Clutch Mods

[#404's Dad]

Have yet to crack into the clutching on this 50cc bike yet but with others getting suspiciously faster we are forced like many to start playing with all we can.

What would be the first mod you guys that have had experience with them would do, We run douglas .125 8x6 wheels and 16" snow hogs on stock gearing, my boy weighs about 52 pounds.

Thanks for any help in advance, Corey

Sprockets 19 x 30 with 18 Sno Hogs is popular here in FL where tracks are soft and get rutted.


Roller weights --If they get flat spots you will see a decrease in performance....try different weights

An adjustable rear clutch seems to be a choice upgrade....


Higher stalls springs and stiffer torque springs don't seem to help anyone that I know of....


Good Luck

i agree with gary the tourque spring doesnt seem to help ,being the drr 50 clutch is about the lightest stock clutch you can buy id say try the rollers

cool

So i think I read that stock rollers were 3.5, if so would goign to a 4 gram help top end by pushign the belt further and how bad at all will this hurt bottom end?

Thanks

Where did you get your RED small springs, I had Malossis in stock but they are too short imo to fit correctly?

Thanks

i have an easier time when i remove the clips that hold the shoes on and remove the shoes and replace the springs then put them back on the clutch plate.. just my .02

that is how I do it as well

Never tried that way....Sounds like it could be easier...

I use an FMF exhaust spring tool to pull the spring while the clutch is assembled...


Taking it apart is something I will definately try next time
