 has an aftermarket frame that is suspended but with a stiff bar in it, getting your hands on one of THESE , now will make a big diff!

One thing you can do with your 185s is to hold the shifter down (or up). While the shifter is held, the plate clutch is disingaged. Rev the motor, and let the shifter loose. you will get the same effect. was the old school way to wheelie the old auto clutch three wheelers.

That is the shortened version of the story of my life!!!!! Many people are suprised to see an old utility trike riding a wheelie! One note of caution though, when you wheelie the oil drains out of the crankcase, taking apart my motor, I have noticed that my clutch basket is scratched up pretty good.

You can only use some 200X parts. You can get everything you need out of a Honda XL185s trail bike.
