Some of the moped guys lighten their clutch shoes rather than buy stronger springs to create a later engagement. Obviously it's a nonreversible modification vs. changing springs. Are their any serious negatives to this approach to transmission tuning?
I'm cheap and misplaced the big pack of springs I bought.

yea, you weaken the metal in a part that's spinning at high RPM, probably unbalance it, and get one chance to get it right, just buy some springs

I've often had to do both to get the high RPM engagement I wanted. A stepped drill bit makes it easy to remove the same amount of material from each arm...  |

Any notes on grams vs. rpms when lightening them? I figured I'd find a spot in between webs to the outside, use the drill press, use the digiscale and Dremel for final equalizing.

do both if for other reason than to learn. buy a couple sets of shoes and a couple sets of springs. just make sure you have a scale so you can weigh the shoes to get them all close to the same weight. and remove weight from the same place on all shoes.

That's part of it, I just want to see. This is a planned experiment on a stock Eton I'm fiddling with. All I want to do it raise the engagement a little to compensate for the fact I took it from a really restricted stock pipe to a more open stick pipe. My performance bike has a Malossi Delta on it, so it has a adjustments for days built in. |
