Yamaha sidewinder big turbo clutching


I have a dalton black/lime now with 46/36. Hole 3
How does it feel? That’s a stiff spring but really depends what you’re doing with the sled.
Dalton white or AC green is usually the go to

Feels fast and works great but maybe best for trail and lake riding. Im looking for something with better acceleration for lake/drag race on snow
 
I agree with above but would try to run as little spring as possible
I say hole 1 softest

The more angle and less spring the quicker the upshift and that’s what you’re looking for
Don’t need any backshift
 
ok thanks! Is it different green ac springs? Mine is very stiff, so wondering if it wrong spring.
 
No issues with a 46/36 or 50/40 and sno pro green at 375 hp trail riding . Biggest issue with that much hp on the trail is traction
 
Drag racing you’re going up though correct? He’s not trail riding and I agree on trail with you
He’s drag racing
Have you tried snow shovels that screw on the stud
Mixing those in on some of the bigger hp machines for snow and trail ridding
What length is the sled also
144 I assume
There’s a trail machine here that’s working well like that and hooks but can’t always use antilag
Set a record at a track here in trail class at 118 in 400 ft

No issuse with the 46/36 at all, works great :) But was looking tips for a clutch setup for drag/lake racing with more acceleration, 200-300m. My sled is 153 inch and setup for trails
 
Double check your boost and RPM. Your sled should be mental if it truly has 400+ hp. We have a drag viper that makes 450ish horse and it pulls away from a 300 horse sidewinder at the same rate a 300 horse sidewidner pulls a stock 800cc sled. STM primary with stock secondary, 50/43 helix and purple spring.

I tryed a 50/44 with purple spring in hole 3 (middle hole) in stm secondary clutch but the belt slipped in secondary clutch, It was rubber marks in clutch.
 
How much extra weight are you running in the TAPP from stock? Plus 2 rollers? You want to put weight on the roller bolts and get some of the weight off the arms. When are you slipping the belt? Let's see the pics of the sheaves. Down low on the sheaves you need more spring or a lower finish on that helix for more high speed belt grab.
 
Big turbo you’ll need plus 2 rollers and some tungsten on the arms
