Need Clutch setup advice for 2016 Axys Pro RMK

Blackspade · Oct 13, 2017

Hi everyone! This is a subject that has probably been went over before but I had no luck finding it.

I live in WI and have so far only ridden my sled in the UP, but taking a trip over new years to WY.. going to be riding at 8-10K ft. It is a 2016 Axys Pro RMK 800ho w/ the 155x2.6 track.

Looking to stay with the stock clutch (turbo going on next year) looking for weight and spring advice to get the most out of this thing on it's first trip west.

Thanks for your time

Pretty much just look in your manual at what they say for 8 to 10k if everything is stock, then buy those weights. Spring should be good.

SRXSRULE · Oct 13, 2017

If your still running the factory primary spring (120/320), the only change you need to make is clutch weights.
10-62 for 8-10,000 ft
10-60 for 10-12,000ft

If most of your riding is going to be closer to 10,000 OR your a bigger guy, go with the 10-60's. If your a lighter guy or riding closer to 8,000 ft go with the 10-62's.

Thanks to both of you!

I should've mentioned that I did look at the owners manual.. I was wondering if anyone had experience at those elevations

SRXRULE.. what would you consider a lighter guy? I'm about 205 in shorts.. probably 215 geared up to ride.

I'm only going to get one shot with this set up.. I'm looking for any advice/experience anyone has

For stock or close to stock, stick with what the manual says.

If you want to start playing and messing around with clutching...........

SLP blue / pink primary
Black / Purple secondary

Weights are close but as temps go up, start looking at slightly lighter.

Where are you going to be riding?

The recommended stock clutching "per elevation" is pretty decent, very hard to improve on.

It is...we have farted around with a few different combos, and you can get different characteristics....but more performance is debatable.

Generally speaking, sled clutching and suspension settings are figured on a 180lb rider. Ive found that to be pretty accurate. You are above that mark, but not by bunch.

Where are you going to be riding at? Ive ridden a lot of wyoming so I may be able to give a more accurate recommendation based on a specific area.

Sage Crusher · Oct 13, 2017

I live and ride here in Wyoming-
Where you going to ride at? Maybe I can help a bit-- but SRXSRULE is pretty much spot on!!- We find a tighter Higher rate primary spring 140-330 and the 62's works well in the nose bleed elevation's.

235lb rider fully dressed w/ Avy Pack.

As mentioned the weights will probably dial you in pretty close. You could also consider a set up from Carl’s Performance in Boise ID. They sell a Helix, spring , weight combo for these sleds that works well in the mountains up there. I have used these on the Pro and Dragons and have been pleased.

If you are going to get a hole kit. Get what Tony (TRS) runs. Or INDY Dan's full kit. I tryed 5 of the more popular kit's out there and they all fall short.

ynotride · Oct 21, 2017

10-60 and you are done. And you will look like a hero to your buddies. You nailed the set-up.

Clutching

You will need to buy the Helix from Carl's, and use the stock primary and secondary springs. If you use the 140/330, you will have a harder hit on the bottom end, but it usually trenches more rather than jumping up on top of the snow. From 6-8K we are running 64 Gram belly busters, or 66G if you have the SLP pipe. In combination with the roller bearing we sell, it works incredibly well, and the only thing you will need to change based on elevation is your weight setup!

If you have any other questions, give me a call at Carl's Cycle @ 208-853-5550 or shoot me a PM!

Thank you everyone for the advice!

Sage Crusher and SRXRULE.. Might be chasing the snow a bit, but looking like we will be around the Togwotee area at this point.

It's looking at this point like I'll be the "underpowered" one in the group haha. The only other N/A sled heading out from our group so far is a new Doo 850. It's going to be a blast making this thing dance to keep up!

Sage Crusher · Nov 11, 2017

There are many thing to try and some good advice on here-
If you go the TRS route ( which is a tried and true BEST ) you need to do everything 100%.

The 140/330 is not a trencher primary spring. IMHO..there is debate on the roller bearing in the secondary.
Some serious improvement can be had with out spending $$$ on a magic clutch kit.. but knowing your sled is paramount, they all react differently while being clutched identically!!

I appreciate the knowledge!

I'm going to shove a turbo in it after the season, going between a silber and a sidekick right now (a topic for a different thread, I know).. being I'll be doing all new clutching with that, looking to keep it stock for one last season

wisboy25 · Nov 12, 2017

I'm running Chad's kit in wi and out west way better than stock also bmps kit would rock also

green_denali · Nov 13, 2017

clutching

like some one said above

slp blue pink primary spring
slp black purple secondary spring
riding that high, use a 60/38 helix
put delrin washers in your secondary, they're cheap
get some exhaust valve springs from slp for your elevation, theyre cheap to.
Get after market weights, stock weights suck, I run slp mtx weights in mine, they are much better, you will feel a difference.
