2011-xrs-800,Howards clutch kit with secondary spring, no problem with rpms 2012 xrs-800 Howards clutch kit with secondary spring, no problems with rpms, every 150-200 miles belts removed scrubbed with hot soapy water and scotch-brite pad, primary and secondary scuffed and cleaned with brake cleaner, love the sleds just very tempermental, they love 3-gallons of race gas per tank of 91 non ethanol, helps the ecm to stay in the100%mode,new belts about 800-1000 miles, new primary rollers and bushing every 1500 miles, secondary rollers the same, and most of all stock up on some spare reeds, when you over rev it will cause reed flutter, causing premature wear.

2012 800R etec Renegade 1300km. No rpm issues. +2 deg c 7900-8000rpm. -15 deg c 7900-8000rpm.

Full SLP vent kit, Throttle body heater delete, Bondi temp relocator, Team TSS-04 secondary.

Everytime i install the QRS secondary back on, the darn thing falls in RPM on top end, on a warm days. Cold days the QRS will hold rpm ok, but warm day down she goes, 7600rpm top end. I don't like this QRS secondary, the bushing are way to loose and the moveable sheave flops around like a limp d-ck. Sorry for the term, but i just don't like this QRS. I have struggled with falling rpm on these QRS since 2008.

Have fun i am going riding.

2011 800X Etec, all stock, have rpm problems. On third belt, @ 1400 miles now, dealer tried(?) to align clutches. Blow out clutches regularly, scotch brite faces regularly, break in belts easy. Terrific sled when pulling 7900, very disappointed when it's not. Need to fix BRP.

2012 800 MXZX. Have had rpm issues right after breakin mode. Seems to be better with Howards clutch kit with stock secondary.

This thing was more consistant with rpms during breakin???

09 tnt 3300 mi. worked good when I put it away last year, first ride this year, not so much. Would go to 8000 and drop as low as 7000. Put clutch kit in and have very limited time on it. Seemed to rev real good but conditions were poor (imagine that) so I still probably have some tinkerin' to do.

2011 xrs rpms and power inconsistant. I have had it in breakin mode twice in the 3500 miles on it and that is the only time it is consistent. As soon as it comes out of break in its inconsistent.

2012 etec 800X dropped 400 RPM, on days when I mostly ride in the fields with prolonged and back to back operation at high speed and high RPM. No runs, just high speed and high rpm, up to WOT though.

CVT clutch cooling cover, secondary tower racewerx brace.

not to change the subject, but did you notice much of a difference heat wise with the cvt cover ?

Installed it from the get go. But... I rode at the same pace with a friend that has the exact same sled, no add-on, and my clutches were quite cooler. Now, the brace should also help in keeping the clutches cooler, so it's hard to determine which is most effective but the combo seems give some good results.
