So I just dropped in a 6.5 honda clone with a stage one kit from hotrod mini bikes, I upgraded to the max torque clutch and got a new chain. I put it all together, lined it up pretty good (I think) I rode it about 75 feet total and came back to the garage, the clutch is smoking hot, just as hot as the muffler... I am 225lbs, but I am thinking I have something incorrect. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
i simply took it for a test run after assembling it all, so i would call it putting for sure. I was scared to put the throttle to it, as i wanted to make sure everything was set up right. The clutch came with a set screw and a key, my honda clone is keyed, so i have the key in, and i put the set screw in, but is it needed?
I didn't say that at all. Or at least I didn't mean to. I use the standard max torque with stock springs for a higher rev flathead that's putting out a bit of power.
You can change springs to increase clutch engagement RPM. IIRC, the original springs are the 1800 RPM and the lowest engagement speed.
Didn't see your post on the 3100 RPM. I bet you were just pussy footing around, testing, and that will always cause the clutches to get hot. They like everything or nothing.
You have more of a drag race clutch, then a trail bike clutch in other words.
