Screwed the pooch on this one....

[dont_tread_on_me]

  Yea the guy definately knows his stuff.As of now,I think my setup is pretty done,or at least close.After the exaust repack and new torque spring,I should be good to go for awhile.I definately want a new clutch now,but other than that I think I'm done.If I ever have engine trouble I may go to a 70cc kit,but I don't want to lose the daily driveability and have to constantly tune it.It's way faster than I'm legally able to drive it now so top end isn't really my goal anyway.I do certainly appreciate all the help and advice...you guys kick ass.

the only problem I have with it is the slight lag/delay at launch.

..can be fixed with heavier clutch springs...if everything else (jetting/roller wt) is right...

I have the red ones in it now,but maybe I should try the 2000 rpm ones,I'm not really sure if the clutch is worth the added benifit or not.

..i'm thrilled with my top speeds...aint currently going out to increase that...

..i've now, with the dr pulley clutch, getting real close to a constant, powerband take-off/mid accelleration balance..



..itsa beautiful thing, that you just cant get to with a 4t...

..if you can fix it with springs, then do!!!


..it's entirely possible!!!


...seen 10 bucks worth of bits add 10 mph....

..the stiffness of your clutch "fly" springs determines how high ur engine will rev, before the pads engage the bell...

..heavier spring can take ur engine up to it's pipe powerband rpm before the pads engage, thus giving awesomwe takeoff without adversely affecting top speed...

  I am as well....I have to be getting a touch over 50,it goes way past pegged on the speedo.Mine stays pretty close throughout acceleration now as well,just need a bit more clutch engagement before takeoff and I'll be good.I have a set of cheap 200 rpm springs I got with that order so I may try em....I just hate changing clutch springs.....really hate it...lol.

I hate changing any of it. I always think "This is the time it's going to break."

..clutch springs can be a pain, but well worth the swap..

..there is a technique to removing and installing springs, that makes it fairly easy..

..leverage...


..i will post some pics this afternoon...
