I was wondering if any of you guys who have played with heel clickers have a good secondary setup to go with it also. I know the heel clicker guy says stock secondaries work well on the yamaha, which they do, but I was just wondering if I could squeek a little more out of it yet. I'm running a silencer, carbon fiber reeds and taking the vertical dividers out of the airbox and possibly drilling a few 1 inch holes in the top lid. My other question is on tracks, which would give me more traction a 1.25 ripsaw, or a 1 inch camoplast track (not sure which one) with 144 or 96 picks in it (not sure how many I would do yet)? I run trails in upper michigan and some rivers locally Thanks
a multi angle helix is the way I prefer to set up sleds with heel clickers.
on your track question, that would depend upon the conditions you ride in the most, if its icy alot especially in the turns then a studded track will be better and safer, if its good fluffy snow the picks dont do a darned thing, the 1.25" lug will get alot better traction. The only downfall to a bigger lug track is they are a little more loose feeling in the turns when its slushy/slippery out. I personally dont run studs anymore but I dont ride roads alot or run lakes so I really dont need the studs and risk the damage that can happen when they rip out. Its your sled and your decision, set up your machine for the type of riding you do 90 percent of the time, then just deal with the 10 percent, good or bad.

Which angles do you like to run on the helix? do you use the stock spring? How much wrap? And does it make a huge difference? otherwise I might wait a year.
yes, it makes a huge differance over the stock straight angle, what sled are we talking about here for the helix?

I have a '00 SRX
50/40 is a great all around set up for a srx, run 4-5 grams heel, no middle weight and 5 grams tip to start, red primary spring, 50/40 helix with green secondary spring around 70-80 twist.

OK i'll see where that gets me, where can I find the parts, through Dalton? I should be looking around 80 dollars for the helix and spring?
