2000 sx700r, changing helix, weights. Is there a certain setting to wind spring ? Or does it just fit back in the secondary ? Thanks
There is certain holes in the secondary clutch, and I believe the helix itself. While I can't tell you what you need to wrap it too, yes there is certain settings to wind the spring.
The holes in the helix will read 0369 and the ones on the secondary will be 123. you add the numbers to get the angle of twist you want on the spring. most of the sleds will be 60-80 degrees unless you start running some odd springs or kits.
do a favor to yourself, find the numbers on the clutch and write on the outer part with a marker the corresponding number.
If your doing it with the clutch on the sled, stand your belt behind the clutch to keep the sheave from moving back when the bolts are loosened.
remove the bolts while noticing what holes the spring is in.
to install, put the spring in the two holes you need, then twist the helix to line up the towers and slide onto the bolts (be careful not to damage your bushing).
now push inward while twisting so the helix seats.
spin on the nuts hand tight, then twist the sheaves apart from each other and either hole them or stick a wrench or screwdriver in between the tower and the slot the tower slides in on the other sheave. This holds the buttons away from the helix so you can tighten it without damaging the button towers.
the only difference if your doing this on the bench, not the sled is to use another helix slid on the back of the secondary to hole the sheave from opening or if you have a small bucket or can. A hole in the bench works great too.
good luck
