Default what does the secondary spring do?

I installed a HSP kit in my brothers 500 scrammy, and when we put in the secondary spring in I noticed it was alot longer,and softer then the origional spring. what is the purpose? and when we preloaded the spring it said just turn 1/8 turn,and to make sure that it is in the #2 holes. The quad seems to accelerate alot better, but the top-end seems to have suffered.

Any suggestion?

Don't let the hp numbers fool you. Its all in how you get it to the ground. Clutching clutching clutching!

Your secondary clutch mainly controls the back shift and belt pressure.2-2 is a good stiff shift but could cause you to loose topend.TRy 1-1 and see if it has a better topend.

Thanks for the reply! I was beginning to think no one liked me in here[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

How come the stock spring almost takes 2 people to "preload" the two seperat discs,and the HSP prings was so soft? Whats the purpose of this? and after wards I notice theat on decelleration the belt squeals.

You actually want to turn the clutch 1/3 turn counterclockwise (unless HSP has a differnt way of preloading the clutch??? than everybody else)
