I put my viper away last year for the first summer that it had the heel clickers. At end of last season it was dialed in. Now This season I just had to take a little weight off the heel clickers to get back the 300+ rpm that I lost. The most noticeable thing is with the good traction conditions we have currently I had to raise the engagement RPM about 300 RPM as well or it would pull the belt down into the secondary too fast and overshift about 100-150ft out if it really hooks up. I have never had this happen before. It normally would do an overrev then settle in to it's rpm. I have done the usual carb cleaning, Power valve cleaning, new fuel maintinance. It seams to run fine now with my clutch adjustment. Even went about 112 mph on the dream meter in not that great of conditions. I was wondering if anyone has experienced this with that damm long spring ?
 
well i never been able to dial those heel clicker .. i switch to oem for trail ride .. condition of the trail really affect them .. someday it pull sometime it doesnt ..
 
spring could be "sacked out". i always store my sleds w/clutch springs out of them....no need for the spring to be in semi-compressed state, for a long period of time, when it don't need to be. try a new red HC spring and put weights back to what you had them working good at originally.
 
I believe MODSRX was right. Temps and snow are more normal now. I am back to my setup that I had for the second half of last year with the clickers and it runs great now. Not even a hint of overshift. I did also find that I did not have the carb vent hose plugged into the airbox. (That revelation came to me in the middle of night, Scary). I don't think the carb vent hose could have made that dramatic of an effect. I think conditions just have a larger effect on the heelclickers than many setups.
