I just put heelclickers on a 700 sxviper.
I always read, "check the temperature of your clutches after doing a run". If they're hot then the belt is slipping. My question is how hot is hot? After about 3-1000ft runs back to back, I can put my hand on the secondary for about a second or two. Is that good? Has anyone actually taken the clutch temperatures with a Handheld Infrared Thermometer? If so what temps did you get? What temp. is considered hot?

Clutches will get warm after 3 back to back runs. There is no consistent temps. Try tightening the secondary spring or use a stiffer one. If clutch is cooler you are on the right track. If it is hotter your going the wrong way. HC,s generally need a lot more secondary twist hten stock weights.

About 140 degrees is the point where you get that ouch factor when you touch something that's hot. There's room for improvement if you can only put your hand on the clutch for 1-2 seconds.
