Default UTE clutch question

When going to bigger tires do you need heavier or lighter weights or just some that have a differant shift point?

Depends some times just a stiffer secondary might do the trick and sometimes we run heavier weights or same weight weights with more tip weight to prevent slipage at wide open. When you say different shift point weights? Do you mean light tip, normal / medium tip. or heavy tips? Other wise as far as I know there really isn't a weigth that allows you to pic a shift point you cankind of control it with the tip or profile of the weight other iwse you would use the seocondary spring or helix to control how fast or slow you wanted to upshift.

Well it really depends on a lot of things tho...Size of tire, weight, width all come into effect...if you have a heavier tire you will need the clutch to engage sooner and tighter (also depends on the quad your putting them on)...My 600 has 26" Mudlites and it has a stock clutch...the twin cylinder turns them over fine since its got pleanty of tourque and doesn't allow much slippage on the belt as long as i don't baby the gas..and the tires are light compared to most larger tires...it justs depends on your model

You got what I meant but shift point.
I will try a heavier secondary spring and check what weights are in it stock (it is a 97 425 magnum.I belive it is 10WH if so I have a set of 10MBs to try)
Thanks Brad
