They all float(once rolling)stock....many of us have REMOVED this fully.How do you set your secondary so it floats yet be able to adjust your belt deflection on these 18 sidewinders?

do the old style cat shims move when the clutch opens?? seems like they might bind? i could be wrong. this seems like a great idea for mountain riding.

Pretty damn easy when you look at the lower right corner of the post and you see a number right next to the like link.

So right now stock my secondary sitting still, not running I have a dog leg towards the motor. With the stock bolt and washer it will not float out away from the motor at all . But it will float in and out( to where the washer is stock) when engaged. So you think it would be a better idea to float my secondary where it is able to float over to "center" then when it is first engaged then it will allow it to float over to where it needs to be 1/1 ? Wouldn't the same thing be achieved by just shimming out the secondary shaft since it will float in anyway?

Set it up with the Hurricane bar. There will then be a dogleg outward. You can them use shims inside the driven to set deflection and use a washer the size of the hub to let it float outward a couple mm.
Dan, show him how. Sounds like he need pictures or videos and has no idea on the principle of how these clutches and belts work or line up.
ClutchMaster, someone help me out. I gotta tap out.

Dude that is just plain rude!
Mike has been trying to help you guys understand the concept. He’s not getting anything for helping you, nothing!
Now you come out with this attitude, if you disagree then why are you so full of questions?
Plenty of info on here as to what Mikes talking about, just do a search and you’ll find it! instead your asking him to rehash stuff that’s all over this very site.
Silver platter.........

As for the dog leg in your belt at idle, well the belt isn’t even tight so yea it’s gonna look way off. Take the belt guard off put it on a stand and engage the clutches. You will see that when the belt is tight it’s much straighter.
Here I’ll dumb it down for ya..... look at your sheaves coloring, if the inside sheave of the driven is darker than the outside sheave then your offset is too high. You want them both the same finish and color, your close enough.
Still having issues, then look at you clutch setup it’s probably junk.
Have a little respect, 2win
