For greater acceleration replace your XB12 primary sprocket with XB9 sprocket tooth count (34).

If you would like your motor to spool up quicker, lighten the rotating mass by using an Aluminum sprocket.

I have a brand new one for sale $160.

which one did you use off that site and can you use it in an XB????
 
My bike is a '04 XB12S

I replaced my clutch, basket, cage, sprocket and final drive with CNC Aluminum parts from Evolution Industries.

I have an extra brand new sprocket for sale from these guys. Pic is posted
 
Point Doc, it's over my head also. What are the advantages with the Evolution clutch, basket, cage setup?
 
It's about removing rotational mass.

It takes energy to move an object. The more mass it has the more initial energy it takes to move it and then to maintain this motion. This energy does not make its way to the rear wheel, it has been used.

If you reduce the weight, the energy that was used for the OEM setup should find its way back to the rear wheel.

The stator rotor weighs in at 3lb 10oz. The XB9 sprocket is 3lb 6oz, the XB12 is more! These two items are attached to the engine crank. This weight reduces the throttle response.

The OEM clutch assembly is frickin heavier. I do not have the specific weight available.

If you use the CNC'd aluminum, there is a reduction in weight.

I have also cnc'd lightning holes in my stator rotor to remove 7.2 oz of mat'l.

In the end, the motor spools up quicker. Providing the rider harder acceleration from idle to the limiter.

I hope this is helpful.
 
firechickenXB9R,

If you could be specific, I will be able to answer your question. I have several items from them.
 
A personal note:

I choose to go this route for modifications verses any other primarily because of fuel mapping. I wanted to stay away from it and in principle keep the motor and map stock.

I felt this was a simpler way to gain power to the rear wheel and this is done by reducing any unnecessary consumption or restriction of the delivery of this power. Simply put, use what I have as efficiently as possible.

For those of us who do not have access to a dyno, exhaust gas analyzer or the time to data log, this was the only safe option. This mod will allow the motor to deliver its power with less restrictions and zero time remapping/tuning.

This is my personal opinion and I am sure others will vary.
 
I am interested in all you have done. I have been thinking about putting a new clutch in my this winter. Can you tell me (and maybe pics) of all you have done. Maybe part numbers and price?

Thank you.

P.S. It would be so sick to be able to see that Clutch basket. I may have to work on fabing that![confused]:eek::D[cool][cool]
 
pic is on evolutions web page.

I have over 40 mods. I will put a list together,it will take me a few days. I will post up by Friday if not sooner.
