In the tech pages clutching magic??
First adjust weights to have proper shift rpm...if overreving add weight, if under rpm peak lighten up...got that ,

1- When adjusting the clutches so the engine stays in the correct shift rpm will the engine stay lets say at, 8300 rpm from snow packed trails? and 8300 rpm in powder?
Wide open throttle in both cases should maintain 8300 rpm right?

2- Should all clutching adjustments be done in the same conditions such as a packed trail? ...notes taken on changes...

3- How much of a factor is rider weight, number of studs (rotational weight) have on clutching?

thanks for any insight...CP
 

I will do my best to answer this

#1 Yes if you adjust the clutches to hold the RPM then at loose snow it will slightly overrev until the traction can catch up.

#2 Hard Pack will give you consistancy that waht you are looking for to hold the RPMS.

#3 Rider weight will give you traction, and studs will give you traction and when the traction grabs it should pull the overrev back to the Peak RPM's
