Nice pictures! The '79 and '80 Drifters used the Arctic Cat Hex clutch. The '81 Drifters used the Kawasaki clutch, like the Intruders and Invaders used....with different springs and ramps, etc.
Nothing wrong with the Hex clutches...they tended to wear the center bushing out...just like the SkiDoo square shaft clutches did.
The shop manual says your '80 Drifter should engage at 3500 RPM, and hold at 63-6500 when shifting.
If your clutch is original, it should have a yellow spring.....an Arctic Cat spring....not a Kawasaki clutch spring.
A green spring was offered as an option, which was slightly stiffer, and would raise the engagement slightly.
Your spring might have lost a little bit of its "spring" over the years if it is engaging much below 3500.
Those Hex springs are still available from lots of places, if you decide to replace yours.
It sounds like your Drifter is running well if your seeing near 60 mph!
