Re: Pros using autoclutch?
Most the pros are using them. They are called Rekluse if I remember right.

I'm guessing it's not because pretty much everyone but the privateers uses them.I say it's stupid,be a man and use the clutch lever.

I never see Rekluse advertised at races or anything but i read an article saying a pro did use one though.

I only think they would be worth while on a 450 because they have so much power. I hardly ever use the clutch lever on my 125 only when taking off or clutching it in corners.

Yeah, it keeps your bike from dieing. It won't die in corners and if you tip over, your bike probably won't die then either.
I'm not sure I would ever use one, I like pulling in the clutch trying to keep the bike from dieing.
I think it would be better for two strokes,a four stroke doesn't need the clutched slipped in the corners like a 2 stroke does.

The slippers clutches are really good on four strokes it helps keep the bike more stable when decelerating in braking bumps.

Dude I didn't know this. I thought pros used the clutch as everyone else. Feels akward.

Re: Pros using autoclutch?
Its not a slipper clutch. Its a recluse. The pros have it only to prevent the bike from stalling. With the recluse system, normal clutch function is still available.
