Great stuff, thanks a lot So far, my list of scheduled upgrades looks like this:phreerider said:clutch shoe mass may vary from maker to maker a fraction and may produce some differences . detectable difference ? doubtful. detrimental difference? nope. i have used springs/shoes from varying sources and lots of combos ,never a problem. and the most predictable have been the DDM lifetime stuff...its made specifically separate to be used with just about all 54mm 2 shoe centrif. clutches
the finger choke...(prime bulb) filter off for clear access to carb throat opening, place index finger of Lt. hand in opening while stabilizing unit with hand, with Rt. hand pull starter. most of the time one snappy pull and it pops. second snappy pull (if it needs it) its running. remove finger immediately as it fires.
OR...finger choke one full slow pull , then snap pull 1-3 times w/o finger will do it as well.
ita all about getting fuel in the case. if it has not started , and you smell fuel STOP! remove plug if its wet , take a break, return in 5-10minutes , check for spark. if +...start over. replace plug 1-2 pulls may pop right off, if not, do ur routine. not alot of pulls just consistent in action.
choose one stick with it
- Kill switch
- Baja air filter
- Outerwear pre-filter
- Tank vent kit
- 8k rpm clutch
- WT 990 without sealed bearings
- Intake manifold (is this ok?)
- Jetpro rear mount
- ===================
- ===== rebuild funds =====
- ===================
- Baja wheel adapters
- Baja onroad wheels Tarmac Busters
- DemonRC 2-speed gearbox
Given that it's not a terribly expensive part, I think I'm gonna get the 8k rpm clutch and see whether I like it not. If I don't, I'll just revert to the stock clutch. Or maybe even use them both, 6k for offroad, 8k for onroad.Phill said:I too prefer the 6k clutchThe higher rpm clutches not only cause wheelspin but by hitting the drivrtrain with higher rpm from a standing start you are subjecting it to greater force and thereore making it more subject to breakage
A 6k clutch is also MUCH more driveable out of corners
