I have Rooster builts clutching in my 09' 154. 20/45 gearing. 15.4 Pin wieght.
Spoke with Winter Brew and he was thinking that my clutch should be engaging at 4000-4100. Mine engages at 4500-4600. I adjusted the belt deflection until it creeped very slightly on my trackstand. I then doubled checked the engement RPM's on the stand and it was 4100-4200.
I then took it to the snow and it dosent actually grab and go til about 4500-4600...It was 4800-4900 until I adjusted the belt to ride a bit higher in the pulley. That line on the belt is about deadnuts even with the top of the pulley itself.
Spoke with Paul and he is thinking that us uber high altitude guys 8000-11000 with the light pin wieghts may be seeing later clutch engagement....I'm running Roosters recommended 15.4 gram pin wieght based on my size, mods and altitude.
I'm a first year Rook' and the clutching feels really good. My experienced buddies have ridden my sled and are pissed that Rooster dosent have clutch kits for their "Other Brands"
claiming that mine works better than anything they have ever ridden.....That being said we all agreed that maybe it engages a bit late.
When I bought the sled and the dealer set it up with stock stuff it also engaged high at 4800.
Is this an issue with my high elevation and light pin weight or???
I cant adjust the deflection any higher or the sled will run away from me if I leave it idling. We took our time during the install and a Bddy with lots of experience helped on the clutch install....Everything seemed to go in only one way and short of that high RPM engagement the thing flat out rips.....
Is this something i should be addressing closer? Do you other light pin high elevation have this high RPM engagemnt thing going on as well?
Thanks!
