clutch wont close!! RTX

[RED800]

ive checked everything,added 2 shims to each bolt and clucthes are fully closed"meaning sheaves touch on the inside".....now when i put my belt on the clucthes wont close all the way,ive blurped the gas and let it coast to a stop and belt still sits down in secondary...ive grinded off the casting on the inside also,clucthes close when belt is off,stay open when belt is on....please some info....

You got to put some load on the track, just coasting the track on a stand usually won't force the belt up. My Warrior does the same thing.

Are you "preloading" the spring properly when putting the secondary back together?

 

[zquick1]

How many turns to"properly preload the spring"

 

[NY_Nytro]

How many turns to"properly preload the spring"

It's about a half turn.

 

[zquick1]

What would happen if i changed the hole its in.I got it in the number 6 hole

 

[RED800]

yes the spring is preloaded,put it in by #1,dunno if thats where it was but its a half turn......

 

[Grimm]

I don't know with regards to an RTX, but on my Vector, stock setting is 60 degrees, so the springs are in position 3 on sheave side and position 3 on helix side... (3+3)X10=60 degrees. Turn the helix clockwise until bolts line up.

 

[RED800]

some are telling me to put spring in #1 hole on secondary sheave and some say #3 hole,which is it....please some info

 

[RED800]

i have the rtx

 

[Grimm]

Well if you move the spring to the #3 from the #1 hole, you'll definately increase spring pressure in the secondary, which will cause the sheaves to close with more force.

Like I said, I don't know what the stock setting is, but perhaps do a search in the forum. I'm sure someone knows what it is.

 

[zquick1]

Stock is #6 hole on rtx

 

[RED800]

yes we know that,trying to figure which hole on the sheaves,i think tork said #3,but another said #1
