That's awesome, thanks for commenting! Weight helped me (a little), but the Adapt clutch helped a lot more. I have a tune by Speedwerx, and that helps a little, as well.

Just checking in - did you end up getting the Adapt clutch? Just curious what your experience has been, if you got it.

Wow, so the new clutch didn’t make a difference, but gears did? I wondered about that, but it seemed more like a clutch problem.

@@ponycarfan like I said my 850 backcountry does the same thing but worse. The p drive is supposed to be the best, but I think that is just a matter of opinion.The adapt clutch is certainly the way to go. I found it’s a lot more quiet at idle than the team primary.

I agree. I’ve seen reports from people online who tested different weights along with different springs and had some success. However, it seems like the new clutch has a greater chance of getting it right the first time. I’ve got plenty of time to think about it, and am still not sure what I’ll do.

Holy crap you guys are trying to turn a high performance 800 into something that sounds like you should be riding a 500 give me a break. Don't tame the beast just saying let her buck

@@toddwarner1619 no but it should be smoother between that range like he is saying. Sometimes you have to ride respectfully through towns and can’t ride like an idiot WOT

@@toddwarner1619 That’s one of the options I discussed in the video. I understand what you’re saying and appreciate your comment.

And if you really think about it that's probably when your power valves are starting to open really if you can't handle it buy something smaller I just can't believe you guys.

That’s a good question. I went back in my notes from Jeremy Houle and asked him about this. Unfortunately, all I have written down is that the primary spring was different than stock. The H5 alloy is superior, because it holds up better than the stock springs. The secondary spring is the same, but alloy makes it last much longer than stock. That’s all I have written down, unfortunately. They put 75.4g weights on, with weights that could add a couple grams more. I think stock was 73 or 74. Because the weights didn’t change dramatically, engagement is same as stock - 3,800 and top rpm should be stock, I have to wonder how much different the primary spring actually is. I feel like the Speedwerx kit was good, and for those trying to get more performance it’s probably worth it. However, I was just trying to make everything work better. After going with the Adapt clutch, I think the Speedwerx mods weren’t the right solution for me. I liked working with them, and Jeremy was very generous with his time, answering questions. But, in my situation, I spent money on something I didn’t need.

Excellent idea, and I hadn't considered binding in the secondary. I agree, that would be cheaper and also a better use of my time this off-season. Where would you recommend I get the shim? Thank you for the advice!

I believe ssi or slp sell the shims you need I’ve ordered directly from both places online before and parts came quickly good luck on figuring it out.

I agree, it's the nature of the beast. I think the new clutch has improved it quite a bit, though.

@ponycarfan glad to hear that and a new clutch isn't bad, aha. I am looking forward to trying the adapt out if I order a new sled.

That’s a great suggestion! Thank you! It’s too late for me, but hopefully others will look into it.
