Mugen springs and shoes.
I just purchased mugen clutch shoes. I want a later hook up than stock, as I can not seem to idle the engine low enough to keep the shoes completely off the CB. What size of spring do you recommend?

RE: Mugen springs and shoes.
i use mugen shoes and use 1.0mm springs works well. but revo eater is correct if u want later hook up them 1.1mm springs, the 1.1mm hook up later than the 1.0mm. but still the 1.0mm hook up latertham the stock ones

I went with the 1.0's. I was worried that they would hook up too late because they are soo much stiffer than stock. But they do the job. I think I may end up going with the 1.1's though.

I ran 1.1's on mine for a while. There is not a really big difference, mabey 200 rpm more before they engage. I now run 1.0's because last time I replaced my shoes my lhs was out of the 1.1's. Either way it's a major improvement over the stock clutch.

That is pretty much the same thing as the LRP 28 spec 3. $10 cheaper though, so I guess the question is which company has better customer service and replacement parts.

1.0s will hook up later than stock. i run 1.0s and they're great, but since my truck finally doesn't wheelie anymore, i might go to the 1.1s.
Why would your truck wheelie and then not? Losing compression?
