Sorry, my analogy probably wasn't clear.. the flyweights act directly on the shift drum.. no clutches.. I used to lighten clutch shoes on my R/C race cars (the shoes looked like the curved flyweights, only made from a teflon type material that worked inside of a spinning bell, much the same concept if you were going to try and lighten the flyweights).. I know the spring mods work

Hope you rehab that knee quickly..
