WELL...
i have decent top speed but needed some get up, so I tried my hand at clutch tuning...
Each shoe was 96 grams, I lightened them each to 70grams, filed the cuts smooth, and reinstalled, I'm using stock two shoe springs 2 full turns in from flush. Before, getting off the line was so slow I didn't even enjoy riding, after the mods I took it for a quick spin, the second I touched the throttle, it revved up higher than heaven, no tach so if I HAD to guess, probably 5500+ rpm before it engages. Though that is insanely beautiful, It revs up to high cause I hit a corner that goes to a steep incline, after slowing down then hitting the hill it slipped the whole way up, and there is NO WAY I could ride it in stop and go city riding, so I backed the screws off half a turn but didn't get a chance to test it out again. Anyway, I didn't believe all the hype about how much bottom end you could gain by lightening, but i believe now, and I'm sticking to it. Here are some pics, I guess you could think of this as kind of a tutorial.
