From what I can gather, swapping our a clutch kit is the equivalent of my dropping 1 tooth on the countershaft sprocket on a chain-driven bike, to increase acceleration? The trade-off is the you could lose a tiny by of top end speed due to slightly lower final gear ratios?
Fine by me. In some cases I have seen my bikes actually pick up a little top end speed by slightly lowering the gearing, due to them being able to hit redline(and reach that last bit of peak HP) in top gear, rather than having win resistance holding them back at 150+mph or whatever...
So with a CVT vehicle, this is how you essentially accomplish the same end? Different clutch alters the final drive ratio, to alter how power is delivered, and account for different tire sizes, which of course alter the effect gear ratio? So larger tires, need to be compensated for by altering the clutch to balance it out?
I don't plan on getting huge heavy mud tires. I will stick with stock for now(2014 570 EFI(no EBS)), and when these tires need replacing, stick with stock size or maybe a 26" at most...
Suggestions? Just looking for something durable, maybe a little more snap, and that will accomodate both stock tires and 26" if I should decide to go that route at some point?
What is involved in installing a clutch kit? I assume that it is more involved than a regular sprocket swap... haha
Thanks!
