I ordered my kit from Ryan at RVS and told him I wanted low end for work. I have Moto MTC tires in stock 26" size and they weigh around 33 lb each. I have been riding these tires for a year so I know how they feel.
I first put all of the springs in, secondary silver/orange and primary silver/green and I installed both shims to give the 2200 RPM "hit" and see what this clutch kit could do. I hated it! felt like I lost all of the low end and I was winding up a rubber band trying to get anywhere.
I went back and took all of the shims out. Didnt like it. Felt like stock pretty much.
I went back in and installed the 2000 RPM 1/8" shim. I liked it allot! predictable power, seemed to pull harder and very smooth engagement. But I had to see what the 1/16" shim felt like.
I went back in and installed the 1800 RPM 1/16" shim. This is what I was looking for. Very predictable power and pulls great. Smooth engagement. I like it just a bit better than the 1/8" shim.
I went down into my favorite mud hole and could not believe how this performs. Night and day? not really just different. It feels like I have more control of the power. I got stuck and filled the tires with mud. Hit the throttle and cleaned the tires and the thing jumped up out of there. I like it.
Wheelies? not happening. It’s a 550. Enough to make a difference? Yes!
I went from hating it to loving it.
