Clutching on the cheap


Very good write up!
The only things is you don't need to remove the seat and the plastic that wrap around the gaz tank, but if you feel more comfortable by having more space, then its a nice thing to do!
Have fun!

You're right thanks!!! I will edit it as optional!! I just liked having the room
 
Just got back from a test run I gotta say very impressive!! I went on the lake conditions wasn't the best 6" of fresh snow, difts and slush but I had a blast!!! I couldn't do any top end runs but from the time I hammered the throttle to the time I let off it pulled like a freight train. I checked my max rpm's and it showed 9001;)!;)!;)!. Hopefully by tomorrow enough sled will run the ice so I can try it on some hard packed! I stuck with my original belt 8jp I didn't set up for the 8dn yet( want to break in the 8dn before hammering the throttle)
 
Okay here is a step by step installation of stingray"s cotc kit
this was my first time ever doing any mods to a sled it was pretty simple to install!
To keep thing as accurate as possible if you experienced guys see any mistakes please let me know so I can edit!

First I removed the side panels, seat, the black plastic cover that wraps around the gas tank and removed the belt(note: the removal of the seat and black plastic cover that wraps around the gas tank is optional I liked the extra room)


Second I took the primary clutch cover off by removing the 6 bolts(10mm socket)
Be careful there is pressure from the spring I just kept one hand on the cover to remove the bolts

3- remove 1 weight at a time
place something under the clutch to catch any parts that you may drop accidentally
remove the clutch weight bolt( 10mm socket 1/4 inch drive with a universal and 10mm wrench)
then loosen the 2 allen head set screws that hold the pin(2.5mm allen wrench)
slowly remove the pin holding the weight and the white washer on each side of the weight

4-Grab your new weight (I installed the 3.6g rivet at the tip) and install it making sure 1 white washer is on each side
center the pin tighten the set screws and install the bolt(torque@ 4.3ft/lb)
do the same for the other 2 weights

Can you also put this in a separate post titled something like "Clutching On The Cheap install with pics" and maybe cannondale can make it a sticky?
 
thanks you again for your help and direction!!!
I got the "mod itch" now!!!lol I'm going to definitely throw a aftermarket can in it and possibly the reflash that evo is working on!!

Air box mod will give you a big mid range boost and is free. I know don't encourage the "mod fever" :D
