Vulcan 2 speed problems
i upgraded my vulcan with a 2 speed tranny... its kinda hard to setup as it changes everytime I run my car.. kinda strange
I have already opened the darn thing and check what makes it tick... Its not a clutch type... it has somekind of catch that lock on the screws bolted on the gear.... not a good design i guess...
THe main problem is the small spring than hold that locking mechanism.. When i start running the car.. it holds okay.. but as you run longer.. the shifting become shorter... during just in a single run you will have to make adjustments on the 2 speed...
has anyone had a chance to fix this problem?
here is my test run this morning.. you can see how abnormal the gear shifts...

ah yeah.. there is another thing.. if you get the timing wrong on the 2 speed.. and shift longer.. there is a tendency to break the spur gear... I had broken 3 already.. just because of the wrong shifting...

RE: Vulcan 2 speed problems
got the 2 speed up and running.. need a real heck of tuning to get it to shift right... hehehe.. the toki motor has good power.. not close to a Picco Zero but did its job well with the 2 speed... tried to take some vids.. but it was a little late. kinda dark... ill try to take some tomorrow morning... see if the Vulcan will have a good run...
the metal gears really hold well... no more stripping problems....
