Feathering the clutch

Jay,

Feathering the clutch is a definate tool that I use a lot. Not so much in an all out climb, but in tight areas where finese is required.

Duke can confirm, we went into Turtle one day this spring, ..in the back way off the end of the Kirkup, the trail was nasty and requires skill, a good sled and a decent rider on a good day. Of course it is an uphill tree run, which can be fun, but there were bomb holes and deep trenchs. I pulled out the top in good fashion, but the clutch was warm to say the least form the abuse. I will probably upgrade the clutch plates and springs some time during this off season.

When idling around in the deep, or boondocking, I will often bring in the clutch and grab some rpm's and let her rip, this gets it up on boost instantly for big power.

I enjoy the heck out of this sled, but it is not particularly user friendly!! LOL
