11800 rpm (to high?)

[woowoo16]

mine bounces off the rev limiter ALL the time, i think its time for some clutch tuning, im need to get my hands on some rivits.

 

[woowoo16]

I bought some 13.3 alum .85 gram weights at my local dealer it's all they had in stock if I put them in the top hole will it make much difference ? Will it hold the rpms down off the rev limiter off the line?

Sorry for the thread Jack I'm really confused

 

[Tbyrd]

sea level set up for mnt lite is 13.9(3.6g)steel, iner and outer. If you want to bring the rpms down you need more (g) in tip. All yami lists is a 17.2(4.5g) steel. 13.3 alum .85 g is pretty lite?
Remember lite raises rpm & heavy brings down rpms

 

[woowoo16]

but i though they came stock with no weight in the outer one?, and its all my dealer had in stock i couldnt find a site that would sell me them for less than 20 bucks shipped for 3 -.-

6 bolts and you can check your clutch but 07 mnt lite thems the #'s. the rivets are like 1 - 2 bucks each, 20 sounds bit high?

 

[woowoo16]

okay i took it off, both my raps have rivits in them. steel ones so i assume there pretty big. and it was 20 dollars because they have to be shipped to newfoundland canada its like 15 dollars shipping.

im slowly learning clutching, i pick up really quick on this stuff since i took an automotive trade and im always modding my cars. Turbo ford escort and a turbo focus.

anywho could i get off the limiter with a heavier spring in the clutch?

I'm not a guru by any means on clutching but I believe all a spring will do is raise or lower you engagement. (what rpm the primary closes on belt)

and backshift

I just adjusted my secondary because its free and easy and gave me a little result, I also recorded everything I did to know where to change it back if needed. I got 3 of the 17.2 rivets at a yamaha dealer today for under 5 bucks and will put them in tomarrow night, it sucks that trails are closed here so I wont be able to test it out till some more snow arives.

Thanks

well, the reason id like ot keep it off the limiter is because i have a holtzman nitrous kit, on the way still apparently... all 3 weeks away

 

[ThatOneGuy]

Well I was out grooming tonight so i didnt get the rivets in, but I got my clutch apart and I see I only have 1 rivet on the outside. I guess tomarrow night I will try the biger rivets, and trails are reopening tomarrow so I can test it out too.

Nitrous would be a good reason to keep it out of the rev limiter, but hey they put it on their for a reason, so why not use it! lol

just a quick quesion. do ALL mountain lites come with 17 top gear, i know it can take 17-20 without changine the chain. i was thinking an 18 gear would still keep my low end power but keep me a bit farther down on the rpm

sea level mtxs come with 19 top tooth .

 

[woowoo16]

Really because mine only has a top speed of 121 kmph on a long long stright and it's always on the rev limiter

 

[woowoo16]

Also I'm talking about off line I'll start from stop and hit the limiter within 6 feet and it will keep hittin it for like 20 feet after that or so
