7-10,500ft
I took the spring out of my primary and bolted it back together, then moved it in and out, about 1/4" before the sheaves touch the clutch binds and sticks. Then with the bolts removed and hold the cover on it slide in and out easy, not only on the last 1/4" but the whole way.
So with a load on it I would say its binding all the way.
One of the bolts did not want to go in easy so I opened that bolt hole 1/32" larger and it seemed to help without the spring.
But when I rode it there is something wrong, (get back to that)
I also found there is some bind in the secondary spring, it does not let the spring twist and it works more like a torsional, but if you where at anypoint in the shift and it did twist-- it would work like a backwards torsional and really mess with backshift.
So I machined the helix and took 2 thrust washers/torington bearings and put them in the helix. Basically a shift assist. I also left out both plastic washers.
Heres the prob.
By freeing up the secondary it should have pulled down rpm in two ways, 1st I took the spring bind out, 2nd I removed both plastic washer and the shift assist is shorter than one washer (so not much but still pulled some spring pressure).
On the trail it felt like it wouldnt shift, rpm's would spike way above where they should (well over 8300) which I have never seen, so when you wack the throttle there is instant rpm spike and then it tries to pull.
Then on the hill (few inches of fluff and hard base) they spike but sometimes would only hit 7800 and then climb to 8-8100, or sometimes spike and pull down to 77-7800 and then back up. Later in the day it started to hit 7800 and in a flash hit 8050. But you could hear it.
My take is the longer I ran it the better in got like it was re breaking in the bushings. But with the MDS weights (tip loaded) in should have shifted sooner without as much rev up before the shift, especially with a freed up secondary.
All I can think is my primary is binding, as the secondary should be better then ever.
I also added motor mounts and still got a little chatter once in a while.
I also set my clutch alignment exactly at 1.484, I had a belt that was pulling cords and it stopped, heres to hopping, but with the other issue I am getting to much heat, not extreme but to much and after back to back pulls in harsh throttle you start to smell the belt just a tad.
