red spring on a t20 clutch

[kestianj]

is it possible to install the red spring wrong ? it seems like the clutch is not opening all the way like it did with the old spring ,or is it not ssuppose to?

did you make sure that you lined everything up with the woodruff key and i think you need to twist it also as you put it on so that the ramps are touching.

yep did all that just figured it out , it was the throttle and now ..... this thing is awesome !!!!!!

What is the Big Diff with a Red Spring.. I have a MAXII and hear about the "Red Spring" a lot..

Did it make that much Diff..?? Is it low end power..?? Does it engage at the same RPM..??

Any info would help me..

Cheers..

The red spring holds the clutch in its "closed" low range position longer, thus giving the user more low end torque before opening to its "open" higher range.

Kestian, it is amazing how much of an effect the correct throttle adjustment can make in this situation, isn't it? I was not all that impressed with the red until I got my throttle cable adjusted right, and then YIKES! GET OUT OF TOWN MAN!

before I had the throttle right I could barely turn on the concrete now it turns quick ,even burns a little rubber ,I cant wait till I get to take back out to the trails!!!

Either of you guys care to tell the steps for installing the red spring? I have the spring but I'm not certain of how to go about switching it with old 2-stroke spring.

Thanks!

pull out the tranny , remove the clutch, I soaked mine with wd for a few days and it came right off then take apart the clutch (it all comes apart after you remove it from the shaft) watch out for the little key thing , slide out the old spring,push on it a few times and say wow thats weak compaired to the new one, put in the new one , slap it back together and walla...hope that helps

Almost sounds too easy. The old clutch comes off pretty easy. Sounds like the 2nd step is even easier.
