ok not a fan of the double D clutch

[2stangs69-91]

:bang head: had it installed for about 6 days just broke something in the driveshaft or final drive. I notice (before) when I shifted about 9500 rpm it sure jumped hard. Well I was getting ready to go on a ride tomorrow. No ride for me :angry flame devil:

Most DD users (me too) seems to be running fine. At least I never heard any complain.

Im sure that someting in Your tranny/drive went bad and not becouse the DD.
It just comes faster by this way.

 

[2stangs69-91]

lol no I do not think so everything was running just fine except for clutch slipage. it is a 06 so everything was pretty new. It happened right when it hit secong gear.

Sorry to hear your bad news
I have over 6000 miles now on my DD with no issues. Bike still shifting and performing good as new probably better.
Good luck

I have the PCW clutch kit but it's about the same as the DD I believe. Only thing I noticed was the lever went further out from the bars before engaging....guess this makes sense though....more spring pressure, more hydraulic pressure required to compress.

Otherwise, no issues at all.

Well I did actualy like the clutch operation until I pushed my bike home lol.

Bustin up the drivetrain down the line means it's working right. Now you get the heavy drive shaft from Blue Ridge Mountain and a fresh ring out back or even a Venture pumpkin out back. Keep cranking it up till a gear goes bad. Ah the life of a Maxer!

Go chain drive and get rid of the shaft & differential all together!!!! Better acceleration, HUGE weight loss, and you can change your final drive ratio!! WOOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or you can just fix the busted parts. I would imagine whatever failed was on its way out and the timing was completely coincidental.

The DD is far stronger then the PCW spring (and smokes the Barnett). I prefer the vmax shaft since it leaves a weak link. I had a sportmax shaft and tore up two blocks with it. If you get too much traction something is going to give. I ended up bending the crap out of the supposedly indestructible shaft and then when measuring found out it was 1/8" too long. I think it was binding into the block and basically slamming it when hard shifting.

I still prefer the DD setup.

I would say you broke the drive shaft. Don’t go with the Sport Max Shaft; go back with a stock one. I would rather break another shaft than to break the transmission. Think of it as a fusible link. But if you’re going to bang on it go with a PCW or Stock spring or plain on putting another shaft in it.

 

[2stangs69-91]

Ok drive shaft clean snap. I am going to have to work on just blip the throttle and shifting at high rpm.

 

[vmax_nc]

Yea man that DD Spring works good don?t it. A friend of mine carries a spare shaft with him when he goes on a trip. He has broke two of them.

Sorry to hear about your probs. Once i eventually get my max back am going the DD conversion from Sean after the exhaust is set up. Mental note from your experience
