Clutching on a 136 RTX

[1CrazySledder]

Okay guys. I have finally gotten everything installed. I have installed a 136 expert X on my RTX. I have changed the top gear to a 23t, left the bottom gear stock. What else is there to do with the clutching? Will I need to add/subtract weight, put a new degree twist, or anything? I have the ripsaw with 144 1.375's up the middle. I do agressive style riding so I want this thing to pull in the low and mid for the trails. Any advice would be great. I know there are kits out there, but I am waiting on Allan's filter kit and will get a set up clutch kit from him at that time. In the meantime, I need this sled set up. I have a Hauck helix and spring in it now, that was for the shorty version, though. I don't think that will work in the 136 now, will it?

I would run the white attak secondary spring at 60 wrap. The lower gearing should cancel out the added drag of the track so your clutching should stay pretty close but your probably gonna need a little more secondary twist with the added traction wanting to open that secondary too quickly.

What should I do with the stock stuf I have now? I really dont want tto spend the loot and buy a White spring knowing I will be changing it out in Jan. when the Ulmer kit will be ready to roll. What can I do with the stuff I have now?

You want the least amount of secondary wrap before the belt starts slipping in the secondary. try the pink at 70 & look for belt poop on the secondary shive from belt slippage. If the shives are nice & clean & rpm,s don,t take a dump your good to go.
