Went for a ride tonight and much better. Much colder out. Pushing a new trail it would stay at 8000. And in I'm own trail it would go around 8400 from stand still then hover around 8000. Should I still try taking maybe a gram out of the tip weights? Should I put my spring back at 3-3 first?
i was about to responmd to your post right before this one and say if its warm out the engine will be down on power unless its rejetted for the warm waeather, so you kinda have to test when its close tothe same temp conditions as before.
so since your getting 8400 when on a good packed trail thats good, when it falls back to 8000 that means its overshifting a bit and the sec clutch is trying to backshift, likely the helix is just a tad too steep on the finish angle.
what is the letter stamped on your hauck helix?
what i would do is put your sec rear spring at 6 and 1, 6 on the helix and 1 in the clutch, this is 70 degrees. go out and ride it, its gonna be a little lower on rpm but this will be the best setting for more topend if it backshifts to your liking... If its too sluggish on the back shift then put it at 80 which is 6 on helix and 2 in the clutch, again check what your rpm is.. make note of your peak rpm.
after this if your at 8000rpm, then you need to take 1 gram from the tip rivet on each arm for a total of 3 grams for all the weights. Just drill into the fat side of the rivet to remove material and check on a gram scale.
your target rpm for a 98 srx is 8350-8400 rpm, not 8500rpm like the later years.
