I switched to the stock black shoe, stayed with red counter weights and yellow spring and it was better however it kept slipping. i kept loosening the clutch nut untill it was a hair above the threads. Is that possible? Even with the little bit of tension on the spring, the clutch seemed to engage late and stuttered from a standstill. Any suggestions? Could it be the counter weights?
Thanks for all the help!!
I don't think so...........
The clutch gap is very important and reading your post I suppose you used a very large gap........
try this setup (incredible for Novarossi Plus):
Stock clutch with all steel weights in flyweights......
TM BLACK spring at 0.80mm of preload
0.60mm gap.........
according to the grip of your track, play ONLY with spring tension.........
0.60mm gap is the best setting I found, if you try smaller the clutch bogs down..........and a larger gap hurts the thrust bearing and can make the clutchbell touch the 2nd spur gear.......
