Hi Folks,
Putting this in general because it is probably a general tech question.
94 Vmax Ate the bushings and buttons on the secondary clutch. Sled still moved well enough to get it home, but was clearly "off". Had the clutch rebuilt (ouchie... bushing expensive for a thin strip of metal). But the sled still seems "off" and gas milage is still suffering. Before, the sled would get 9-10mph, while damage, 6 mpg. Right now with the new bushings and buttons it ate about 1.5 - 1.6 Gallons over 10 miles. It seems a bit slower off the line, seems to rev higher at lower speeds, may have lost about 10mph on top end but not really sure. I put some graphite powder into secondary surfaces other than the sheaves and things seemed to have improve a bit, but very subjective.
Engagement RPM seems about right and RPM tops out about 8K.
Any suggestions? Work was done by Yamaha Shop (heinens in osseo mn).
Thanks in advance,
Mike
