When I mark the primary clutch on my 2000 600 ZL carb and go for a run. It does not close all the way still have over an inch of line left. If I loosen the secondary spring my top speed falls off, if I tighten it up the top speed climbs. I don't have a over rev everything seems normal. Run super just not much top end, goes like crazy till it tops out at about 87 mph on the GPS (still no over rev). Buds 600 ZR EFI hits about 98 on the GPS. He's about 60 pds lighter than my 300 pd bulk and a few inches shorter than my 6'5" frame. The carb model is supposed to have 5 more hp than the EFI so that doesn't explain anything.
I heard of the clutches having burrs where they slide together causeing them to not close fully. But these people also have an over rev, which I don't have. My question is seeing as how tightening the secondary picks up top speed and the fact that I'm no light weight. Would gearing down help top end in this case or is there a clutch setup that would work? Need a little more speed for the lakes.
