M8 Clutching

[ryanb]

I have a 2007 M8 stock no mods. Looking to clutch for 3000-6000ft. I have ran 68gr weights at west yellowstone which is alot more elevation. I also run 80gr weights for flat land, which i do the majority of riding. All i have time for is a 2 day trip so id like too have the right clutch set up before i leave. Would the sled pull alright with the 80gr weights i have, or should i follow the chart and purchase different weights? I have heard these sleds worked better with more weight in the clutch just not sure if 80gr is too much. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Before i started to mod my 07 i ran a 42/36 helix with an orange spring and i found that it ran the best for me with 71g weights.I ride between 5000-8000ft. A set of ajustable weights would work well for you.

I ran 73 gram weights at 3-6,000 feet last year but, I had a SLP single pipe.

I was pulling 8,000ish RPM.

Thanks for the replys. I was thinking adjustable weights too. There are a couple types out there i seen the d&d magna's and the daltons. Any recomendations on which adjustable weight system too go with? Thanks

I run the daltons. Easy to change weights

I have the Cutler's and have read good things about them but, I haven't tried them yet so it's tough to say how they work.

X2 cutlers. Know very well the weight range you need - and buy the set that is close to the low number. Not really 10 grams of adjustablilty from what I can tell. There are other threads on adjustable clutch weights, hit the search!

Yes your 80 gram weights are to heavy. I ride a 07 m8 at 5-7k feet and use 77gram weights, but I'm using the stock pipe with a PPP can and I keep my RPM's at 7700. If you got to a SLP set up you will go down to 73 gram and get the r's up to 8000
