So sorry, I thought I posted it: The primary was the problem. Sticking like crazy when it come to ...squeezing in and grabbing the belt, as well as not ...sliding back out to release the belt.
I didn't end up really touching the secondary - or changing it. When StevewithOCD came up and confirmed my first step was to get a primary clutch that functioned properly, the plan after that was to see how the sled did ...re with the secondary. I haven't gotten out to do any real driving/riding on some lengthy patches - to get the RPMs up to 10k or so to see how it performs. But, based on my years of riding my Viper and SXR700, it feels like the Apex is operating like a normal sled now.
Running at speed or sitting at idle? Assuming at idle, and ...I guess so, although the belt seems to sit a little bit low in my humble opinion. I think Steve thought it was ok - just a little below the top/crest of the secondary sheaves. I thought, ideally, the ribs of the belt would stick up like a mm or two
Ahhhh. Then disregard my comment/question in the other thread. Understood, I’ll try what you said.
Only real challenge for me is: I don't know what may be lacking with the current setup. So if/when I take the performance parts out of the primary I have on my bench and put em' in the one from Barn 'o Parts OR take your stock secondary parts and put on the 'enhanced' on with the Super Torquer on it... I, will again, not know what I'm looking for.
