Alright, here goes. Im pretty much a newbie to this whole 'clutch' thing on a sled, Im pretty new to the sled world actually, I was just curioous if there are any good online sources or even some good books that i could red explaining clutching in great detail. Motors = No problem, ive been playing with 2 strokes for years, I just dont fully grasp the concept of clutching.

Basically, what I want to be able to figure out, What happens when i change this, or this, or this, Know what I mean?

Im trying to figure out clutching on my own, but man, clutch parts are expensive, and winters only so long in michigan where you can ride to play with this stuff, so if ya screw up, yer screwed for a while.
:wink:

Or, if someone would recomend a good setup for me, and explain what everything is doing that'd be great. Im trying to figure this out, but if someone can explain it to me quicker, and give me a somewhere to start, that'd save me a lot of headaches.

BTW I have a 95 EXT 580- (carb) with stock clutching, well, stock everything in the driveline (so far, im doing the motor this summer, and getting a set of twin pipes most likely)

I want a good hard accelerating setup, engaging around 46-5200 rpms. Ive got 144 studs, so it hooks up well, its just that the clutch engages at 3200 RPM right now or something like that, im not 100% sure on that number though, and it seems to bog it down, not being in the powercurve at all of the motor.

As always, thanks for the advice folks.

Your stock engine and a piped engine will have different clutch set-ups. Clutch kit re a simple and quick way to get going in the correct direction. Don't do anything until you make your engine mods because you will be spending money twice. shane
