flyRTby Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) Went out to silver lake this past weekend for the first time. Damn near creamed my pants all day long riding. What a blast!! Anyway, the last day i was having issues towards the top of some hills if i lost even the slightest momentum. I can still get her into gear.. but with the paddles and the sand, the motor rev's to the moon but the tires wont barely turn over. I assume, SLIPPAGE! Not to mention my gear oil is LOADED with metallic.. My question is what can i upgrade? I see a lot of you guys running lock up clutches(i have no idea what they are/what they do). I noticed the billet basket sticky on this forum.. I'm assuming that's for the guys running see through clutch covers?? Also I've always had a difficult time finding neutral. And to fix that, is what? Shift star mod? Is there a Pre-Modded Shift star i can buy? Or is it just as simple to just Do-it-yourself and save the loot? I know this is a lot of info/questions. I appreciate all help i can get. Feel free to throw in any suggestions. Lightened flywheels, maybe lightening pressure plate/carbon steels?? I'm just throwing names out there. HELP! In a nut shell i want this clutch to be MEATY! I plan on going back out to the dunes and TEARING it up so i'd rather not have this problem. Thanks again! Edited July 29, 2009 by flyRTby Quote

87sheerips Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 If I were you: You don't need or want a lockup clutch brotha, not for a dune/ play bike. You want SOME slippage.. Get new OEM inner/outer clutch hubs Get a HAGNUM billet basket from F.A.S.T racing (he has a special on them right now) Also order clutch fibers and steels from F.A.S.T, run half and half stiff and regular springs With that installed, you should be BEEFED UP!! You could also ask him about getting a pancake bearing (especially if you do a lot of pulling in the clutch at high speeds instead of engine braking) -JD Quote
shanYE west Posted July 29, 2009 Report Posted July 29, 2009 huh.. I thought I made a post in this thread.. But.. heres my advice.. What JD said. :biggrin: Also.. I think Jeff sells the modded stars. Quote
flyRTby Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Posted July 29, 2009 thank you, thank you! on the phone with f.a.s.t right now, getting it all ordered and taken care of! Quote
