I'm going to start tuning in my Clutch. But being fairly new at working on clutches I want to get an idea of how a well tuned aggressive trail clutch setup acts. Not so much what combinations get you there, but more how does it act when its there. How do you know when you have it tuned in? What do you look for when your tuning in a clutch? My motor should make peak hp at 9,100 rpm. We can use that as a basis.
I would think the first step is tuning is making sure clutches are cleaned, inspected, offset and center to center are checked.
Then dial in RPM with the primary.
Set engagement at the RPM that your track bairly has traction. If you blow the track off, back the engagement RPM down. If it's bogging raise the engagement point.
Next, tune in a 0-top speed run. Engagement is set correctly, so I stab the throttle and RPM's Should flash too XXXX within about XXX feet RPM's should.................... ????????? then top speed at full shiftout RPM should be at xxxxxxx? How should bottom end, middle, and top end be judged? by feel? by RPM? Both? etc which do you tune first?
Then set backshift?
Then make sure clutches are warm not hot to the touch?
Anyone want to share there steps in dialing in a clutch set up?
