I just installed a QSC Clutch kit in the 850. Now its really hard to shift and especially doesn't wont to come out of low. It shifts just fine with the engine off but when you crank it up its extremely rough. Any suggestions?

Did the revs change ?
RPMs must be 1200 +- 50

It idols at 1240 just as it did stock I didnt install any shims

did you check to see how the belt aligns to see if its riding on one side..you may need a shim to even it out

Belt looks straight. Were do the shims go ?

Agree with al53, Ryan can and will help.

As for your question though, There are shims behind the secondary clutch. When the clutch is pulled, there on the shaft next to the case. You tube videos show where they are to help you with a visual. Worked for me

Try adding a shim to the primary. Maybe you got a spring that's out of spec and its letting the primary close a slight bit at idle.

I found out I didnt align the "x" on the secondary. She is fixed now. Im very pleased with the QSC kit. I just feel like a dip shit for messing up.

Like I said in your last post, a clutch kit has no affect on your shifting of gears. One thing to note, you always have to make sure you don't lose the washers that are behind the secondary, missing those will throw your alignment off. Sometimes they stick to the clutch then fall off when your not watching, lol!!:cowboy:

Ya I didnt lose the washers I just didnt align the x marks on the secondary

Glad it was an easy thing. Enjoy it now that you have it working right.

Each bike has washers on the front and back of the secondary; they "shim" the clutch to be direct line up with the primary so that the belt is not influenced to 1 sheave face over the other - thus creating drag on the belt which leads to excess heat and hard shifting. (he didn't lose these)

The X-marks on the secondary is in reference to the back of the secondary. Some models have "X" stamped or raised from the metal so that you can align the clutch upon re-assembly. The "X" on the helix lines up with the "X" on the secondary housing to form an "X l X" at the meeting seams to ensure proper re-assembly. (he didn't do that)

Yep what he said^^^
