The spring and weight install on the primary clutch was pretty straightforward. Only think I don’t know is what are the different riding styles for the different shims that come with the kit? The kit comes with 1/16th" shim for 1800 rmp spring engagement, 1/8th" for 2000 rpm and you can use both for 2200 rpm. What I don’t know is what riding styles suite those different engagements. Can anyone offer some insights?
On the secondary clutch, I see 3 holes on the pulley to slide the spring into and 2 holes on the back of the helix. i don’t know which holes to use for different riding styles. i didnt make a note when i pulled the stock spring out. 🙁
Also, when I preload the spring, how much do I turn? 1/4 turn? Which direction? Clockwise? Counter?
Thanks for anyone who can assist!!!
Also, some other questions i have.. I noticed the nylon buttons inside the secondary have about 1/8th" wear already. MAchine has about 1000kms. Is that because of my riding style or is this normal wear and tear? I didn’t notice any creeping at idle or other weird behaviour. The clutch clicks and snaps on occiasion, as others have reported… is that maybe related?
I also noticed some raspiness to the edges of the helix and some wear on the outside edges in a couple of spots. I smoothed them out with some emery cloth so it’s smooth again. I’m wondering if that suggests that a bushing is worn or something. Should clutch cleaning and helix inspection be an annual task with this machine?
Thanks guys!
PS> I’m now running 27" ams slingshots, but most of my riding thus far has been on stock tires through trails at moderate speeds and the occasional mud bog here and there.
