First, I do not own or have I used a clutch alignment tool. Just wondering if one is better than another. Is there a better clutch alignment tool for AXYS?
2XUse only the one designed exclusively for the AXYS CVT. Ninja Plumber sells the best aftermarket ones on ebay and much cheaper than Polaris version.
After talking to a number of experts, and running large float on my own sleds, I do not know of any problem caused by extra float on the secondary.What is the detriment to floating the clutch say another .060 in either direction and making sure it has room to center properly?
I have never understood why if a floating secondary is ok .....we dont give them room to float and make sure that it can get to where it wants to be.
I am asking here as I dont know and there may be a good reason
The recommended minimum spacer is 12 gauge. That's .059", not .150" as stated in parenthesis in the shop manual. The concern is that at full shift, the secondary inner sheave doesn't rub against the tunnel or other protrusions. With stock 22/37 gearing, the secondary won't reach full opening until around 120 + mph. Besides, it naturally will tend to float back outwards after 1:1 ratio if secondary is floated.Good advice Ninja. I went down in offset bushings until I had barely a gap at the front of the Secondary. Ended up with just 0.040" gap at the rear rather then 0.068". I left the same float washers so my float is now around 0.090". I didn't see change at all by rotating the clutches. Much more satisfied with the set-up now but the offset bushing stack is now only 0.095" which is less that the thick washer that is recommended. I guess that's the price for not having electric start.
