Well, after 20 years of faithful service, numerous floggings in the local wooded trails (and who knows where else before I owned it...) and many big nitrous shots later on the straights~ the clutch has finally laid to rest on the 350x....:(
We had a blast doing it though! We threw together a wet n20 system for this machine that injects nitrous and fuel into the intake tract of this thing and *MAN* does it sound pissed when it's activated!! We added a small Yuasa battery to the electrical system to aid in solenoid activation and to energize a very small Suzuki Hayabusa electric fuel pump...believe it or not, it worked pretty good considering we literally threw it together to see if it could work.
I don't really know how much power it added because we never had a chance to put it back on the dyno tonight before the clutch let go, but whatever it made.....it was *BIG*! Huge, long wheelies in 4th AND 5th were no problem~ without even having to fan the clutch and the top speed seemed to go one forever; although I backed out of it early because I really didn't want road rash from flipping this thing at some ungodly speed..... However fast it was going, it was marching along pretty good on the top end! :eek2:
Anywho~ It was fun none-the-less, so I guess it's off to see Mr. Barnett for some kind of replacement. I just *LOVE* this thing...what a ball we're having with it!!! ;)
