hi!! Dunno what happen now with my srx. no more rpm. I mean, the rpm stabilize at 7900 8000 and it seems that i have no top speed... the only thing i haven't changed this year is the clutch parts.. It is possible that worn roller can affect rpm like that????? for me, its hard to believe. My sled was fine at my last ride last year.. and suddenly, no more rpm???!
 
Bad roller bushings will destroy your clutching, take a bushing out of a roller and it thinks its got a 13mm roller in it as well as the increased friction.......

but how a sled can lose his performance like that when the sled was running fine on my last ride , last winter...??? i would have think that the performance would decrease a little by little...

(oh my, sorry for the bad english)
 
check your clutches, did you clean your powervalves, a roller will only get you that bad if the bushing is like gone

the valves are ok. the clutch component seems ok.. but i will change all bushing and see what happen..
 
Before you change the bushings check to see if there is any side to side play. If bushings are reasonably tight that is not your problem. Could be a sacked out primary spring if it has a lot of miles. Triple clutch bushings usually last allmost forever.

i have a little "side to side" play. A little is ok or i need to have no side to side play at all??? I worn primary can affect the rpm like that??? i was thinking it was just for the engagement rpm!!
