Thanks Acefire,
but I’m not looking to change the low end gear ratio…. I use the Low Gear for any intricate and slow crawling and that ratio seems fine… The low engagement spring will help with lowering the initial “grab” rpm on the belt… again something I’m looking for…😎
My concern is with the “running” rpm. I have found that with the addition of some heavier accessories and cargo, coupled with my recent addition of the 28” “harder to roll” tires, my normal running rpm has increased about 700-900 (guessing) rpm. It’s like the bike is in too low a gear and is racing to try to keep 30 kph.
im thinking that with the additional weight and tires, the bike needs to “gear down lower” to keep the bike rolling resulting in a higher rpm to keep the same speed.
Will the additional fly weights in the primary counteract this or is this more of a Secondary clutching issue? It’s like the secondary is not allowing the bike to “gear up” to allow the rpm’s to come back down.
I am very willing to sacrifice the quickness and power (Can am has lots to spare) for a more subdued and smooth ride. I am looking to lower the operating rpm and trying not to kill the torque.
Any advice is appreciated 😎
