In Topic: First Ride with new Cudney Clutch - problems?

Yeah, cleaned everything very well when making the clutching change.  I talked to Bill yesterday and he helped me sort some things out and those changes were made to the sled last night.  Clutch is supposed to engage at 4000-4100 rpm.  We're supposed to get 4-8" this evening, so hopefully I'll get to do some shake down runs tonight and then head out tomorrow for an all day ride.   :revinmotion:

Well, after re-watching Bill Cudney's Clutch Installation video and then watching Dynamo Joe's Clutch Maintenance series - I realized I never "wound up" the secondary spring to get the proper pre-tension.  I'm going to take the secondary apart tonight and do just that.  Of course, all my snow is gone now for any testing.  Think not pre-tensioning the secondary spring would be causing my problem?

Sounds like a good plan.  I will take it all back apart this week and check everything out.  It almost seems as though the belt was "wearing in" to the new set up.  Maybe it is wise to start with a new belt after installing a clutch kit?

I also had some issues when I took the first few warm up laps around the field - it wouldn't build the rpm's to get up into the power band.  After I got into the wide open, and could hold the throttle wide open for a while, that problem seemed to go away and it started running pretty 'crisp' as usual.  It was actually ripping pretty good after that.  Maybe that was unrelated to the clutch and more related to the stabil, older gas, fogging and long term storage.  The constant was the slamming into 'gear' when I had to bring it back to an idle for some tight trails and steep hills heading back to the house.  I was getting better at keeping her 'wound-up' in the trails, though - reminded me of my motocross days and trying to trail ride my YZ 125.
