Green vs Red torque converter spring...

[frostyflammable]

So I had an eBay special torque converter, 30 series, laying around the garage and decided that one of my mini bikes needs a toque converter. I read a lot about the different color springs and this one comes with the red spring pre-installed. I understand it is different preload depending on the color (plus there are the three holes as well).

My main question is for a CT200 should I go get a green spring for the driven or just leave the red. Pros vs Cons of doing this on a mini bike with 19" wheels. I also plan to use a 8t/50t sprocket if that matters on the 19" wheel.

Thanks.

Green is from Comet.
Red is from China.

Same spring.
Different Color.

Yellow Spring is stiffer for more bottom end. Won't upshift as quickly.

Ahh, that is good to know. Since I will be using this bike 50/50 off road small hills and off road straight, is the #2 position just fine for the pre-load?

Thanks

2nd Position should be fine.
I would switch the preload setting with the stock spring first.
Switch it to the third hole (most preload) and see how it responds. If you like it better, you can try the yellow spring.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will give #2 and #3 a try see if I like one over the other better.

Thanks!
