To start off, I’m not working on a sled but a Yamaha golf cart with a RZR 800 motor. But this forum, by far, is the most knowledgeable about cvt tuning. Here’s my issue:
The cart is using the stock Polaris P85 primary with an EPI red spring and the stock Yamaha secondary. Ideally shift rpm would be 5800-6000. Right now it’s only 4000rpm. From 4000 rpm to 6200 I’m in over-rev and mph and revs climb until I hit 53mph and the rev limiter. The acceleration is lacking as its upshifting way too soon. I essentially have only one speed; shiftout is happening way too soon.
Idle is 1200rpm and engagement rpm is 1500. That seems low but it makes for comfortable driving around town.
I need to get my shift rpm up about 2k rpm which I know is a lot. There are three ways I can do this; a primary spring with a higher end rate, lighter weights, or a stiffer secondary. Most people recommend changing rpm with weights but can I change rpms that much with weights or should I start with the primary spring? Or should I stiffen up the secondary and pull up rpms by making the primary work harder. Everything I’ve read says the latter is a no-no.
I’ve spent hours on this forum and have learned so much and look forward to any help you guys can offer me.
