Horse power

[troy]

If you want easy horsepower,balance your primary clutch.I did my 07 summit x 800r and after the balance job i had to add 3 grams of weight to each arm. Thats a good horsepower gain.Im happy with the results.

 

[badmonkey]

pardon my ignorance, but how do you do that?

I did my other 07 summit and its clutch balance was off more than myfirst one.It was off by 13 grams ,after the balance job i gained 1000 rpm and i had to add 5 grams per arm to control rpm.I got huge gains in performance.

To balance my clutch i had a shaft cut that theaded into the clutch,that sticks out both sides ad sat on bearings.once on the four bearings heavy side rolls down,i took weight off the heavy side untill it was balanced

I am also very interested in this, where are you removing the weight from exactly?

I would like to see how you were doing this as well? Not many places to take away weight from. Was going to try it myself once but didn't think I could pull it off

Sounds pretty straight forward. To me but would be good to see pics. Just got to make sure your table/floor is level lol

Makes sense. Wonder if you could use a tire balancing machine?

 

[Summitric]

nope.... tire balancer shaft is too big
