High Lifter Outlaw Clutch Kit for Arctic Cat 650 V-Twin 4x4 (04-06) - Manual (Page 2)

5. EPI recommends cleaning your clutches when you have them off your machine. Use a clean rag or towel with
contact or brake cleaner that does not leave any oily film. Clean all parts of the clutch except for the clutch
bushings. Solvent can damage your bushings; just use a dry rag to clean them.
6. Using a press or a compression tool compress the secondary spring retainer to release pressure off of the snap ring.
The compression tool is available from EPI, part number CCT510. Remove the snap ring and remove spring. If one
of the metal rollers has fallen out of the clutch remove the bottom spring retainer and open the clutch about half
way open. Using your fingers or a needle nose pliers place the roller small end in first in the open slot and push in.
It is normally easiest to install the roller when it is located in the center of the track. All four rollers should look the
same and be in the same location. If the roller continues to fall out you can put a small dab of grease on it and then
install it, the grease will help hold it in place. Close the clutch and install the bottom spring retainer. Install the EPI
secondary spring, compress the spring and retainer and install the snap ring.
7. Place the belt on both clutches making sure the arrow on the belt is facing the right direction. Most belts have an
arrow indicating direction of rotation. If your belt doesn’t, be sure to install it so that you can read the part number.
In either case, always run the belt the same direction as it was new. Slide both clutches on the machine at the
same time. Install the secondary clutch nut and torque to 69 ft/lbs. Install primary clutch bolt & washers. Torque
the primary clutch bolt to 69 ft/lbs. Torque the secondary clutch nut to 69 ft/lbs.
8. Check for proper belt deflection. Belt deflection should be 22-27mm (.87 - 1.06 inches). Using a straight edge on
top of the belt, push down lightly on the belt to remove any slack and measure the distance between the belt and
straight edge (see diagram). Refer to your service manual if a change is needed.
9. Make sure the sensor switch inside the clutch cover is in the ON position. Install the plastic clutch cover carefully to
get a good seal. Install the rear vent tube and the electric actuator.
10. Go out and ride your machine in your normal riding conditions. If the performance does not seem right, double
check to see if everything was installed properly.
NOTICE: Even with this clutch kit, you should be advised that using substantial throttle when the tires are not able to
spin can cause the belt to slip and damage may occur. EPI recommends that the transmission be shifted into low
range when high load, slower speed situations are encountered. EPI is not responsible for any damage to the drive
belt or any other original equipment component.
