I have a 93 wildcat 700. I was looking to play with the clutch set up a little. I want to get more rpm. mine is done about 7500 rpm. Motor is stock the primary clutch is a comet not sure spring colors I will get back to u on that. can someone help me understand what to change on a clutch and whatever else might be helpful. Thanks Tony :confused:

:hallo1: This is a 1/4 mile set up 95 700:
Stock weights, Yellow/Green Primary spring, 57/50 or 58/54 Helix with stock yellow spring.
Your engagment should be around or close to 4000 rpm.
Max torque is around 8100 anything over that you will start to lose a little power.
This seemed to work good in my 95 700.

About your 7500 rpm is that run in a field on ice or a road?
To get a true reading you should run it down an ice track or a road with solid hard pack or little snow.
If it still reads 7500 on ice, check secondary belt height/deflection and or replace your springs.
I could go on and on but try that out.

Hey guys thanks for the response that was on a lake but it had about 5inches of snow on it. It seems better on some other trails I am playing with my carbs for it just doesnt seem to rev all the way out. I think I might of hit 7800 r's today.

First of all, you need to find out what your MAX power RPM is for your particular sled. Either by the manuals, or if you modded the engine at all, get it tested on a dyno. Going up any higher in RPMS will NOT raise your top speed ANY. You'll actually lose top speed, not to mention damage the motor. I did a radar run this last weekend, and played with different clutch settings vs. top speed at the radar gun. Lower RPMs actually got me higher top speeds. It was a long run (about 1 mile).
With a sled that old, at least get new springs in your clutches if they are still original. Take them apart and clean them. Replace anything worn. If you're not getting top rpms that you should, that could easily be caused by a worn out primary spring (causes your clutch to close up too far too soon).
