Title: Performance clutch? Post by tbalam on 02/21/07 at 17:40:02 WIth all of the talk about a chain conversion, which has me very intrigued by the way, i was wondering if there is a high friction clutch for the savage? This might help the problem of first gear and slipping the clutch when dropping the gear ratio. Any thoughts? |

Title: Re: Performance clutch? Post by barry68v10 on 02/21/07 at 19:51:36 Just shim the clutch springs and call it a day. More pressure on the clutch plates = higher friction. Oh, and don't use oil with friction modifier in it and you will be just fine. |

Title: Re: Performance clutch? Post by Reelthing on 02/21/07 at 19:55:48 Have higher pressure springs setting here ready to go in along with high friction clutch set - Vesrah VSK306/VC-344 - one of these I'll find out if they grab better |

Title: Re: Performance clutch? Post by Reelthing on 02/21/07 at 21:37:51 Can't remember which place I ordered from - been on the shelf about year waiting on me to get off my arse and do it |

Title: Re: Performance clutch? Post by Greg_650 on 02/21/07 at 21:45:38 The reason I ask is that I had ordered them but they ended up on back order. So I canceled and put the old ones in. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b277/gmdinusa/ClutchSprings_1509.jpg |

No thanks man. I have enough on my plate at the moment. Why don't you jump in there and take things apart for awhile? It's fun. Oh yeah. I forgot that you have good weather all the time and don't really have an excuse :P |

Title: Re: Performance clutch? Post by Reelthing on 02/21/07 at 22:05:19 rain passed and it was 78f this afternoon, dry around 40% humidity - man ride it like you stole it! |

Title: Re: Performance clutch? Post by Greg_650 on 02/22/07 at 05:55:35 Close to freezing this morning. Had some black ice yesterday. High today of 48F. Feel good? :P |

Title: Re: Performance clutch? Post by Reelthing on 02/22/07 at 06:16:52 yes sir - this warm wet climate is wonderful - sitting outback in a rocking chair with a cup of coffee waiting for the termite man to come spray (again) seems they're back |

Title: Re: Performance clutch? Post by justin_o_guy on 02/22/07 at 07:04:46 Theres some kinda termite treatment they use up here where they drive a stake in the ground( hollow stake) & drop some kind of bait down in it. It sterilizes or kills I can't remember, but I've seen some businesses use it & some very careful shoppers I know do that. IF we get to build the house I want, it will be compressed earth block. Yesterday was 80 tops, no wind, for a change & clear & sunny. Got a peg down in a very long sweeper I haven't exited above 70 before. Came out at 75. Amazing how a week or so of not riding affects me. |

Title: Re: Performance clutch? Post by hutch on 02/23/07 at 19:26:26 Five more inches of snow coming for us here in Birch Run ,MI. Oh joy, oh joy!!!!!Something would definately be slipping if I went for a ride, but I don't think it would be the clutch. Man I remember when I was fifteen I use to ride my bike in the snow and even got down on the creek for some ice riding. Getting old aint bad, it just getting decrepid that sucks!!! I don't bounce like I used to!!!! |

Come on Barry. I've had my dirt bike saddle time, too. I'm just an old fart that doesn't get up as easily when I fall down, so I don't want to "chance" sliding at all :P Besides, if you look around the other topics, you'll see that my bike ain't running too good right now.... |
