Some Scrambler 500 Questions
#12
Mine wouldn't wheelie for crap until I got a pipe and bigger main jet....now I can wheelie on hardtop but usually just spin the wheels in dirt. A clutch kit is in the works, I just have to decide on which one I'm going to get...

Hey BIGBAD, Im going to install a Dalton clutch kit in my friends Scambler 500. I have a few questions to ask if you don't mind. The kit comes with new weights, a helix and two new springs. Do I need any special tools to install the helix? He also has a K&N with a outerwear and a FMF pipe, do you recommend any holes in his air box lid? if so how many and how big? also he ask me to install a set of hot grips and I was wondering is there a 12 volt power source under the front hood or should I run power back to the batterie? If you could help me I would be gratefull.

As for the airbox goes. The scram uses a CV card that requires a vaccum to open the slide. If you put holes in the airbox or lid, you reduce the vaccum. The carb needs to be recalibrated (not just rejetted) in order for the slide to function properly. It may actually run poorer by putting holes in the lid. If he wants to open up the airbox some, I would suggest getting the HPD air box mod. It included a large scoop and all the parts needed to recalibrate the carb. That is the way to go.
As for the hand warmers. I have no experiece with them. I am not sure where others wire them to. But I would thing that the ignition would have a 12V power going to it?

BigBad, I noticed your pics. Could your scrambler do a wheelie before you got the mods? Mine is stock and I've tried over and over and the wheels wont come off the ground at all...

Anytime coolintheice. If you run into problems, let me know. I will try and help you if I can. Also, I forgot to add, the retaining bolt for the secondary clutch gets torqued to 17 Ft lbs.

Hey Bigbad, Come to find out the hot grips where Polaris hot grips, and the instruction said any red wire with a white tracer is a good 12 volt source. I just finished the primary clutch and it was simple just like my Vforce but with one less wieght. I don't have the correct size snap ring plyers so I'll have to buy a new set. thanks again.
