c1 pocketbike luggin powerband!

i was wandering if there was anyway to make my bike hit powerband faster it takes forever and if i go up a small incline it will just bog real slow and wont hit powerband! i put a new racing clutch from pbu on it with the springs adjusted out as far as they can go! please help, maybe its the race springs not sure???

When you say out as far as they will go, do you mean loose? they need to be tight and all set the same so all three shoes open at the same time.

If you have a way to measure (Dial or digital calipers) The springs should be 21mm from end to end when they are tight enough, Another option is if you have or can get a tachometer, the clutch should not start to open until around 8000RPM.

If you start the bike and sit on it, and start to rev it up, you should get all the way up past half throttle and almost all the way the 3/4 throttle before the bike starts to move, The water cooled bikes are not like other bikes that have a clutch set to open at a low rpm, the water cooled bikes need to rev almost to full throttle before they make good power, so that is why we set the clutch to open SO late .

sorry it took me so long to write back, ya the clutch was opening up way to early, i set the springs at 21mm she takes off like a charm! THANKS!!
