"Still on the OTSFF front, the whole team uses Rekluse auto clutches on their RM-Z 450s. I thought they were fully automatic and wondered why the guys still use a clutch lever but I guess they are kinda-auto but yet you can still use the lever. I rode a bike with an auto-clutch once and thought that it could never work for a really fast guy but I guess I was wrong." - Steve Matthes, Racer X Illustrated

z-Start Brake Kits
The z-Start Brake kit is designed to enhance rider control. The z-Start Brake enables the rider to use their left hand to actuate the rear brake. Moving rear brake control to the left hand enhances your riding experience by significantly improving braking control in tight corners, right turns, and other technical riding situations.
There are two options for brake kits: Left-hand only which replaces the foot pedal completely and a Dual-Actuated model that enables brake activation with either the left hand or right foot.
The stock clutch lever and perch must be removed to install the z-Start Brake Kit. For cable-clutch bikes, a special override option is available to add a small clutch override to the brake master cylinder.
Currently, there is not a clutch lever option for Hydraulic bikes.
Note: Left hand only units have "0" as the middle part number digit. Dual Actuated models have "1" as the middle part number digit. "-OR" adds the override for cable clutch bikes.
