Can't pull rpm with the common setup

[Snoman]

SLP is using MTX weights with the 160/340 primary spring . FYI it will full shift with low belt temps.

What will get full shift?

Racer Dave, how did you make out with ur weights? Did you find anyone to mod ur weights?

Heath I got busy with family stuff and put them on the back burner. Now it looks like Wisconsin riding may be at a end next week. May be next year? Ma nature is a Kunt this year

 

[racerdave]

bringing up this old thread. Heath, did you add a washer to each side on the base? 1 on the tip? On average how much weld in grams per washer? I have not been able to find your weight pictures.

 

[Dr.Notadoo]

I put them on one side but have though of splitting the mass, thinking of having a set made so there all one piece. Guys are saying it's dangerous to weld weights, I haven't had an issue. The washers range from .7-1.0 grms, the rest is weld. Stock weights are 66.4 ish, 2 in the tip and 2 at the base and there70.2-70.4 total.

I had some welded weight back in the 90's for grass dragging, but never for everyday trail use. I've heard welding can make them brittle.

 

[Dr.Notadoo]

Dave did you get the pictures I sent you?

 

[racerdave]

Just seen them. Thanks!
