SlowerThanYou Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Posted February 19, 2014 I am currectly running 80 lbs of base pressure with 4 springs. I want to go down to like 70 and see what it does. I dont really like the idea of cutting springs cause I feel they will never have the exact same pressure. What type of springs could I try that are weaker then stock springs? I am getting that number by measuring the installed stack height, then using my spring tester, each of my springs are 20lbs at the installed height. There seems to be some confusion here. I don't know what your set-up is, but that base pressure should be frying the clutch. 2 Quote
rjatv Posted February 19, 2014 Report Posted February 19, 2014 Hmm, I guess I better re-measure and re-check. Quote
SlowerThanYou Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Posted February 19, 2014 Hmm, I guess I better re-measure and re-check. I'm trying to figure out the best way to make sure it's being done right! Can you post up pictures with a little explanation? Have you ran this set-up yet? Quote
rjatv Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 Yes I have ran this setup last year, it's 4 stock springs. I measured everything a few months ago and maybe 20 per spring is wrong, I didn't write anything down because it was the end of the race season and I knew I would be re-doing this again come march/april. I will re-check re-measure everything this week and see where it's at. Quote
Tedder Posted February 20, 2014 Report Posted February 20, 2014 There are very few veteran clutch tuner's & 2 of them are member's here. One keeps his mouth shut on it & the other blabs more information than he should. 4 Quote

Have you ran this set-up yet? Ok sorry it has taken me so long but I have been busy. Here are some pics to show how I am measuring. I will say I was off with me saying they were at 20 lbs per spring, after re-measuring they are at 25 lbs per spring at the installed height which is giving me 100 lbs of total base pressure.. As you can see I run a slingshot type of lockout. I am measuring from the where the spring bottoms out, to the top of the spacer which is 23mm. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted February 28, 2014 Report Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) ^ very nice It should be noted that these slingshots are gonna have much different numbers for spring pressures and weights then the finger style. Edited February 28, 2014 by trickedcarbine Quote

I didn't realize this was a slingshot set-up. That would have been good information to have known, did I miss that somewhere? While I have tried to cover different types of lock-ups. The most basic factor for all of them is; you have to create slip using base pressure. Quote
rjatv Posted March 3, 2014 Report Posted March 3, 2014 I am looking to know what clutch springs from other bikes will work with the banshee, just wanna get as many as I can. Quote
Joejr915 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Where can i get different weights for the slingshot lockup and what size do i need Quote

BANSHEE HP Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 Slingshot uses ball bearings for weight. H.O.D sells weights for arm style lock ups Quote

Surfrjag Posted March 6, 2014 Report Posted March 6, 2014 I think somewhere in this thread someone states what size they are and ceramic balls are lighter Quote
