Secondary Clutch Spring (6-1 or 6-2 Wrap)

[rbell14]

calling all clutching guru's!

What is the real difference between these two settings on the secondary spring? I can't seem to get a good answer. In addition, does using the 6-2 wrap provide more secondary spring wind?

I find that with my OSP adjuster on the secondary wrapped ar 6-1 that the tension doesn't seem as strong as it should. My reasoning is when adjusting belt deflection it doesn't seem to push the belt up high enough in the secondary unless i rev it on a stand and then adjust and keep repeating until the belt is riding high enough.

Will the 6-2 wrap naturally force the belt to ride higher as I'm adjusting?

Real pro/con between two wraps please. Thanks!

6-2 is tighter than 6-1. Won't effect how the belt sits at rest assuming the clutches are closed all the way. On a stand it will be difficult to get the secondary to close all the way because of the 4S engine braking. You'll have better luck checking the deflection when you ride and coast to a stop which will allow the clutch to close all the way. From a performance point of view, 6-1 allows clutch to shift faster (lowering RPM) slightly. 6-2 will result in higher RPM and slower shifting, but faster back shifting of the clutches. In heavy snow conditions, 6-2 holds RPM better as clutches shift slower due to the tighter wrap.

Thank you! Great summary, just what I was looking to understand. This will help alot with my future adjustments.
