How to tune HiT Clutch
Basic
Conventional Clutch —–
The grip force comes only from the centrifugal force and the friction coefficient of the wear pad on the clutch weight.
HiT clutch —–
The grip force comes not only from the centrifugal force and the friction coefficient of clutch weight, but most importantly from the compression mechanism—push pin & pillow system of HiT Clutch
Benefits of HiT Clutch
- Grip force much stronger
- Clutch slippage much less
- Stop losing power at takeoff
and re-acceleration - Transmission efficiency of
clutch system much improved - Excellent throttle response
- Excellent capability of hillclimbing,
roundabout and overtaking
Tuning HiT Clutch
The unique mechanism of HiT Clutch can provide solid engagement to upgrade the acceleration and riding performance of the vehicle.
Various combinations of actuation timing of HiT clutch, performance of engine and CVT transmission may result in different behaviors of vehicle as the following:
- Very powerful at takeoff to jump into the air.
- Solid engaged to have powerful takeoff and comfort riding.
- Solid engaged to have powerful takeoff but having vibration at takeoff.
- Solid engaged but upgrade not obvious.
The pillow springs and clutch springs originally installed in HiT clutch are optimum to upgrade the vehicle to enable powerful takeoff and comfortable riding. When the tuning of HiT is required, first select the clutch spring and then secondly determine your preferred pillow spring by testing different pillow springs with the selected clutch spring.
Troubleshooting
Problems | Possible Causes | Suggested Solutions | |
1. | Powerful takeoff but unable to jump into the air.* | Engine power too weak. | Tune the cylinder. |
Actuation timing too late. | Replace with softer Pillow Spring or use no Pillow Spring. | ||
Engaged rev too low. | Replace with harder Clutch Spring. | ||
2. | Powerful takeoff but no riding comfort. | Actuation timing too early. | Replace with harder Pillow Spring. |
Engaged rev too high. | Replace with softer Clutch Spring. | ||
3. | Powerful takeoff but having vibration at initial stage. | Actuation timing too early. | Replace with harder Pillow Spring. |
Engaged rev too low. | Replace with harder Clutch Spring. | ||
4. | Smooth takeoff but solid engagement not obvious | Belt slippage** happened in the front driving pulley. | Replace with heavier roller. |
Belt slippage happened in the rear driven pulley | Replace with harder torque spring. | ||
Belt slippage happened in the pulley | Replace with a new belt. |
* It’s dangerous to actuate the throttle fully and suddenly when softer pillow spring and harder clutch spring are used at the same time, as the vehicle might jump into the air abruptly to cause serious damage or injury.
** The belt slippage can happen in the pulley due to the solid engagement and less slippage with the clutch bell. The abnormal surface temperature of pulley can be taken as checkpoint to see whether the belt slippage exists.
