override N1-5

[J-Madd]

And to address the question about backloading in 5th gear. It's ok, but no one does it. I'd say the main reason not to just let the engine slow it down at the end of the track is that it keeps the pistons and crank moving at a high rpm, yet your off the throttle and not feeding the motor with oil/gas(alky). I have seen 5th backloaded on the dyno lots of times to help slow down the drum (no brake on the drum.)

 

You must have a pancake bearing if you have an override. FYI.

oh yea good call on the pancake i would also add thaqt most over's 5th is not ramped. so it can be backloaded no problem. i'd also add that any higher springed clutch should have a bearing adjuster on it also.. they are worth evey penny

I have a extreme override, 1-4 5&6 N down

I was under the impression that 4-6 could be backloaded, Am i wrong?

1-3 if you backload slightly you will hear it for sure, but i have been cruising in the higher gears and have let off the gas and came back on it or let it rev out without any problems, i always toy around in the higher gears, backload alll day up top with no noises or issues.
