What color are the 3 CLUTCH ARM PAD springs. I think what you got is a performance Clutch with colored springs yellow red or blue and what that does is require a lot more centrtifigual force to throw out the pads to grab the bell which to do so REQUIRES much higher rpms to turn your wheel. So you probably ran out of RPMS and that is what is causing your MPH LOSS.
Same thing with the CONTRA SPRING if it is colored sameo sameo.
If so take your SPRINGS from the old clutch and put them in the NEW clutch and you will be fine.
Alleyoop
it came with a yellow contra spring and 3 blue arm springs. i already swapped out the yellow contra spring before i initially installed it. that is when i realized the torque drive/sheave (whatever you call it) has a great deal of resistance on the new clutch. swapped that out with one of my old ones and it is working well now.
only problem i am having is the blue springs seem too stiff. the clutch doesn't engage until 5,500 rpms. i did try to swap those springs out also but oddly enough my old springs are longer and wouldn't work. attempted to bend them without success. so put the blue ones back on.
i thought blue was rated at 1000 (the lowest)? can i buy some weaker springs?
it's fine the way it is now but i would prefer that it engaged around 2,500-3,000rpms.
