Wow, what is your spring load set at. Seems like you can wind it out quite a bit before engagement.

what do you mean by that?

 

[atom3624]

I think he's talking about an adjustable clutch - is that what you have?

It seems to engage quite high - which will be quite, erm, interesting - wheelies and explosive off the line, depending on traction and weight distribution.

[rocco53]

ahaa. yes it is ajustable. i just put it on like i bought it. never worked with such a clutch before.

 

[Bigger the Better]

It just seems to be engaging later in the video. That does not mean its wrong just how you have it set. I would set it to engage when you have just the right power on take off but not too late to put strain on the drive train and like said a wheelie machine from snapping in at high rpm..

 

[RC-BRYO]

hey thats some bit ov craftmanship, do u need any special tools to do it?
