I've got a friend with a lot of yamaha sleds nearby, I can try one of his out possibly.Too bad you weren't closer, you could just pop my clutch on and see if it doesn't flat out work. Today I picked up a tall clutch cover, a YGY spring, and some 16mm rollers. I also found some 8DF weights on eBay for $40 so snatched those. When they arrive I can try that combo. In the meantime I just need to see what happens when I redistribute the weight in the primaries I have now.
I'll be interested in what results come of the cover and spring change.
More warm weather coming this week so snow will be worse yet soon. We could use 20-30cm. Its deep enough currently but like riding on a glacier.

I went out to my friend's farm today and robbed the clutch off his VMax 700.
It was filthy so I ran it through the ultrasonic cleaner as well.
It's a short cover with 8CH weights, and GPG spring.
I'm going to swap my tall cover, stock YGY spring and 89L weights onto it and take it for a rip tomorrow.
It was +5C and sunny here today so our snow is more ice than anything. Back to -7C for a high tomorrow.
Hopefully I'll have a couple updates by noon.

I tossed the 3.3g inner rivets today in favor of 2g in that location myself. Didn't test that yet. My 8DF weights are also almost here. But I think tomorrow I'm grabbing an SRX for the kids. . . it's a 120.

Well I tried with that other clutch out as well as the Thunder's blue secondary spring and not much changed.
It's -7C currently.
I put my tall cover and YGY spring on the other clutch with both the 89L and 8CR weights empty.
Same situation, with a touch more rpm out of the blue spring. The 89Ls are at 8000rpm WOT and the 8CRs are at 8500-8600 WOT.
Trails were groomed yesterday, and are flat and basically like ice.
Both weights peaked at 120-125KM/HR on long WOT pulls, even though there was a 500rpm difference between them.
I'm officially out of ideas for clutching.
Perhaps its the jetting or something, not sure.
I've got two rides to go on next Friday and Saturday amd another one with the wife two weeks later, so I'm probably going to put it back to stock for the remainder of the winter.
