Finally got the Dr Pulley Clutch in my C600 Sport tuned to my liking. I had to order weaker clutch & pillow springs from Dr Pulley since all of the extra springs included with the clutch are stronger than what it comes installed with. The weaker clutch springs cause the clutch to engage at a lower RPM and the weaker pillow springs cause the clutch to fully engage and stop slipping at a lower RPM. Now I don't have to rev it to the moon to get it to take off. Also makes it much easier to ride at slow speeds and causes engine braking to continue longer until engine reaches a lower RPM. Sweet, as increased rideabiliy was always my goal with installing this clutch rather than increased performance.
It made a world of difference. I can now ride as slow as 20 mph without the clutch disengaging. I can also take off from a dead stop with just moderate throttle and don't have to rev it excessively just to get the clutch to initially engage. It doesn't accelerate quite as fast from a dead stop, but the loss of initial acceleration is minimal as the engine has enough torque to still pull away smartly. I'm guessing that it will greatly increase clutch life as well since the clutch slips a lot less than the stock one does.
