I think you'll find the o or x ring chain might be a better choice with longer lifespan..Think about your chain getting wet every ride, then rusting in the pins.. keep her well lubed... I cant see a cvt with no lateral movement breaking chains..

Its done!!!!
well boys and gals, i got it all put togather. and its loaded on a trailer to head to Travis616 house to so he can help me dial everything in. i had a hard time geting it to start. had to put fuel in to the spark plug holes to get it to fire up and then it wanted to rev out of control. i did somthing wrong when i hooked up the carbs! im sure Travis will fix it. ( because i dont have a clue )
take a look at my new foot pegs. they are extra comfy to stand on now. and yes, i like pink.

Tough guys wear Pink !
What bothers me with the pink straps is that it doesn't match the red spring though so you need to borrow some of your daughter's paint and paint it Pink too !!! Then it would look killer !
next year everything is geting gold plated for extra pimpness.
its 4 in the morning here and im taking off to travis house. wish me luck boys! hope i get in a little ride today if we can get it all fixed and tuned up quick.

the red spring was to color cordinate with the red snow trackers! hes got it all figured out...xcept the carbs
well it was a long day but we got it all sorted out (well Travis did)
looks like when i put it back together, i over tightend the choke and throtal cable! after they were losend it fireed right up. gen 2 800ho pipe is very nice! not at all loud.
first things first! this thing rocks. almost too fast. i could barley ride it at first. but then agian it was my first ride of the season too! had a hard time following Travis through the ditchs from hell. he is one hell of a rider.
need to still work on the suspension. the 350 springs in the skid are still not enoufgh. would bottom a little too much. looks like im gonna have to go to 400lbs to 600lbs progessive when i can come up with some extra cash!
now i just need to get out and ride this thing. hope we get some more snow around here. hows the snow where your at Eric?

got nothin for ya....all trails closed.supposed tobe cold tomorrow and 1" of new snow. then back to warm above freezing temps for the next 7 days...
so after my first day out, i thought i would take off my clutchs and do some twiking! looks like i never got full shift in my primary. i know the the tra3s never get to full shift but this looks a little off. i think i am gonna need to lower the start and finish on my secondary. i thought it was very fast the way it was. cant wait to see how fast she really goes! also tightend my chain. and need to wrap my pipe agian. came lose when i was riding. plugs look good running 520 mains!!! man this thing can pull. also need to move my top shock/iddelrwheels shaft to try and stiffin up the suspension.
here is my clutch
here is the helix options in my tss-04
wondering if i should change this or not? its on the 54-42-31 seting now i could change it too 56-44-31

Secondary clutch
You may as well try it in the other setting, the larger the number, the faster the upshift. It will pull even harder in that setting if it doesn't pull the engine rpm's down too much (shouldn't be a problem!!). Were you actually winding it out in the field that night? It might take a good stretch of wide open throttle to get full shift. Just be glad we didn't get to the bad ditches....

i wanna come up there bang the ditches!!! need a passport 1st...
As long as there's snow, in the ditches we'll go!!! Come on up, always great to ride with another hawk
top rpm
what kind of rpm you getting. looks like your getting the clutch hot for flat land riding. that 800 should pull 7850 top rpm. if you pin it out of the hole it should get there right now and hold it, if it drops rpm your upshifting too fast. If your not getting the top rpm take out some pin weight. I think that helix you have should work well. JMO

i was think the same thing as JL. clutch looks like it got real hot. reminds me of an aluminum bicycle rim with rim brakes and the aluminum starts to melt away on the brake pads. does your belt have any aluminum particles on it? or did the clutch look that way bfore you ran it?
