Lock Up

[mpd579]

When do you need a "lock up" clutch?

 

Is there a magic HP number?

 

Or certain type of riding it works for?

 

Still new to all this stuff and you won't know til you ask!

 

Thanks

I don't need 1 then. Lol. I read a post about how they work but I didn't get a good answer on when u need it. I'll be lucky to see 70-75hp

Ok, my opinion....There really isn't a set level but if you have a dune bike making 80 plus or any dragger it would be wise. However. How stiff do you need your springs to be to hook your motor to the tires? Is it enough to make you wish that they were lighter? If so, Put in some light springs and a lock up.

I like a lockup because it kind of autmaticaly feathers the clutch for you when launching. I like have the soft stock clutch springs and a lockup. That way it launches better but you dont get clutch slip when your up and moving.

i heard that lockups increase clutch life by a huge amount no matter the hp.

I'd say 60. You dont need a lockup, just get a decent clutch

 

 

It made 61 with an airbox, pump gas, and my shitty job jetting.

 

HJR did some more port work, race gas, I'm getting a dyno tune and I switched the air box to pods. I'd like to see 70
