hello guys my name is adam harvey. i'm sure you've seen the other clutch thread about the machine work i do. first of all i want to say i am not here to advertise, i'm just posting these pictures and images to show you what the revolt clutches are like, and how they can be improved. again, this thread is strictly for imformative purposes so please dont ask me how much this work costs
redline rovolt clutches taken apart.
notice on the secondary pictures, the distinct line towards the center. the shiny silver part is where the belt already rides and has the surfaces polished slick. the yellowish brown part is where the belt does NOT ride. it is part of the sheave that has never been touched by a belt therefore it stays dirty. my main goal in order to increase top speed is to get the belt to the base of the secondary. the further down in the secondary the belt goes, the faster your top speed is.
in order to get the belt to the base of the secondary, i have to do some tricks to the comet to get the belt to ride higher, as well as machine the secondary to get the belt lower in the secondary. i cant give away how i do it, or what exactly i do. thats trade secrets. but i CAN tell you that i do not machine any structural part of the comet, nor do i decrease the structural integrity of any piece i machine on. nothing i do will hurt the ridability of the machine, nor will it negatively effect any aspect of the performance of the machine. your ridablity and reliability will still be top knotch just as it was before guaranteed.

on the comets, they are identical to a polaris clutch except that your comet has a 4 ear spyder and the polaris comet has a 3 ear spyder. the polaris comet uses 3 weights and usually average 55-70grams each. your revolt comet has 4 weights and they seem a good bit lighter. you can change the ramp angle of your weights in order to get a quicker shift-out, or lighten up the weights in order to get more RPMs before shiftout. there are alot of options with the comet. the TEAM secondary does not have many options other than what you are given unless you go into machining special helixs' with different ramp angles to uncrease or decrease shift out.
on this primary and secondary assembly i did, i expect to see some midrange acceleration gains, and about 12-15mph top speed gains. we'll see what the owner says when he gets them back.
