Default P85 Clutch

Gotta load a used P85 that I was given. For the 04 600 what would be recomended for spring and weight combo? This would be for running about 1500' .

I guess what I am looking to do is get rid of the Light Switch type throttle and add some top end speed. I run at such a high RPM just to drive around my fuel mileage sucks! Clutch set up with the P-85 conversion and what gearing are ya running. On the 600 and 503 for our fellow Hawker!!! Sure would love to see 90mph down the grade!!!

I run the p-85 and have for three years. I ride 1800 6500 ft and i put 60 gram weights in as a base with the almond blue spring. I could not pull the weight and ground my weieghts to 55.5 and it RIPS butt i like a HARD engagement and it pulls 8150 all day long. I would recomond going to a cat secondary or tighten the **** out of the spring in the stock one. If you like a softer engagement you can run a dark blue spring most polaris shops have a spring chart or i know you can find them on line to help better tune your clutch. i also run our chain drive and geared it for my style of riding ... Mountain and boon docking. Trail set up i would change the tune big time. My hawk will run in the high 90's acording to a gps mph reading across a flat lake . Hope this helps and if you have ?'s just give me a call.

Thanks IB. Thats the info I was looking for. I would like the softer engagement so I will run a lower initial spring rate! Where did you take the weight off, heal? What elevation is it happiest at? I will be pretty consitant at 1500 +/-. With hopefully a trip west but can change the set up for that!

Very little trail and lots of Yooper boondockin'. Still gotta play on the trails a bit though and it is tight and twisty around these parts.

yes i took it off the shoulder i tried to keep as much wght on the tip as i could. Just make sure you have your secondary set stiff. I would recomend starting at 60's and tune from there like i did as a rule of thumb every 1 - 2 grams is worth 100 rpm not always just a good rule of thumb. hope this helps.
