I just got back from hatfield&mccoy trail in WV. What a freaking blast! Perfect place to break in the TB! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Just got a couple questions. First is I got some water in the belt case after blasting thru some pretty big puddles. I noticed it after a while when it felt like it was slipping. Where did the water get in? The gasket around the cover looks fine and the plug looked good...

I rode for a few minutes when it was slipping but stopped to pull the plug and less than 1/4 cup came out. when as I rode on it started to feel like it had "more power"... more like better shifting. Actually when I got back to concrete I notices that it will pull the front tires from a dig and carry them a few feet. It surely didnt do that earlier in the day. Did I wear the belt out - wear some thickness off it - and thereby giving it a higher engagement rpm?

Next is sometime during the day I noticed that my idle was waaay higher than when I first brought it home. Actually I noticed it by trying to shift from N the FWD and taking a few teeth off (not really, it just sounded like it). A guy at the store down there said this was normal during break in for idle rpms to go up. A few turns of the thumb screw and it was better.

NEXT where is the best place to get that magic primary clutch spring Ive heard so much about? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

You can get a spring from your dealer for about 20 bucks. Next time the belt gets wet, put it in nuetral and rev it up to dry it out.

 

I would get a Dalton clutch spring.

 

Well about the dalton black/white spring i got this

Engage Pretension=140
Shift Tension=320
Wire Diameter=.218
Height=3.5

what does it translate into?

 

About 4-5mph more then stock and a whole lot more pick up.

 

That will work!

I just ordered a rocky mountain catalog. Will it be in there? Or where is the best place online to get stuff like this?

 

I don't think it would be in there, might be thou. I called them and they said That my dealer could order it for me to save on shipping. So I got my dealer to order one for me. But I'm sure you could orde it thrugh them to. It cost me $35 candaian. There web site is http://www.daltonindustries.com/.
