  • Patent number: 11644069
    Abstract: An improved adjuster for a clutch having an expanding friction disk. The improved adjuster allows desirable characteristics of a clutch pressure plate to be maintained while allowing an operator to bias the pressure plate into proper position to accommodate the function of the expanding friction disk.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 29, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 9, 2023
    Assignee: Rekluse Racing, LLC
    Inventors: Albert J. Youngwerth, Sean G. Brown, Karl E. Jensen, Logan P. Krueger, Gabe Sutherland, Sarah Haight, Dayne Konrad, Calvin Brown
  • Patent number: 11401979
    Abstract: An improved clutch hub assembly is disclosed. The improved clutch hub assembly provides improved wear resistance at the interfaces between separator plates and a clutch hub while allowing an operator to have improved clutch lever control and modulation when manually engaging or disengaging the clutch system.
    Type: Grant
