I talked to the fella I bought my sled from and he pointed out the white sticker he put on the tach. From what he told me this sled runs out at 9100 rpm's. Now I'm new to this but from what I have read 8500 is the magic number on these SRX's. So, How much weight do I need to add in the primary to drop to 8500 rpm's? There is a 50/42 helix on the secondary.
P.S. There is a large amount of rubber dust above the primary on the aluminum cover that goes over the clutches. Is the belt slipping at full shift out, hence the 9100 rpm deal as stated above?
Thanx,
Corey

It is hard to say if the belt is slipping or not by simply seeing belt dust.
The first question you need to answer is what weights are in the primary, and what primary spring. Also, who makes the 50/42 helix, and what is the secondary spring? What belt are you using? When does it pull 9100 rpm? I noticed your sled has an m-10, so i am willing to bet that it is not pulling that kind of rpm because it is out of gear on top end, unless it is severly geared down.
If the weights are the stock weights, the sled should not be pulling that rpm, and you have another issue. If I were you, I would pull your clutches apart and clean them thoroughly, and check the bushings and rollers for wear. Then I would sand and scuff up the primary and secondary sheaves good, and mark the faces with a magic marker to check to see if the clutches are shifting out.
