What are you guys setting your three shoe Puch clutches at?
I've got a pretty basic 65cc MetraKit I'm trying to fine tune. Do most people do about 540 in?
Thanks.

most people get tighter springs and try and make that clutch chime in as late as possible.
I've got "Paz" springs, super tight! I've got it tightened pretty far. I think too far, is why I'm asking.
I've never messed with them, but I've been doing some questioning and reading around, and I have plans for my own set. and from what I gather you have to kind of decide.
If you have it reving super high before it catches, you'll take off harder but you'll be beating up your clutch pads pretty bad, and possibly bending/breaking your entire clutch. it's kind of up to you to decide how much you want to rev out before the catch and how much slipping you want with wear and tear in mind.
and the opposite, you could just tone it down a bunch but not get the same take off effect, but better than stock.
someone please say something if my line of thinking isn't correct....
He's right, Fast as shit off the line=eat clutches. its the price you pay.
7 turns.. i put my screw in 7 tunrs on my super clutch. im happy with it.
but i also ported my exhaust so i lost some low end any way
All the way in, then 720 degrees out. Start tuning from there. You decide where you want it to grab. The later it grabs, the more wear on your clutch.
anyone have a video of a ped with tight springs? im curious to hear what the revs and late catch sound like and just to see the take off. seems hard to get a good catch and not a slip.
my clutch was slpping like that . but it was from to much power on the stocker.. the shoes where so shiny and the pads were all chewed to hell it was nuts
mine is in like 2 turns and its's like tommy's there
I'll probably start with all the way in 720 out. I'm pretty slippy right now, which is nice, but I don't want to buy a new clutch that soon.
Thanks for the advice everyone.
How do you set the three shoe clutch to get a regular start?
Did you ever see a beautiful 3 shoe clutch?
And it's turned in beautifully far?
And it grips at a beautiful, high RPM, so you can better tackle the beautiful, beautiful, San Francisco hills?
And also, you're drunk?
Wow, that clutch lasts a 1000 miles? That's amazing with so much slip.
My clutches, tuned like this, last around 500 to 700 miles. Depending on how many city miles I do on it. City miles eat tuned clutches :P
