I recently changed my drive sprocket to a 8 tooth driver because I am putting a 1.75 after Christmas. For now I have a 1.25 Kimpex X Force track on my 121 1998 srx 700. I changed the gearing to 22 top 40 bottom What changes would be best for both primary and secondary ? Should I change my helix and weights? All clutching is stock now! I only want to ditch bang and have a little for powder riding!
 

Yes totally stock clutching, I had a maxx roller secondary clutch but it just sucked so I put the oem back on. What should I run for weights and rollers in primary and which helix angles would be best to use for 2.05 gear ratio 8 tooth driver with 1.75 x15x 121 track I want PULL
 
I WOULD USE YAMAHA SECONDARY WITH LIKE AROUND A 47-43 HELIX AT 80 TWIST. POSSIBLEY THE 8DN-20 WEIGHTS WITH A W-W-W PRIMARY. I DON,T THINK YOU WILL NEED TO SHIFT THIS SLED FAST ON BOTTOM END BANGING DITCHES WITH THAT GEAR RATIO. JUST A START I GUESS. I DO KNOW THE STOCK 98 SRX CLUTCHING CAN EASY BE INPROVED ON FOR CLUTCHING !! 3:16 (yammie tony)

;)! Thanks thats a start! Anyone else wanna give it a try?
 
Your gonna need some serious weight & a steeper helix to bring down rpm,s.
Start with a w-w-w primary spring
add a 1 gram washer behind new 4.5 gram rivets in the primary weights
Get a helix about a 54/44.
Your rpm,s are gonna go way up.

did it just shift out too quick for your riding style or was there something else you didn't like about it


Yeah it shifted too quick I want something that keeps its balls I dont care for top speed

well with that ratio, you won't have to worry about top speed. stock ratio was 1.61. should be good for plowing a field or climbing denali. shouldn't run out of power!

The 8DN-00 that is stock or new 8DN-20's with 1 gram washers behind 4.5 gram rivets at theTip?
W-W-W primary spring!
A 54/44 helix what spring for secondary ?
What should the rpm be? 8400 max?
I need power but I haven't got the know how to get it to the track!

You want to be 8400 max on a stock engine. 8dn-20 weights is what you need. The 8dn-00 need a gazillion grams in em loaded up to bring down rpm,s due to their flat allmost 4 stroke weight profile.
 
Thanks Turk, For my secondary 54/44 with Which Spring? I can get A 54/46 helix off a member of the forum, or should I buy 54/44 from bender? This is my everyday rider. I do not care about spending $$$ for this sled .What would you suggest?

Ok so I got my 8dn-20's, my 8cr- 20's rollers, 6-4.5g rivets 3-1g washers, a W-W-W primary, A green secondary on the way and my 54/44 helix from bender in the mail. How much tuning is going to be involved in setting up after installing all parts? If rpm are high Do I add tip weight and if low subtract tip weight? When you said "loaded up" you meant 4.5 grams + 1g washer in tip and 4.5 g in center?
