Try stock weights w 4.5g inner, 3.1 tip
stock springs
2-3 engagement shims in primary
51/43 helix
22/40 gearing
80 degrees on secondary spring
Run yamaha 8DN belt
This is a set up I was given and works out really well on my sled with those pipes.

8bu-00 are good for drags, yes, but were more commenly used in srx's and vmax4's. wanna sell those 8bu-00's? i'll take them.
i think you might be better off w/8ca's or 8ab's in your sled.

Ok so I put in the 8bu weights with wsw primary spring set secondary clutch at 80 with stock helix and 8dn belt . Now rpms are spot on 8300 claiming to 8700 but now I have a lag when wot from dead stop till about 5300 rpm then rips . Do u think if I would put the hauxk Orange spring back it wish raises the engagement to around 5000 would that fix issue ? And Yeh if they don't work is prob sell them the other weights I have r the 8ca and correct weights 4.5 and 3.1 and it revs to 9400. Any ideas ?

if you have cpr pipes, then 8300 is not dead on for rpm's. those pipes like 9000-9200.

madman, looks like you have too soft of a primary spring in there, the shift is only 110kg on that spring. You didnt mention if you still have the stock short primary spring cover or the newer long spring cover but either way, the spring is too soft with 48 gram weights(8bu) for that rpm in that engine. You need to get to 8900-9000 rpm with those pipes, they work very well. You also should have a set of 47.5 pilot jets in the carbs.
get a spring that has 45kg start and 130-136kg shift. it sounds like your drag racing so youd want a engagement speed around 4500-5000 likely
(the hauck orange spring is 55/225 per his catalog 3.) not sure if you have tried this spring with the 8bu weights?
yamaha spring for a short cover would be a orange-pink-orange, (30/135)but it wont have a nice engagement speed.
yamaha spring for a tall cover you could use a green-white-green (45/136)
you can also place spring shims in to raise your engagment speed some.

Simons made two different sets of SX pipes. Early ones when he was at RPC (loud) and later the Hushers.
If you have the early ones I used .9 air jets to get rid of the lean bog when you mash the throttle.

i tried the Orange spring first with 8bu it had bad lag but think weight was hanging up so tried 8ch with Orange spring and over rev allot.
The pipes r not that loud so its gotta b the hushers.
