XM Clutching issues..

[PS94]

well, I assumed the ole xm was running mint, had decent power, working good...but my ole Rev was still working better.
Then i went out with a couple other XM sleds....both sleds were night and day compared to mine. both were stock clutching...

Someone has been 'adjusting' the clutches on mine before i got it...it had 2.0g more pin weight than stock. has clickers. Don't even know what springs are in the primary/secondary...
And the belt on it has quite a bit of slack...

So i tried to put it back to stock...made the pins the 12.4 again...it's a bit better. Should i just buy all stock springs and ramps again? or should i buy something aftermarket? How much belt slack is normal?!
Why do i always buy junk hahahaha

Sounds like it might have a low elevation calibration in it

Throw a roosterbuilt clutch kit in the XM. I will never run stock clutching again. Paul and Dave have that thing dialed in. Really snappy, great low and top end power.

Beat me to it, ran stock clutching last year and a rhoosterbuilt kit this year talk about a night and day difference. Great kit!

Stock weight is 14.5g, sounds like you removed the 1/2" pin.

A bad belt, even a poorly adjusted one will preform terrible.

How many miles on the sled? What's the clutches condition like? Out of spec bushings, sacked out springs will also hamper perf.

A Roosterbuilt clutch kit will wake up the sled over a stock setup.

Long threaded
35,75 mm/12,4 g

I put in the 1 set screw they asked for...you're right, it was 14.xx with the screw...

I can change it for you also if you wanted to drop sled off or bring parts over.
Pm if interested and can set up time.

Check the gearing, the stock ramps should be 441's, buy new springs, check bushings.

Hey Rotor Mech, do you use Mobil products? I need a liter of Mobil1 Jet II turbine oil...and i can only seem to find people wanting to sell me a case of 24...and at $17/liter, that's a bit more than i wanna spend!!!
