A thought just occurred to me: I could maybe make the high speed backshifting ordeal a little less bad with that RX1 helix since it finishes at 43 degrees vs the straight 45 that's in there now. It would whack the sled in the nuts out of the hole, but I can pair it with that WYW primary that steps up 1 on the engagement but has the same rate. I'll wait until the hot sloppy test ride where I'm anticipating I'll be down on RPM vs last night first. I'm thinking the hot weather setup may involve SXR weights and the RX1 helix since the SXR weights shift less aggressively out of the hole.

So I haven't touched the clutch setup since the last post, but I do believe the primary setup is quite close regardless of weather. I also firmly believe that the secondary is the root of most of my struggles. Well, that and brown snow. Been busier than a 1 legged man in an ass kicking contest keeping folks plowed out the last week+ as I suddenly picked up 15 accounts, but I feel I'm hitting a state of equilibrium there and can start slacking off again and ripping on this thing.

I managed to score a set of bender pipes yesterday on my way home from sledding in BC.
They came off a running sled, and I have all the specs he used so I'm going to match my set up to his to start.
They aren't in as good of shape as my SLP pipes were, but they came with the triple stingers. I did not like the sound that the 3-1 silencer produced so I'm not unhappy, I sold the SLPs for $1k and bought the Benders for $600 so I've recouped some $$ there.
After some research, I believe the guy I talked to was incorrect and that my pipes were in fact still correct for my sled. SLP had an option of the three into one silencer, or the triple stingers, the pipes are the same for either set up.
Regardless, in a couple weeks here I'm taking the SXr as a second sled for my wife to ride, I'll get back to monkeying with the Bender pipes after that, I already have all the suggested parts from Turk's tuning chart so hopefully it's not too much of a headache!

I have a perfect recipe for Bender pipes.
My sled with them, is the best running sled I have.
Clutching and jetting wise...

I called bender and they suggested 150 mains, 55 pilots, 2.5 turns out, 3,4,3 needle.Feel free to share that haha
I'll start with that, the stock springs, Empty 89Ls and 70 or 80 degrees of preload on the 51/43 helix.
