What not to do with a p-85
I (Harley) am running a p-85 on my 503 with an Artic Cat secodary. I put the secondary on before the p-85. I loved it and it is the real ticket to gains when it comes to a 503.
I now have the p-85 on, went riding today, not much snow but enough to tune.
Oh, I put a tunder shift kit in my p-85 also.
First I had in the red polaris spring, dont do there, too much tension. I now have the dark blue with white polaris spring in, 120lbs on the engagement and 310 lbs on the shift tension.
She kicks in nice at 2700rpm.
She is ok off the get go, but then due to a weight issue on the arms, she bogs down in even a foot of snow, no power on the mid range or top end.
Now question for you all am I running too much weight in the middle of the arms or not enough, should I have more weight on the outers??
I am running 6.6 grams in hole #1 (close in), 3 grams midrange, and .9g on the outers.
My arm weighs 37.6 g and and the total weight is 10.5 g for a total of 48.1g total for the arm plus the weights.
What are you guys running for weight on your arms for total weight? And what springs are you using, please give Engagment pretension and Shift tension on the spring as there are so many colors out there for each make.
For you guys with 600's give me a spring and a weight you are using, at least I will have a baseline.
Thanks,
