TC 96 and SE clutch spring install results
I've got an '07 bagger running a TMax A/T with Jamies tuned Rush slipons. It was making more torque than my OEM clutch could handle when speed shifting, especially into 5th and 6th causing the clutch to slip.
I installed the HD Screaming Eagle clutch spring today and reset my clutch adjustment.....All together it took an hour and I reused my derby gasket. I got the spring for 20 bucks and change. So total cost was equal to a decent lunch and two drinks.
My friends, that is the best 20 bucks and an hour I've spent all season.
My scoot hooks up now at the lights and almost jerks my hands off the bars when I shift. Shifts at WOT on the on ramps into 2nd lifts the front wheel 4-6 inches insteada the 2" I was getting before.
This has to be the cheapest, simpliest. and most rewarding mod a guy can make using nothing more than basic hand tools and nothing else.
I strongly suggest you pick one up next time you belly up to the parts counter-just toss it in your parts bin to await your next fliud change and clutch adjustment.
The OEM spring measures .065" thickness, the SE mics out at .080"....... That .015" extra thickness makes a HUGE difference without increasing lever squeeze too much!

So with my 103 build and evo 30 tooth sprocket, what would this clutch spring do to bennifit my bikes performance? Any thoughts or has anyone running similar numbers as mine got any experience with this?
Thanks,

Good on you for finding a cost effective fix. I think if you stop speed shifting it may add life to your clutch. Let us know how long your clutch lasts.

By the way, I am not interested in speed shifting on a regular basis. I do get on it every now and then but I am interested in if this would be beneficial for helping controle the power to the ground without tearing anything up.

I just saw some dyno sheets with that being the only change between runs.
I got one then. If I have time at work tomorrow I'll find it and post a link.
