Clutching - Not Tuned

[1Lcheapo]

Looking for some advice - I have been following the talks about what you guys are doing for clutching but seems like its mostly for tuned sleds -

Here is what I have -

2017 LTX LE
8DN Belt
Stock Helix and the reverse helix (33/35 ?) when it was the hot thing.
Stock Primary Spring
Stock secondary spring (3-3)and orange TP spring (3-1)
BOP deflection adjuster.


Problems -
A lot of belt dust inside the clutch area and on the "knee" panels. Apex didn't have this much belt dust with the same belt from what I can remember.
Belt squeal on take off - The belt is not coming all the way back up on the secondary when its coming to a stop on the trails. Deflection is set correctly..

Currently running stock helix with the TP spring at 3-1. Always have had the dust and squeal with any of the setups I have tried. Never did run the 8JP belt.

2600 miles never have blown a belt just trying to get rid of the squeal and some of the dust!

Any suggestions - Is there a easy solution for us non tuned guys?

Thanks

I have to question the deflection. Set the secondary so the belt moves even higher out of the sheaves when stopped.

Set alignment,(important)check,run stock should be good. Tighten deflection,Dust should stop. Go back to stock spring setting. Try

My belt started squeaking about a month ago, was told same thing, belt is sitting to low when stopping. Check all measurements and settings and all was good and to spec. Some brake dust but nothing serious. , then I go for a rip yesterday and boom, belt is in 1000 pieces. 8JP total mileage 1250km, not good but not to bad either

1000 miles good
