So the question now becomes, what should be done to the clutch next to take advantage of this new power.??
2nd Ride Report.
NO overheating warnings at all today.
But then again this was the 2nd COLDEST day I have ever ridden!
Windchill was running right around -25!
Lots of fresh COLD COLD COLD snow to keep the engine cool.
Max RPM was 9,150
Max Speed was 83mph
Elevation was 6,500 for the test run on a smooth flat mile long trail.
Ambient Temp was negative in the single digits (-5 to -7)
Engine ran STRONG and SMOOTH.
Very Very Happy with the performance of the MPI Supercharger today.
Absolutely ZERO ISSUES with it.
Just ran and ran strong & hard.!
Hey MATT.
Any comments??
Primary and secondary are BONE STOCK except for the added weights you told me to install 2 years ago on the primary.Having a base line of what you have now would help. We really like using 14.5 rollers in the primary. The reason Yamaha use the 16.5mm rollers is to give it a snapper rev. With a supercharger we don't have a problem with it being snappy. The smaller rollers will squeeze the belt harder and will also lower your RPM a little.
Hello Guys, for all of you that are debating the clutch setup from MotoPsycho don't wait any longer. I personally have one of his clutch kits along with a few other products from him. The man knows how to set up a SC or Turbo sled. He has spent countless hours on the phone with me making everything work on my sled that much better. I had a different setup on my turbo nytro a few years ago and it really was a terrible setup compared to what I'm running now. Moto has taken my sled from something I was ready to light on fire to something I wouldn't trade for anything. Grin ear to ear!
We have talked about it a few times last season, but he hasn't really "nudged" me towards buying one yet.
Tell me about the difference it made for your ride??
COOL.OOOHHHH.... He has some videos! I hope he can figger ooot how to post them!
Pay attention at 0:40. & Then at 1:40 till the end, as he descends the hill... the "chatter" you hear is a bypass valve that isn't working as it should - it's forcing boost air backwards through the sooper charger.

The only time you don't hear compressor chuckle in this on is when it is clamped to the bar... gut wrenching. (Disregard the couple 2smokes at the begining). Guys really don't grasp how detrimental this is to their boost systems, and how terrible it makes the sled run.

If you REALLY wish to have a stomach turning experience, search SC'd Apex's or RX1 tons w/ SC's... We have fixed a few of these that wouldn't run at all because they wouldn't dump boost when they needed to... Years ago, the Apex's would actually blow the intercooler off of the intake because of trapped boost air.
That ain't right.
The supercharger also has a built in blow off valve inside. That sound you heard is completely normal. The 2 examples in these videos both have the filter sticking up through the hood. This makes the internal BOV chatter more prevalent. We also have had a new design BOV for the last 1 1/2 years that gives you that rush sound that everyone wants to hear. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. Years ago the Apex also didn't have a BOV in the kit standard. But has been standard for the last 6 years.
