Hi last year I bought a 98 srx700 with almost 10 000 miles. What a great sled. I am going to try a new clutch setup since the clutch on it now is all original and has never been touched. The sled over revs 9200 plus. I read the following suggestion in turk's tips:
48/42 Helix, 89a-10 w/4.5g rivet in 1st hole and .8g in tip, 2-3 engagement shims, b-w-b primary spring, stock secondary spring.
I understand that this set up used an advantedge helix, since I was unable to get an advantedge I am going with a dalton 53-43 which should be similar. I have 3 questions:
1) Is the stock secondary spring (red) stiff enough? And how many degrees do I wrap it to?
2) I don't have a clutch puller for this sled, and the clutch has never been off. I want to make the above changes without removing the primary, how big of a pain is this?
3) Is it normal for old clutches to result in over rev? You would think that weaker springs would cause the sled to upshift faster resulting in engine bog.
* The sled is completely stock and I weigh 230 pounds fully dressed up, feel free to throw in any further suggestions.
Thanks
