hey I was just wondering what might be happening with my secondary clutch. It has play on the shaft. Bought it 2nd hand from the dealer and has 400 miles on it. I took one of the 2 small washers out behind the secondary bolt. Has anyone else done this or is my secondary sticking?

? Sorry I just watched the video Tony had on about the.030 of float. It went back in. Thanks for the reply though. Also have a different smell coming from the sled. I don't know if it's just the VES extreme oil or what. I went for a quick 2 mile rip and it never overheated but it smelt like it was going to melt in my driveway after.

What sheetmetalfab said, put it back in there it's supposed to float on the shaft. I would recommend asking before changing stuff if your not sure, that is a good way to cost yourself a bunch of money.

Yup totally agree. I removed it just to see the fit difference. Seemed odd to me having some play, but if that's the way they are that's great. Thanks

If it has been sitting all summer it's hard to say what is smelling, most likely something in or on the exhaust pipe or can. I would ride it again and see if the smell goes away or try and identify where it is originating.

Ya it was strange. Wasn't the belt or electrical smell. Just wasn't sure. My first ride with it. Could be the exhaust like your saying.
