I've had my RX3 on the road for a couple weeks now and I love everything about it except for the very narrow clutch engagement point. Is there any way to modify the clutch to broaden the engagement point? Would different clutch plates or maybe a longer or shorter push rod make a difference?
BTW, I now know why so many of you have gone to the 13 tooth countershaft sprocket. Clutch slipping with the stock CS is a little excessive. I was thinking of trying a 46 tooth rear sprocket with the 14 tooth CS. I found a chart (that I can't find now) where you could enter different sprocket sizes and calculate the final drive ratio. and it showed a 13/44 setup would be, I think, 3.38 and a 14/46 was 3.22. The stock 14/44 final ratio was ,I think, 3.00. If I went to the 14/46 would that be enough to ease the clutch slipping? Thanks.
