Have a 2002 T-Cat with 500 miles, c/w 1.4" track, digitron EGT's, 310 mains and MBRP silencer. *Sled is mostly run in 1500~1800 ft range on open trails, (very little twisty bush trails). *Looking at installing a clutch kit to improve performance. *Would like something that gives better acceleration between 30~70 mph, and also improved holeshot. *Not concerned if slight loss in top end occurrs. *Anyone have a set-up that works well? *Had a '96 ZRT600 with a heartthrob kit and roller secondary - really performed well.

Thanks

Hello Northern Rider, have you ever used V-Force Reed Valves? Some people swear by them others say there no good. I have a 2000 T-Cat with Reed Valves and I noticed a difference in low and mid range. I'm not a fan of clutch kits, you may or may not spend more money and get a better set up by buying various weights, springs and helixs seperately.
Look into the Reed Valves, they seem to work well on the triples....

Hello AKCAT, thanks for the info.

I have not tried reed valves as of yet. *I did try a 57-53 helix in place of the 57-50 stock helix on the secondary. *Seemed to give better performance.

My dealer has recommended to try a 62-52 or similar helix, with heavier weights and spring in the primary. *They do not recommend gearing it down, due to increase in track spin at take off. *Even with the 1.4 track I still let loose a nasty rooster tail when you hammer it down.

What type of reed valves are you using V-Force or Carbon Fibre? *I have reard stories that the carbon fiber reeds are better.

Couple buddies both have 2002 SRX 700's that are streached to 136" x 1-1/4" tracks, and it's all I can do to beat them in a 1/2 mile race. *(both 700's are still stock otherwise). *They are actually beating my neighbors clutched and jetted ZR800, (2001).
