new springs

"it was reving super low and not taking forever to get up to speed.

" whats that mean? typo?

anyways if it was reving really low it might have been too engaged, the pads on those are big so if its not sprung hard enough it might have been slowing the motor down at low rpms and not slipping at all, see what happens if u turn the screws in more.

and btw u shouldn't need new springs with $100 clutch. just saying.

lame

I had them turned in pretty far I'll try all the way tomorrow. I was also wondering if the weight of the shoe was something to worry about? the end of the shoe has extra material on there that might make it come out eariler.

at the portland rally I finally fixed a long standing 3 shoe clutch problem on my old blue magnum. The edge of the shoes were being held out far enough by the springs that the non-pad edge of the shoe was contacting the clutch drum all the time. It felt like the starter clutch was constantly engaged. It would stall at lights because of this. grinded that end of the shoes down and its been working perfectly since. This was a kstar clutch i got from benji a year ago or so. with paz orange springs. I know this is probably totaly unrealted to your problem, just wanted to post that incase anyone else is having this problem.

we are talking about the medium clutch right?

the super, not the super super.

i have the super super. and it is quite excellent. even with the springs it came with.

i tightened the springs all the way down, then backed them out half a turn.

this is recommended for racers.

as for the super clutch. no ideas man. keep messing with it.

other people have has success with it. no question.

nope its the 'super super". elliot i was thinking maybe it was the shims. i the shim in my clutch bell set to .08 like recommended in the puch manual. but it seemed like it might have been a little of a tight fit when i put the clutch in and i had to readjust the clutch cable shorter. bryan the springs that came with it seem great. thought they looked exactly like he stock korado shim distance on your clutch bell. maybe it is different. i ll try as far down on the screws as i can today and see what happens. then il try it in another bike if it doesnt work.

moby clutch... what 4 metal tabs bolted to a spinning disk?

or puegoet I mean. Flynn showed me (what I thought was a clutch) that was gigantic. I do know how those stupid variators work.

One rotation? You mean 180 degrees or 360?

Oh and he was using the springs it came with.

Did you swap out the springs that came with it? I'm about to install my shit soon. Currently rockin a stock Puch 3 shoe and happy with it, but it's going into my GF's Pinto. I hope that I can feel the low end difference when I switch it over to the big boy clutch...

Sweet. I got some Paz springs that are going into it and I'm already rockin the Motul Transoil. Can't wait... The springs that come with it look shitty so I picked up some Paz springs right after I got it out of the box.
