ENGAGEMENT
2,400 RPMs
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch. Remove the seat, the small body piece between the seat and the clutch
cover, and the right side foot rest. Note the length of the bolts and their position. Remove front and rear vent lines.
Remove the plastic clutch cover being careful not to damage the gasket.
2. Once the clutch cover has been removed take the aluminum clutch guard off. You now should be able to see the
complete primary clutch. The clutch is filled with grease and must stay that way. Do not remove any grease unless
it is on the outside of the clutch, on the inner clutch sheaves where the belt rides, or on the belt. If any grease is on
these areas it will cause belt slippage. Clean these areas with contact or brake cleaner that doesn’t leave an oily
film.
3. Remove the large nut that holds the primary clutch (normally 22mm) on. Once the nut has been removed pull the
clutch off of the machine. Remove the thin cover plate and the rubber o-ring. Carefully slide the inside plate up and
out of the clutch. Do not clean off any grease unless necessary. This should reveal eight clutch rollers.
4. Remove one roller and press the inside weight out of it. You can usually use an 18mm/19mm or 11/16 socket and
push the weight out by hand. If needed, set the roller on a 26mm or a 1 1/16 socket, set the smaller socket on the
inner weight and lightly tap with a hammer to remove the inner weight. The weight can only be pushed in one
direction, make sure you are pushing it out the right way or damage can occur. Press in the new weight supplied in
the kit and place the roller back in the clutch. Repeat this step for the remaining rollers. NOTE: If your kit has
two different weights, be sure to place them directly across from each other (or every other one). This
keeps the clutch in balance. Make sure you have all eight of the rollers in the proper place and position. Install
the inside plate making sure all the rollers are in the proper location. Put the rubber o-ring and the thin cover plate
back on the clutch. Place clutch out of the way and start working on the secondary clutch.
