slobanshee Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Looking for some insite on bringing the 60ft down. I had good improvements but have hit a wall. Bike rundown- 392 PV cheetah, alky, sbsf shearers, 39 pwk, vf3 reeds. +10 arm. Stock frame. No wheelie bar. 15-42 leaving in 2nd. Thus far I'm averaging a 1.46-1.53 60ft and I'm stuck in there. I run 12 paddle rippers normally. With them I stays arounf those 60tt times and a 4.1-4.2 in 300ft. Been from 8psi to .5 psi and doesn't really affect anything. Bike isn't wheelieing or fighting me. I've been all around and many changes in the clutch dept. nothing really helps. So I tried a buddies 10 paddle haulers and slowed to a 1.6 60ft and 4.4. I'm thinking I'm just out of traction and need more paddle. Thoughts!? Maybe keep gearing up? Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 have you played with clutch tuning?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slobanshee Posted August 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 As stated yes we have been working on the clutch and seeing good gains. But have hit a wall. Tried gearing from 16/40 to 15/39 and in between. Either way it will leave without bogging or anything. Some ratios slow it, some slightly help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m671054 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 No wheelie or bog with a 12 ripper and a 10 arm means your sitting on the tank or in really soft soil. Try moving back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
