Primary Springs- Primary springs have some overlaping uses. The springs are usually compared by using their pressure
load rating at two intervals. The first load rating is often referred to for engagement(stall rpm) first load number on a
primary spring is the principal component to control engagement rpm.
The fully compressed or second load rating is used as the principal opposing force to the flyweight. Stronger fully
compressed load ratings are a factor in how much flyweight mass you can run.You can often switch from one primary
spring to another and leave flyweight mass the same if the second load rating on the springs are within the same zone and
have minimal effect on top rpm.This is useful for those who like to experimant with engagement rpm. Engagement rpm
is a personal preference . It is good to have options for this.There are optional spring load rating charts available on
r “components”
Secondary Springs- Secondary clutch springs are a component that has many overlaping features . Its principal function
is torque feedback sensing,that is that it initiates backshifting of the belt to proper ratio to maintain rpm. The secondary
,however does have effect on upshift characteristics.CVT's are about efficiency. Proper balance of components for
efficiency is the way to good belt life. The key to preventing slippage is having the belt in the correct ratio at the right
time.
A general rule of thumb is to only use enough spring pressure as necessary for the situation. Excessive secondary spring
pressure can cause inefficiency and prematurely wear belts as bad as not enough pressure.For many Can Am 800 cc
applications(stock up to 28” trail/mud tires) the stock secondary spring is sufficient and you are best to use our regular
kits. This clutch kit is the DBO 800M for extra large tires and mud use. Included is a heavier than stock secondary
spring. A heavier secondary spring slows the upshift which is a good characteristic if you are running huge tires and the
resulting taller gear ratio. If you change components in a secondary clutch that slow upshift and increase rpm,it , in some
instances means you need to add primary weight to re balance the system and get proper shifting rpm.When you get into
extreme mud tires the combination of this stiffer secondary spring allows you to add back some flyweight mass and again
have a balanced system with the appropriate spring for the big mud tires.
Renegade/Outlander- These two models have different flyweights from the factory,not just grams,but different in
general. This set up guide you will notice has different set ups sometimes because of that. Some tuners prefer to order an
extra set of three Dalton adjustables and do their own tuning with all 6 Dalton weights,a slight advantage for some who
like to experimant on their own ,but not necessary, as using 3 stock flyweights in each are sufficient if compensated
correctly. Replacing only 3 flyweights gives you improved performance, cost effectivness, and adjustability.
FLYWEIGHT SET-UP (DBO 800 M clutch kit )
The following set ups are for use with our most popular green/yellow primary spring and the yellow/black
sec.springs included . If you would like lower engagement order Tan primary,or higher - yellow/red (see spring chart)
For use with the stock helix cam**
28” Mud Tire -30” trail mix tires- 29.5” and bigger Mud tires
Outlander 800 .85g aluminum rivet Outlander 800 empty (some have used 6 Dalton w/alum.)
Renegade 800 2.4g hollow steel rivet Renegade 800 .85g aluminum
** Alternate Set Up – for use with the secondary Helix Cam from a 650 Outlander(on a 800)
This mod is not part of this kit or part of a Can Am 800 ATV.Some mud runners like to experiment with the shallower
angled helix cam from the 650 outlander. A shallow helix cam angle SLOWS the upshift even more but in a slightly
different way,and thus increases rpm during the clutching phase. This helix will resist the rear sheaves from opening and
even more add belt pressure on the secondary clutch. The result is that you need to add even more flyweight mass to
balance it and get rpm correct. Is this for everybody?,no,.it is often more revvy in the midrage cruising,..but for some
who frequent the real thick ,sticky mud and that is their principal riding area,this set up works well for them.It seems that
this set up is more often used by those that spend most of their riding in low range,moreso than riders that still do a lot of
trail.. Only YOU can decide if you would like to experiment with this mod. We have included a common flyweight set
up guide for the 3 Dalton weights when using this mod for referrence.
