Bushing and Top Speed? - ATVConnection.com ATV Enthusiast Community

Ok maybe someone can give me some light here, I have a buddy trying to convince that when I change my belt that there' this little white bushing in there somewhere and if I take it out Ill get more top speed. What the hell is he talking about? Im sure its in there for a reason.

Thanks

Im pretty new to world of ATV's and working on them. So far Ive learned a great deal from this site, but this just sounds odd to me.

He may be talking about the small washer in between the 2 halfs of the driven clutch. By taking the washer out your "suppose" to get a better bite on the belt

Im going to see him this weekend, I have a new belt on the way so Ill ask him "what he really means" and then ask you guys.

It is called a limiter...it stops the primary clutch from upshifting any further(ie closing)once it hits the spacer. IMO..if you don't know what it is don't mess with it..

I dont have a clue but he seems to think its a good idea to take them out, I guess he did it with his 500
