i recently added a spring in the primary (45g) it moved my rpm from 3800 to about 5200 wich made a huge difference in taking off and lower speed power in a good way.. i was told to get more of a snap i need to increase the weights on the spider. can someone give me a detailed picture or explanation on how to do this? on my arctic cat its as simple as pop the weight out put a new one in. the reason for doing this is i am trying to get a good amount of snap at lower speeds. also how much weight should i add?
thanks in advance.

i gathered some more info a company told me to notch the weights instead?
If you notch the weights you are mechanically holding the weight in an open position and notched weights are great for drag racing and make for a pain in the (you know what) to load a sled onto a trailer... Plus you'll need to buy a ramp grinding block to make sure that all 3 are ground exactly the same.

Also if you notch your weights, when grinding on them to notch them you are removing material and you will have to re weight them to replace the material that was removed.
If you go into the tech section you can use one of the tried and tru clutch set ups and go from there. Fairly painless.
