someone told me i should sand my metal plates,he said it would grab alot more,did you guys ever see this done before...

 

i haven't seen it but the steel plates do have a cut to them by that i mean they look like they have been sanded already. but i have heard the sand paper thing also iguess if they slip much they can glaze, i took this to mean the friction plates after looking at mine this maybe what i had.

 

What you're talking about is putting a little bite on the primary clutch sheaves. Do you have an automatic? If so, that's what your guy was telling you about. It's used frequently for short run snowmobile racing, they use a fine emery. High hp vehicles will tend to slip the belt easier and this helps grab it better. The effect will soon wear away, though, and won't give you any long term advantage, imo.

 

gt2 are talking to me or to sandman???

 

Either way, Now that I look closer, we're probably talking about different things. YOu have a DS, correct? And it has a manual gear shift? If so, then, disregard my post.

 

hey what part of the up are you from!!??

 

QUADMAN650 SAYS:

I JUST TOOK MY STEELS OUT OF MY DS650 AND TOOK 600 GRIT SANDPAPER AND SANDED THE BLUE OFF OF THEM IF YOU CLUTCH IS THE LEAST BIT SLIPPING YOU SHOUKD DO THIS NEW CLUTCHES WILL NOT STOP THE SLIPPING SAND THE STEELS AND YOU WILL NEVER HAVE THE PROBLEM AGAIN


TYPO STEELS NOT SPRINGS

 

I have been told bead blast the steels. But Sanding sounds like the easier ticket. Why would sanding the springs do anything?

 

Brandon, sand the springs or the steel plates?

 

how hot did you get that clutch to turn the plates blue? mine were a steel color.
