Axys Sidekick Clutching??

Zone28M7 · Mar 1, 2016

Just curious what people are running for clutching on the sidekick setup for the Axys at 8k-12k.

I'm running green/red primary spring with Polaris 70g weights. Secondary I'm running black/yellow spring with stock helix. RPMs are about 8500. I'm thinking I should go back to 68g weights to get the rpms up. I ride from 9-12k feet.

Other than that this setup flat out RIPS!!

Your running 8500 rpm and you want to increase that? I would think you would want to add a couple grams and bring it back down to 82-8300.

According to BD 8600 is the ideal tach. These motors rev a bit higher than the old pros

I know that the Vohk guys are happy with Eriks clutching. I would see if he has something to sell you or advice.

Surprised the stock helix isn't burning up belts (belt getting pulled through the secondary w/o bite)

You mean with my setup or in general?

I tried stock helix for a bit and was blowing belts left and right (turbo axys). Steeper angle fixed the issue.

What angle is the stock axys?

Was your belt deflection correct? What elevation? I've had zero belt issues. I haven't heard of many people having belt issues at all.
Basically what I've gathered, and I could be incorrect on some of this but:

-If running the stock helix with 70g weights you need to run the black/ylw secondary spring.

- if you don't want to change to the black/yellow spring then you need to run the 44 helix.

-If you run the stock black spring with 68g weights you don't necessarily need the 44 helix.

So my debate for MY setup is to either keep what I have, which is black/yellow secondary spring, 70g weights and stock helix.
OR
Stock black secondary spring, stock helix and 68g weights.

Both setups are with stock helix. In a nutshell, the 68g setup with give me a bit better bottom end and the 70g setup will give me a bit better finish with a harder hit. Some of this info I just gathered so I thought I'd share.

Elevation 7-9K
When running stock helix with black/lime secondary I was having issues. Yes, deflection, alignment etc is spot on.
My angle is a hair steep now - I'd like to be flatter but overall not bad. Again, my current belt has 200+ miles w no issues.

FWIW...

Primary spring: 160/310 w/2 derlins.
Weights: 70s

I think I figured out my clutching

Mine is 70g weights, green/red primary and black/yellow secondary. Pulls much harder from mid to top. If you switch to stock black secondary it's a bit quicker pull on the bottom but doesn't pull as hard up top. But still a great option. It's all preference and that's what a couple buddies are running. Both setups are perfect though
