Default wheelies ..teflon

Well I got my Savage SS 4.6 all together...and I was reading on hear about how horrible the stock clutch shoes are. So I decided to get Mugen (sp?) white teflon clutch shoes...Now break in is done and im at about 3/4ths of a gallon threw, and no wheelies...Do you think its because of the extra slippage the teflon shoes are allowing?...also when I hold it WOT to top speed it dosent seem like it wants to shift...(or I cant hear it)...then when I get up slowly to full speed I can hear it shift....(it is not the slipper either..I wrenched it down)

Probably need to tune it more But be sure to keep your temp below 280.Don't know nothing about the mugen shoes as i use an xtm slidding clutch and that works awesome on any terrain.

If you have the 18t clutchbell on, it'll make wheelies REAL hard. IF so swap it with the optional 15t.
