I went through the old girl, and attached some pictures. I will be running this as a back up sled so it wont get to much use. Maybe make it strictly an ice sled at some point not sure yet! Below is the clutching that I can tell to this point. She engages at 4K rpms. Please any suggestions are welcomed!

Primary -
2000 - 8dn20 stock

Secondary-Aftermarket 54/47 helix
set up at 80%
 
Correction.
53/47 helix.
Also something I noticed and excuse my ignorance I am new to yamaha. The suspension almost feels as though it's out of alignment. I only notice it when I got to leave my garage and it seem to wobble to the left and right?
 
nice 2000, my favorite year! put 4.5 rivets in both holes on 8dn20 stock weights, use a white/white/white primary spring, the helix you already have will work well and get a green dot Yamaha sec spring run that at 60-70 degree twist, it will run pretty stout for you.

Did you check track tension? And adjustment?

Thanks I will get on that and let you know how it goes!!
 
Thanks for all the positive feedback! It has original track and I believe some old beat up woody picks. I plan on sticking with the .92 but what track is a good one for these also I want to run 120 or 144 1.2 Picks! Anyone had any problem going that big? I know there is not a ton of room under there.

is it picked? i know if you have picks when you go across concrete it will feel like its wobbling left and right otherwise I'd check track tension!!

Yes it is picked! 92 picks I believe and they are very worn so maybe due to them being uneven is making it seem worse! I am going to tighten the track a bit.
 
I tightened the track but that didn't change anything. Thanks for the compliment! I cant wait to get her to northern Maine with some nice flat long trails!!
 
Where do you ride in northern Maine? We've had some pretty good riding in the greater Bangor region so haven't gone past the Millinocket area in a long time.
