- Here's how Rick changes clutch weights with the clutches still on the sled or when he's out on the mountain.

I learned something new 👍 keep those great videos rolling.
Thanks Eric. All kinds of good stuff coming down the pipe!
this guy helps alot
I like your homemade "clutch holder" tool! What length is that roughly, i'd like to make one! I got a rough idea comparing it to the secondary tool you set it beside but ya.
Its 3 5/8 “ bent into a 3 1/2 “
Thats was the question I also had, I am going to install a clutch kit but my sled is at my cabin in the middle of the woods so I’m trying to make it as easy as possible.
For all of us that’s not in to the imperial system: 3 5/8” ~ 92 mm
And 3 1/2” ~ 89 mm
Thanks for a great video, greetings from Sweden.
If you don't have a clutch holder tool can can use one of the new weights to keep the clutch open by putting it behind the one in the sled. Then rotate it out once you changed the other 2.
very risky

😎 🆒️
Coupe questions. So theres 3 clutch weights on the sled right? Do you change them all?
And when people say they are rebuilding their clutches, what does that entail?
Yes 3 weights but might only have to change the bushings if weights are not damaged ! When you “rebuild” a clutch , you replace weights /spring /spider buttons and inner and outer bushings ! Some go as far as spinning clutch faces in a lathe to keep them true ! And of course when all new pieces are installed , getting clutch balanced is a great idea !
Forgot about the rollers in spider , those are a common item that fail as well , and if bushings are shot in your clutch weights , chances are your clutch weight pins are wore too !!
I bought some clutch weights only to find out two of them were precisely what they should weigh and the other one was .9 g heavier . Would it still be okay to use or would that cause damage to the motor due to the possible wobble from not being balanced
Is it supposed to be difficult to thread the Tool into the secondary
No , should be some resistance but should screw in by hand !
How do you change a clutch engagement mine engages at 5000 rpm and I wanna bring it down some
find out what spring is in primary and get a different one with a softer initial !
where did you get the clutch hold tool from?

@@DIGIT9 Haha! thanks man appreciate it
So my snowmobile when i ride it when i get it up to 30 i slows down and i am lucky if it can get to 40 does that mean that my clutch weights are stuck or what i have a yamaha phazer 485 and i have got it up faster then 40
sounds like clutching yup, try a new belt ?
Also can you do this without the clutch holder
Yup , just take faceplate off first !
What about the clutch spring?
That will be in another video !
