Have a buddy looking to spruce up his viper
Any clutch kits give more performance and also lower the primary engagement?

I have the BOP soft start spring and the thunder products secondary spring. You can't go wrong listening to NOS or Cannondale.

I have a Schmidt bros on my nytro and I really like it. Super smooth and low engagement. Great guys to work with. They made up a custom kit for my type of riding and it worked great last season. Made my nytro feel like a different sled and it pulled hard. I'm sure they could do something for your viper.

Your in Ottawa! Not to far from hurricane. I ran his N/A clutch kit the first year before I boosted it. His kit worked really well, low engagement and instant trail performance out of the box.

Theres quite a few options out there for performance/clutch kits and theres a few options for lowering engagment.
All depends on what he wants to spend, lol

Last season i ran the thunder products heavy hitter kit on my viper, but was using the barn of parts soft start spring in the primary for lower/softer engagement. It came set for my weight and riding style so there was very little adjustment required to get it perfect. I was happy with it. But, If i had it to do all over again i would probably buy one of the kits with magnets for weights just because they are easier to tune/adjust
I also know the 911 cover from thunder products allows you to close the primary clutch sheaves so they are almost touching the belt making for smother engagement, so i am told. I have not used one.
This year i had schmidt brothers machine my clutches for overdrive and they changed my primary and secondary springs. They claimed the primary will give me a smoother engagement than i had with the barn of parts spring.

That's where I got my kit from hurricane 2yrs ago. Dave will probably have the parts there. I'm picking up hygear parts at the show on Saturday.
