1. Remove the key from the ignition. Remove the left side foot rest by unbolting it from the fenders and frame.
Remove the zip ties or clamps on the vent hose coming from the top of the clutch cover. On some models you
might have to remove the seat and the left side body panel between the front and rear fenders to gain access to the
vent tube. Be careful not to damage the rubber boot when cutting the zip ties.
2. Using a screwdriver, loosen the clamp that holds the vent hose on the top of the clutch cover. Next remove the
clutch cover bolts. Note the length of the bolts and their location. Some models might have a little metal clamp at
the rear of the cover that needs to be removed, simply take a flat tipped screwdriver and pry the clamp off. Save
the clamp because you will need to reuse it. Remove cover slowly being careful not to damage the gasket.
3. Remove the belt. You can remove belt by squeezing the belt together between the two clutches, this will allow
enough slack in the belt to remove the belt. You can also twist the inside secondary (rear) clutch sheave towards
the rear of the machine and then pull on the belt to get enough slack in the belt to remove it. The primary (front)
clutch is pressed onto the crankshaft of the motor. Removal of the clutch is not required but does make the job
much easier. To remove the clutch a special clutch puller is needed, this tool is available through EPI (part # PCP-
1). Notice the “X” marked on the outside cover of the clutch, on the spider, and on the moveable sheave. These
are alignment marks from the factory and must line up when you reassemble the clutch. If you are not removing
the clutch see next step. To remove the clutch using a clutch puller remove the large center clutch bolt (5/8
socket). You need to use a small bar or large screwdriver and stick it through the clutch to stop the clutch from
rotating while you loosen the center bolt. Remove the center bolt, washers, and any spacers that are there. Thread
the clutch puller in by hand and tighten until the clutch pops off the shaft, you will need to hold the clutch from
rotating. Place clutch on a clean work surface and remove clutch puller.
4. If you are not pulling the primary clutch off the machine OR if you already have the clutch off the machine, remove
the six outside bolts from the cover. Next remove the center bolt allowing the cover and spring to be removed (this
bolt is already removed if clutch is off the machine).
5. With the spring removed you can change the weights. Using a 1/8”Allen wrench and a 3/8” wrench or socket
remove the bolt holding the weight in the clutch. Replace the stock weight with the weight included in the clutch kit
and install the bolt and nut. Repeat the same process for the other two weights.
