The E.R. clutch kit.

i'm way to "stupid" when it comes to anything clutch related, it will take me months to catch up and know the basics.... I Get pretty confused when people tell me to do this or not to do that, maybe i'll just stick with my gut and get the E.R. kit from Hi tech, and see how she treats me this season.... i'll keep all stock parts just in case, and end up wasting money in the end if it blows.

I also hear alot of good things about the v-force reeds other then they are pricey... If all i got was a half horse and a snappier throttle, i'd be fine with that, but maybe thats just me....

Demanding? What have i demanded besides a strait up answer? suggestions are useless if don't know why i should or shouldn't do something..... The fact that the v-force reeds cost a pretty penny doesn't mean i'll loose performance with them right? just a little jetting? and i hear i need a can to go with em? not sure if thats true or not, but if it benefits even more i'm all over it.

I'm glad you guys are looking out for how i spend my money, and i am wise how i spend my money, but i figure if i put 330 dollar reeds/cages in they better last a while.

You guys give me good info and i thank you for that. i've been sledding for years, and now i got a sled i figure i could put a few bucks into, which is why i start asking questions before i do things.

So if i get the v-force 3 deltas cages etc, i have to rejet? Is a can optional or is it moreso reccomended if i get them?
 
ok, last time....no jetting changes needed with v-force's. petal life is way less than carbon techs or stock petals too, so take that for what its worth. aftermarket can not needed with the aftermarket reeds as well. if you get the er kit and don't like it, i know of someone that would take it off your hands.
 
moneys

port it and be done, stick with them to set your clutch up & go like hell.. :letitsnow
 
I was kidding about the reeds and can as well as the cold air kit. (None are going to help you) If spending a couple hundered to get 1/2 HP makes sense to you, then that is all that matters. Like you said the reeds will not make you go slower. The ER kit is not widely used on this board, and there are other set-ups that work well for less money. Again if you prefer to try the ER and get limited help on this board, that is obviously up to you. Since your clutching experience is limited, it would seem like a much better idea to go with a more popular setup...but again... It's your call. Personally I have found the rollers harder to tune in the past without multiple helix's to throw at them.

As far as re-jetting.. Just ask the manufacturer when you buy them.

By demanding I was referencing "just get me a tried and trued clutch set up now.......... " It's just not necessary. You'll get much more help with a different approach. If you ask for advice you are always going to get different answers. That's the whole point. Sure it can be difficult to know who is giving the best advice, so you'll need to spend some time on this board to see who really knows their stuff. If you don't have the time, you'll just have to go with someones lead and hope they are right. :)
 
Just a suggestion, Check with MrViper about porting your motor. It won't be that much more than buying the reeds that aren't going to be that much better than stock. And cheaper than buying reeds and a roller.

If you have him port it, he can give you a clutching setup that will be compatible with the mods. I'd rather get 10-12 HP that really work, than buy parts that don't match, and spend time trying to get them to work. Do want to go fast, or just bench race about all the cool sh!t you bought?

I've got the Lightening Pro roller on my sled it works, but it didn't at first. After buying helix's, and playing w/heelclicker weight settings, I finally broke down and had the guy at Hacker's set it up. I have no time for tuning. I get there, I ride.

It doesn't matter if you're working on sleds, bikes, boats, or cars, a jumble of mis-matched parts never works out. You have to do your homework, and set it up properly. I like to buy parts! I've been modding all the toys I listed for over 30 years, you can waste a lot of time on things! I have.

I'm not knocking anyone, just throwing out what I think you'll be much happier with. Real results for your money! I sound like my Dad now!

Good Luck! John.
 
reeds add nothing for the money, rollers for the money add very little if anything other than consistency and wear over years.

turk is the man, there are many setups for that sled in the tech section, why not try those for near free first, we all know they work most of us have used them on one sled or another. you mentioned a can, cans only make noise on a srx, stock is faster.
the best bang for the buck on a srx is porting. if your willing to spend a few hundred on a clutch that will only be as good as a good cheaper setup or spend 300 on reeds that almost every one on here is telling you wont gain power, why wouldnt you just spend the 500 to have the sled ported and then you actually would gain speed and power. get ahold of mrviper on this board, send him your stuff and he can even tell you what clutching, gearing and jetting to match that setup. it will be spot on and actually give you more power and speed. vforce eat reed pedal, the stock reeds last for years
 
Stock reeds work the best
A good port job will give a 780 a run for it,s money.
Clutching & traction are your best bang for buck then a good port job(get don to do it)
Make sure clutches are aligned & centre to centre is bang on
Make sure power valves are operating properly
Too many guys spending too much money to go slower
 
Want it to really rock for pennies? Put a 1 tooth smaller counter shaft sprocket on it. That and one of the clutch set ups listed here. She'll run hard!

But if you want no BS power get it ported! Still plenty of time to send it to Don. You could prob. use some new rings anyways.

Tell him Turk sent you. You definately won't be disappointed!
