josht Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 I recently purchased a 2003 boy 50 for my son. The clutch does not want to engaged until very high RPMS. Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p@ul250 Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Not Normal, It's been a few years since my lad was on one. But as far as I remember the steel clutch plates are available in different thicknesses and the bite point is adjusted by varying the pack thickness.

feetupfun Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 you can change the RPM that the clutch drives at by either doing what paul250 said, or by changing the clutch bobweight spring settings. Our 2010 model GG50 clutch engaged at too high RPM when new and I got it to engage at much lower RPM by removing two of the four bobweight springs. You could also change it by reducing the bobweight spring preload. I suspect that the same motor might also be used in a kids MX bike and all the motors are set up for that application. It only takes a few minutes to make changes to the clutch settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
