OK, Whats the silver bullet on making the Nytro NOT decelerate so dang hard when you let up on the throttle?

Once again it seemed like the sled wanted to toss me over the front end several times today when it would stop so quickly the moment I let up on the throttle when going slow in the trees.

There has to be a way to let this thing slow down more gradually.??

The tried and true method is "Adapt"
Changing a habit is free, you could spend a bunch of time with clutch weights and in the end have something different but it will take longer to set it up than it will to train your thumb:face-icon-small-hap

It is a problem with the nytro. It is VERY jumpy around engagement. One thing I can recommend is to keep a little throttle on at most times. That seems to help a little bit.

This isn't an issue at speed.
It's only a problem in the 5-10mph range.
The reduction of just a little thumb pressure results in the sled STOPPING rather abruptly, which all too often means I eat the handle bars again.

There has to be a happy medium out here somewhere???

Nope. Like was said above, you eat the bars enough times, your thumb will learn to keep the rest of you on the right side of the bars. Self preservation is a wonderful thing. Your thumb will save you if you keep at it!

you can suspend the forward inertia that is accelerated by deceleration by initiating a fastening system in the back region of your outside garmet in the central region which will be likely pant belt height..from this you can then accommadate a bunjie to be fastened to your rear bumper...this should limit the intrusion of your body into the forward off limits of your sled that you are currently trying to avoid...or like suggested above...train your thumb..

Perfect.
I am good at being the guinea pig.

And I am HIGHLY motivated to stop eating the mountain strap on my handlebars when I let off on the throttle at low speeds.

I don't know what a primary spring alone is going to do.

Part of me is thinking that a higher engagement is the way to go. As to the reason you are on the bars, I think part of it is the engine breaking, then part of it is the very aggressive engagement. I know that I stand bracing for the torque you get hit with at engagement, that when that torque is gone and you slow down you are off center and easily fall forward.

I noticed when I was playing around with my clutching, that a higher engagement allowed for a much much smoother engagement. Something to think about. I should probably put mine back higher again.

Well, what the heck, I ordered one of the spring kits.
Might as well give it a try and see what happens.
Easy enough to reverse it back to stock.
