2009 ST400 slipping belt on hills

[COURTESYCART]

there is a torque spring out there that limits how fast the rear clutch opens up. you can try that. Our site sponsors has them.

I just got in a NEW 2011 st400 and it has 22" stryker tires on it and i notices a slight decrease in pull going up a hill compared to the old st350. I just dont like the new kaw setup. I have notice the belt slips more on those than the older versions. I have yet to figure it out.

I have even roughed up the clutches for a better bite on the belt and they still act up.

EDIT: i just read your other thread and with the gov adj for speed you will loose bottom end torque. If you want to climb hills back off the gov. It will prob perform better.

I hate to disagree with a respected member such as yourself but, There is no possible way adjusting the governor will reduce torque, Full throttle/power is the same regardless if it is applied manually or by the gov.
