put a venom pink/red spring and adjustable weights at 77-78 grms and your good

 

Purple red?

Remember the 16, 18+19 act way different on engagement than a 17 does. That spring may put you around 40-4100 engagement.

 

4000 is not bad. Just giving you a headsup. If ssi is running the new helix they offer i think it will work well. They dont use that 54-48 anymore i believe.

Im not sure what primary spring they come with. Im betting its a 120/265 silver spring. Which may be ok. It may act a little rev happy unless you load the tip. Since cats are usually a 225-235 finish for that particular sled

 

Venom has a purple white which is 120/240 i may try out. The 225 stocker works ok. A 240 would possibly be snappier in the trails without causing the need for a ton of tip weight. And should keep engagement around 39-4000. Depending on weight design.

 

Purple red is @140/265 when measured at the installed height of team clutch with delrin washers, it will engage at 3300-3500 with 77-79 grms. accelerate on your torque and run out on hp peek. use the adjustable weights to hit at these points. or purple/green will give you more rpm on top which youll load tip to control.

 

That engagement is on a 17 though correct? My 17 engaged at 3150 stock with a 105/255. When i ran the 130/250 purple/red it was around that 3400 mark. I ended up running the 160/268 purple/orange to get 4k enggagement.

Where my 2018 engaged around 3650 stock with a 85/225. Im going to run a 100-120 start rate and 250-265 finish on this sled.

2.7/1.7 rates.

 

I have the ssi clutch kit on my 6000 and I'm needing to adjust my magnets this year different than what BD recommends cause I couldn't get mine quite dialed in last year.

 

The kit came today and for and finish look nice. I set up the weights according to their recommendation but I think I now have a problem. I after adding the magnets I decided to take out my handy archery scale and weigh each weight. Each one weighs different. I ended up getting 78.4,79.1 and 79.4. Has any ever weighed weighs to make sure they were all the same? Should I be concerned?

 

I'd try weighing them empty to see if its the weights or the magnets. If it the magnets maybe you can weigh them all and get it closer.

 

Yeah i have run into that with other weights as well.

 

the weights are cheap junk soft metal. Watch the bushings they blow out because the weights oval out. The owner of SSI is also a bad dude and was in jail last a heard for stealing money from bikeman when he worked there

 

My SSI weights started to groove/deform after about 1000 miles. Junk !!

 

Hey bud...i recently seen your post about your ssi clutch kit...I just picked one up...O was womdering if you have any other feed back...
Thanks

 

I run the and they have been fine. You will have to tune the weights to your needs and riding style but overall it has worked well.

 

They are great I agree but Thunder Products Clutching is really where it's at.

Cats 19..what do you recomend from thunder...just there weights?

 

Cats 19..what do you recommend from thunder...just there weights?

Ya the Heavy Hitters! If you call - talk to Terry and tell them exactly what your sled has as far as mods(if any) spring colors - they will tell you exactly the set up for the weights. You can also send your clutch to them and have them do it.

 

Thanks cats 19..only thing i did is re gear..im gonna try this set up out and see how it goes..I will keep the heavy hitters and terrys name in my pocket in case I have a problem or dont like the ssi kit..
Thanks for your recomendation..
