Ride report coming...
Just finished installing the RKT torsion kit. install was easy, brand new 046 belt to run with it. Also shimmed the motor to the riders left to help alignment. Am running a 38/36 progressive with sno pro green and light inner compression spring. will be reporting after this weekend, though the snow looks like it will be spring conditions...
Excited to see how the clutching does.
so far - only one ride on the kit. Tried it with the sno pro green spring and the inner compression spring with the 38/36 progressive helix. Was making a chit ton of belt heat and started pulling cords in less than 40 miles on a new belt as i think the compression spring was too much in combo with the sno pro green. so pulled the inner spring and ran her. Pulled harder and belt temps decreased, track speed increased and backshift was still good. was riding 1ft of soft slush so not a good comparison to what i had been riding, but the sled was an animal, even more so than before. I'm still fighting a belt eating issue that i think is an alignment problem. so once i figure that out, i can really say how much better i like the RKT kit. So far though, i am happy with it. Running one hole stiffer than center right now. Kelsey told me to back it off one or two more holes though w/ sno pro green spring. Was pulling 7700 rpms all day though. So she's close. Was passing XPs in a climb like they were at half throttle!
