Go Oddy what size rims and tires do you run please and with what clutch?
I know I have the wrong size rims and tires, I have researched it briefly and it seems stock is a higher thinner rim.I am thinking a set of Beadlocks
I run the stock clutch that came on the 583 from the sled... I had a 580
Engine from a grand touring sled in my bug and then I picked up the 583 Engine (this gave me rave valves) and swapped jugs made a new exhaust header and pipe... I had the 580 clutch TRA unit on the 583 initially and that clutch had me pulling 7900 rpm approx and I then switched to the TRA from the donor 583 block that came from a formula z sled .. it is clearly setup much differently as far as I can tell thus far...pulls more revs up on the top end... couldn't quote an rpm .... guess maybe 8400...i need to take her out and make some notes... for my records and to pass on to others...
I run ten inch rims with 22 inch tires... used bigger tires but that chewed up my slipper clutch...
I use beadlocks that I picked up from Bones at OMF.... locks outside with reinforcement ring on the inner lip...
I also wanted to mention that with the 580 series engines you can change the Engine power traits so much by the carb choice... I had 38 vm round on it.. tried some bigger units I think they were 44mm (not for me)
the bigger carbs took my low end away and I do 99.999% of riding on trails ... I now have 38TM flat slides
http://www.powersportsuperstore.com/Mik ... lick=35177I think it made a world of difference.. It idles great pull very strong from a dig and I don't, thus far, wish for more on top....
I hope this is helpful... but I also want to be certain that you know I do not own a Drakart.. this is my setup for my Pilot... It might or might not matter... I don't know the final drive ratio on the trans in the Drakart so wheel, tire and clutching setup may not be applicable... but the engines I am familiar with...
