couple of issue: need help badly

[Roushrider81]

ok my sled has been leaking antifreeze for about a week now... it hasn't really been bad just a few drops here and there but when i went to look at it today the whole system was drained and it was all over the ground...probally about a gallon. any ideas about that???

and i just installed AAEN triple pipes on my 2000 sx 700 and the only problem i have is the clutch grabs at about 7 grand i want it to grab at 4.5 or 5000 RPM's what can i do change the weights...which weights would i need?? and i no some of you guys on this site have the same setup... what weights do you have on and what does your clutch engage at???

thanks alot guys

I would alsocheck the front exchanger, and the side ones and hoses to see if one has a hole. Maxdlx

Yeah, common areas for coolant leaks are the waterpump seal and side heat exchangers. The side heat exchangers seem to crack in a common area (right under the rear suspension bolts). If you drop the skid you should be able to see the crack if there's one there. I had to get my left side welded once and right side welded twice. I brought my sled to someone who welds aluminum and he welded them right in the sled, I just removed the rear and middle bolts and left the front ones in so I could just swing the skid out to give him room to get at it. Oh and the coolant has to be drained before you can weld.
