savage 25 slipper clutch??

[Badkitty]

I've already burned mine out. after only about 1gallon. Is that normal for normal use? I drive it for a few minutes everyday...but mostly on the weekends. My parents have a 3/4acre of dirt in back yard, of which i've made a nice track and run about 1-2hrs every saturday.

ALso is there an UPGRADED slipper clutch? Thanks

That's perfectly normal for the slipper clutch to wear out over that period of time.

There are many slipper clutches you can upgrade yours to. Take a look at the savage X dual slipper. It's supposed to be pretty good.

Sounds like you might be running it too loose. I've been running the same spur and slipper pad (never taken apart) for 14 gallons.

 

[Badkitty]

so does that mean your running it completely tight and not backed off any turns?

 

[olds97_lss]

No. I've tightened it until the spring was completely compressed, then backed it off 1/4 turn. I normally loosen it about 1/8 turn when I put on my 15T CB vs my 14T cb.
