Kawie are you reading? KRX TURBO bulletproof from the showroom. There's not alot to do to be on top of the game! The power curve can be tune and bring midrange snappy, top speed 75 would be good ! Get to work!
Absolutely love mine ! Support and quality are 2nd to none
Thanks brian!
Great video and info. We shared it on our FB group for the KRX guys
Nice thanks for watching! How’s the Pro XP situation?
@@DerangedOffRoad Well the situation is still a situation... lol. Hoping to have things worked out this week so we can move on & start working on our next car!
@@DandiOffroad hopefully sooner then later! 👍
Thanks for this video! Been looking forward to a clutch improvement!
It’s way easy to install as well!! -Garrett 👍
On a side note, thanks for all your videos. They have helped me in my decision for what sxs to get and what to add!
No problem thanks for watching! -Garrett
Dang. I watched right coasts video a couple of weeks ago and was curious what the kit did for low end.
Thanks. I’ll wait to get it off of your guys channel.
It’s up for pre ordering now! 👍
Awesome ! 🙏My KRX has an ALBA performance tune and EMPIRE DUAL exhaust, trinity makes a decent single outlet as well for less money ,I highly recommend it ,I would love to see you take that rig to new heights ,huge improvements in drivability ,that's how they should have come stock .love your videos waiting for your modification list to keep growing 👍 keep up the good work!!
That’s the plan and I’ll have more on the tune I did as well to come. 👍 -Garrett
Thanks for another great video. I have about 400 miles on my KRX and am still getting used to it. I think the clutch work will be something I will do in the future. My main fix is going to try to figure out how to seal the cab from all the dust coming in. That is horrible. Keep the videos coming.
I’m working on that as well 👍
If the top of your weights are wearing than the rollers are worn but always check the side to side play of the weights on your pins because bushings are first to go. Good video
Great video!
Even though I don’t have a CVT I can remember tuning my Rhino 660 clutching years ago and it does make a huge difference!
For sure! I don’t know much about all of this but I’m learning a lot. -Garrett
@@DerangedOffRoad Better than engine mods in my opinion...👍
I just put this kit in a few days ago and rode yesterday... fantastic! I have the two-1g-weight setup too. My reflashed ECU is due here this week, though, so I'll be popping in the other two 1g's per RCOR's recommendation. Headed for Sand Hollow middle of next week, staying til after Thanksgiving. Woo!
Do you seem to notice the biggest difference between 10 mph and 30?
@@DerangedOffRoad Yeah I'd say that's about right. It cured about 1/3 to 1/2 of the slow-off-the-line backshift issue that I hate, but I mainly noticed that it's now super fun to "point and shoot" when on fun, twisty trails. When you back off the throttle to enter the turn, and roll back on it, it spins up MUCH faster. I can actually steer with the throttle now (in 4WD!). Super fun.
That’s exactly what I thought as well. Glad you you like it. I have a tune coming this week for mine to. 👍 -Garrett
Thank you for sharing
🏆🏆🏆🤗🙏
11 seconds to 60! wanted a krx soo bad, just couldn't pass up turbo power. Glad I went x3 now, I can get to 60 and back to zero in about 11 seconds. will be trading it for a krx when they get some power tho
Nice! I got mine installed yesterday, even with my HF snap ring pliers. lol I agree, feels more lively at the bottom end. Having adjustable weights is a must when making tire size changes. For me, doing clutch mods is much more effective and reliable than motor mods.
Totally agree! -Garrett
add this in with a tune from vforce and a graves exhaust and it would probably make the KRX the machine we all wanted. ive had mine since may and its been nothing but a pleasure in the eastern kentucky mountains. how does the clutch weights help in actual trail riding? i know the acceleration is what was tested here but how does the butt dyno feel while doing technical riding?
According to the runs (grade percentage) you posted you were running uphill stock and downhill with the aftermarket weights. Even if not extreme that's a big deal.
A teryx form with a 1000cc engine woudl be so cool
It looks like 2 one gram weights was the best 0-40 which is probably most used speeds anyways. Good testing. Thanks.
Yes that’s correct, but I wanted to show how you can really change things. I’ll probably go back to that, but not sure yet. I need some more trail time everywhere to see. With no weights it really did well out at Sand Hollow yesterday. 👍-Garrett
Nice job and posting data you collected. Buy any chance since the "No added grams to the weights gave the best time, did you weigh the stock weight of one versus one of the new weights? curious if that also plays into the improvement.
You know I didn’t do that. That probably would have been good to see. -Garrett
Not sure about weights for sxs but the bushings in the weights are always wearing out on sleds. I would think a pressed bearing would last much longer, but no one does it.
Must be nice to be able to drive on the roads
Yep, that’s one reason I like southern Utah.
how long does this new clutch last, does it have any wear , great video
It was just the weights that were replaced with a new Gboost belt. So far over a 1,000 miles and still working great.
You had a quick mention in the vid about your throttle cable needing adjusting. When you did that it got your top speed back up then? Mine new did 68, and now with 600 miles, it does 65mph. I just figured it was belt wear. But now I’m thinking the cable after seeing that quick mention in your video.
I didn’t check speed but that alone brought my stock time 0 to 60 down some. Which probably means the throttle wasn’t opening all the way. 👍 -Garrett
@@DerangedOffRoad ok thanks. It’s something I’m gonna look at. And I’m waiting on the clutch kits to get in stock again.
We have 15 kits for pre order on our website now. 👍 thanks for watching.
@@DerangedOffRoad when will you guys have them to ship?
Hopefully by the end of next week or sooner.
Need to re film that all I seen was a hand holding a lite
There are better instructional videos available to to those who purchase provided by Right Coast
You mention lower rpm in the mid. This is what I'm looking for. How much did it go down and at what speed range?
So honestly it’s what you want it to be. You can adjust for better take off and throttle response from zero to sixty. Or you can adjust so after hitting say 30 rpm can fall off but you won’t have the power like before. That’s the great part about this kit, you can adjust for what you want out of it. Everyone has a different riding style and wants different things. This kit can give that to you. -Garrett
Just wanted to say thanks to you guys, i was on the fence of getting a maverick sport xc x until i was watching the KRX videos. I'm loving my 21 KRX Trail edition. So much better of a machine in almost every way over my 18 polaris rzr rock and trails.
So i got about 275 miles in about a month and half, i live up in Washington so it's mostly logging roads and some hill climbs with cruising around in the snow. You guys think there would be much to be gained in doing this kit? What exactly does changing the weights do?
Mainly helps with the low end of the machine. You can tune it according to your elevation as well. If you want more snappy response on the low end this kit will help. 👍
Good afternoon! Tell me the timing tags 🙏
What would be best for 45mph cruising as in lowering rpm
On mine 4 one gram weights did that overall. I wanted more lower so I went with two 1 gram weights across from each other.
When you changed your weights did it lower your RPMs and made it little faster....the big thing did it lower the heat in the cabe.....but this krx 100 2021 is so dang high RPMs be nice to lower your rpms ....
It can lower your rpms with the weight adjustment. You’ll lose a little power in that area but it would make for a lower rpm cruising speed. It’s really about what you want out of the kit. Not sure about the heat side of things haven’t hit the summer months here yet.
@@DerangedOffRoad have you have your ecm flased on your krx1000......I would like to get mine flashed but for some reasons John V force will not do it so i don't trust anyone else to do it...
Yea I did and will have a vid out about all that soon.
That variance of 1k rpm shifting is not right. The stock weight was keeping rpm flats,wonder how will do taking some weight of the stock ones to bump the rpms and still have a constant rpm thru the wot range.you can play removing from the heel only if interested on low speed power
How many miles are you getting on the Right coast weights? My stock weights on the KRX are lasting about 500 miles.
Thanks Carl
I have just over 1700 miles now on the weights.
Guys - I know you said that all runs were on the same road going the same direction but your stock run shows going uphill and all your runs with the kit installed were going downhill - I'm sure you can see how this might look like you were trying to sell clutch kits. Does the measuring device use GPS satellites to determine elevation? Did you do the stock run on a different day so that you locked onto different satellites? My GPS is easily +- 500 feet when it comes to elevation depending on how many satellites it can see at any given time and that may explain the difference.
You're correct. Complete oversite on our part. Although the slope is minimal it's there. We'll be doing more testing in the near future.
-Dave
I'm thinking of buying a 2023. Did they change any of the clutching since last year. And can you ship to Canada. Thanks
No, on the two seaters we haven’t seen a change yet. The new 4 seater they have seemed to change the weights up some so maybe it will carry over to the two seaters as well for 2023. Yes we can ship to Canada. -Garrett
I'd say that at least 95% of my riding is in the 0-20 mph range. Not sure if my butt dyno would feel a .2 second 0-20 increase. Maybe there is a more noticeable performance gain over stock if you have oversized tires on? Guess it's time for you to step up a size or two Garrett... :) C'mon man
Also curious if running with just two of the four weights could have any negative affect over time?
Yeah I know it’s about that time.
A clutch kit technically does not make power. It is a way to fine tune the way your transmission shifts to deliver the power. Also helps with belt life when going with big tires.
@@peterkueffner747 Yep, I know what a clutch kit does. That's why I call it performance gain, not power gain. My point was for rock crawling and typical speeds below 20 mph, I don't know that I would notice any advantage with $350 worth of clutch weights.
As for belt life, that appears to be a non-issue with the KRX. With so many guys running 35" tires, I really haven't heard of anyone burning their belt. Huge kudos to Kawasaki for that. I know Polaris and Canam have a tough time with belt life trying to run 30"-32" tires. Hell, even the 29" OEM setups like to burn belts if you aren't careful with them.
Really the main reason I wanted it was for some power speed gains I the sand trails and even mountains. Between 15 and 30 it makes a really big difference for these end. 👍
Its a tank, Its never going to be fast
I just wanted to be the 100th comment, god bless whoever sees this.
could you drop your rpm at say 40 mph to 5 grand for cruising?
You could if you want with the weights.
It starts off good then the RPM’S falls off then they pick back up. Is that the clutch or engine tuning ?
More of the weight settings. After adding the tune with the weights that was all fixed. -Garrett
why was the stock run the only one up hill? Thats not really a good comparison to me
You're correct. Unintentional dumb over site that we didn't catch until after the video was released. The difference in slope is minimal, but it's there. More testing to come if we can get willing participants
-Dave
@@DerangedOffRoad Here is what we are getting with some of our clutch mods and it doesnt fall off on the rpms like all the other weights out there.We will be making a few different designs too czcams.com/video/B-Zvtm7za7Y/video.html
We will check those out 👍
Looks pretty killer. When you're ready we'd love to check them out.
The kit I got did not come with 1 gram weights. It came with eight 2 gram weights and four 6 gram weights. I don’t see how taking out two 1 gram weights can make a noticeable difference. Now taking out 4 grams total , there Maybe a slight difference in Rpms
Your kit should have one gram weights in it. Send us a pic of your weight tray on Facebook PM. 👍
Just curious what your top speed is on your KRX
68 to 69 or so 👍
@@DerangedOffRoad thank you 🙏
Check out our 0-30 times with jbs clutching...2.56 and we are not done yet
Check it out where?
I learned the hard way not to test my clutch with the cover off when you are running limit straps.... Oops!
Dang, I’m sure!
i never removed my belt covere for 3000 miles still looks newhardly any dust i bought mine to ride not work on
It’s hard to believe you have little belt dust after 3,000 miles.
@@DerangedOffRoad that’s at or above 35 mph the belt should not slip once u are in motion the side of belt gripping the walls of pulley if it slipped all time it burn up quickly
I guarantee if you put air to it plenty of dust will come out dust hides in the clutch
@@utahvalleysxsx3trailriders320 I blew with air hardly any dust came out I do not ride slow all ride ing is 30 to 45 mph the belt does not slip at that speed if it did with would burn out quick
@@utahvalleysxsx3trailriders320 if you rock crawler it common sense that your belt will slip a lot going slow and Create a lot more dust I didn’t say I didn’t have any dust I said I had hardly any
Let get together and run them head to head.
Yep, you need to drive mine and see what I mean around the 10 to 30 mph range.
@@DerangedOffRoad I agree that is what the KRX needed. That low end grunt coming out of a corner.
For sure and I think I can tune it just a little more as well.
Is it just me or with a turbo and a clutch does the KRX become an XP Pro Killer? or a Speed UTV (lite)
I think you might be correct.
Does it give the krx torque down low ?
Way better throttle response between the 10 and 30 range.
You break one screwdriver so you just, go get a second screwdriver? Get a pry bar they're made for, well you know, prying.
🤣ok
350 buck's for some weights...lmao
I hear ya.
Jbs and vfj are full making kits
Is noone gonna mention the right coast off road rep was handling and showing off a cracked weight straight from the packaging? Don't tell me no one notice that?
I watched this vid, when did you see that? Like minute mark?
The weights are not cracked in the vid. 👍
@@mikewill709 2:44 mm
@@DerangedOffRoad I beg to differ. 2:44 mm while the rep is handling the weight straight out of the box it has a crack on the right side of the threaded hole.
@@bignic89 crack or scratch?
The krx is just so slow and under powered. Kawasaki really dropped the ball IMO
It’s been a awesome all around rig.
👎🏾 just for the support music at the start
😂 yeah ok

I did the kit for actual riding but for vid reasons did 0-60 stuff. It has made a big difference for me in the low range. It gave me exactly what I wanted between 15 and 30 mph. I Really don’t care much about what happens after 50 to 60 mph. 👍 -Garrett
I bet those two mods would really awaken this beast. It seems to have all the goods to go fast and even the engine has some serious hardware, including dual 50mm throttle bodies and 11:5:1 compression ratio.
I will have a vid of the tune and weights together soon.
@@DerangedOffRoad can’t wait to see the outcome! Be one formidable machine in the NA class....
@@DerangedOffRoad may i ask who did your tune for you .....I am looking to get mine done also but i just don't want to send it to the wrong one ...
So if you can help me on that i would really appreciate...
