Ok I will use the small cut off wheel, now another question is after you cut them, where do you put the cut part, towards the motor or towards the clutch cover?
So nobody has any ideas on what other springs I can try? As for as banshee springs go I have, vesrah, Barnett, ebc, stock oem, and tusk. Just looking to give myself a lot of different springs to be able to tune this clutch...any ideas?
Ok sorry it has taken me so long but I have been busy. Here are some pics to show how I am measuring. I will say I was off with me saying they were at 20 lbs per spring, after re-measuring they are at 25 lbs per spring at the installed height which is giving me 100 lbs of total base pressure.. As you can see I run a slingshot type of lockout. I am measuring from the where the spring bottoms out, to the top of the spacer which is 23mm.
Yes I have ran this setup last year, it's 4 stock springs. I measured everything a few months ago and maybe 20 per spring is wrong, I didn't write anything down because it was the end of the race season and I knew I would be re-doing this again come march/april. I will re-check re-measure everything this week and see where it's at.
I am currectly running 80 lbs of base pressure with 4 springs. I want to go down to like 70 and see what it does. I dont really like the idea of cutting springs cause I feel they will never have the exact same pressure. What type of springs could I try that are weaker then stock springs?
Well in that actual pic I personally think they are 16's because if you look at 4 paddles, they take up 1/4 of the tire, but it could be just the way it's making it look. Either way the guy is doing something right and he is above the rest, good for him. I look at pics all the time of fast bikes searching for clues lol
