I did NOT set up Reids sled nor did I set up Gullicksons sled. I do not and would not ever take thier credit they have earned for thier hard work. These 2 guys are where they are at today because they BOTH have put countless hours into testing. They keep good notes and know what set up will do what in certain temps,ice conditions and weather. Its called a working log.
They could give you thier exact clutch set up and your sled will not go that fast. You guys are looking for "the magic set up" and there isnt one. It will only come from HARD work and relentless testing and taking notes. There is as much to gain mph wise from the chassis as there is from the clutching/gearing, so start to look at parasitic drag and how to reduce it. All "stock" class sleds set up the chassis to get maximum power transmitted to the track with the least amount of drag, wether it be speed running, ice racing or grass dragging.
I hate to be the bringer of bad news to ya fellas but youll never go fast UNTIL you put in the TIME!
yes,..... it IS going to cost you alot of money to get to those levels, these guys have spent ALOT. I have 25 helixs on my wall at any 1 time, because you need differnt angles to test for certain set ups, I also keep 1 set of about all yamaha weight profiles along with h/c's and super tips. every primary spring yamaha makes and then some aft. ones as well are in my shop. There is nothing cheap about going fast, so if your on a tight budget, I would find something else to do or stick to trail riding other then sanctioned racing.
