With the DT400 being an enduro motor it has pretty tall gears and 5th gear is major overdrive. Burnt the clutch out in a week. Put in new stock friction discs and steels but still wants to slip when I shift. Going to try heavier springs and cross my fingers. If that doesn't work I will try Kevlar friction discs but definately looking for bigger sprocket for the axle and maybe a smaller one for the motor. 5th gear is so tall I have been clocked at 90+ and wasn't even wound up. Also at those speeds aerodinamics (or the lack there of) wont allow it to go much faster if any. Plus it wieghs at least twice what the bike wieghed that the motor came out of. Will take some daytime pix to post soon.
