    I still do not see the need for a 82 HP motor to run 6,000 to 7,000 RPMs at highway cruising speed, when not accelerating.

    The Rkyer certainly is responsive, but 33 MPG cruising is not a plus point.
    Exactly. That’s why I think it would be as simple as replacing the spring in the secondary clutch with a softer spring. Primary is more or less tuned for the engine power band, secondary kind of sets the ‘gear ratio’ to the final drive. I know it’s not that simple, but that’s a simple explanation. Well at least until you get to full clutch shift. Hard to tell what we can do with cruising rpm without knowing what state the clutches are in at said speed. If primary is fully closed and secondary fully open, tuning won’t help at all. Maybe we just need taller tires? Ha
