Did the new spring help with the jerky clutch engagement at low speed. I don't pay much attention to the high RPMs any more, I use mine more for farm use than trail riding. Trying to back a small trailer or log splitter with this thing is a real pain in the ass with the stock clutch.
 
I really never had that problem and I do a lot of mountain riding. Did you do the brake in right on the belt?
Yep just like the manual said and first service at the dealership. They're others that have complained about the same issue and one of the mechanics at the dealership even commented about other ridge models doing the same thing. I believe someone here on the forum started a tread about having the same issue. For the price of the spring I may give it a try.
Thanks
