clutch set up?

[niko]

does any one know how to get my sled to start moving under 4000rpm? At the moment it needs around 3700 to get moving? Id like it move around 2500?
Its got a hartman custom clutch set up in it.

cheers ,
niko.

A softer spring in the primary clutch should do that for you. I don't know which spring colors that would be, maybe some other people on here would know more. I'm not sure why you'd want to change the clutch engagement to such a low RPM as you'll be getting futher away from the motors power-band/torque curve.

By the way...........how's the winter treating you? Much snow?

 

[niko]

No probs on the set up. I'll leave it as is.
Snows been real good this year with heaps of good riding. Coming back over to tahoe in nov so get to do it all again.

Sweet pic!!! It's good to know that winter was good there as hopefully that means we will also get plenty of the white stuff.

Your engagement is good. You really wouldn't want it to engage at 2500.

 

[niko]

no worries ,i'm going to leave it as is for now.
Next thing is to get a new seat and pipe.

there no problem to clutch around 3000 rpm. My Rx-1 with 162 x 16 x 2.5 clutch at 3100 rpm with 20-40 gearing . Its way more fun at low rpm when youre going tight trail in deep snow, otherwise, its useless to change that. But not that bad.

clutching update?

Niko
Did you ever change your engagement RPM and also what track speed are you showing while climbing steep powder throttle pinned? I'm seeing 48-50MPH on the dream meter with RPMS consistent at 10800 RPM. I'd like to hear some other folks track speeds, considering going to a Hartman clutch kit and I know you have his set up. All info appreciated

To tell you the truth i dont know what the rpm is showing as ive always been looking ahead. I'll let you know next year once im back home.
Just got me a R1 muffler off ebay for $31.00!! hows thats for great price!!
