Full Version: clutch and drive pulley
ok....the clutches on both sled dont match......on my sled the clutch looks bigger than the wifes....on my sled I have a black spring on the clutch and a purple spring with white line one it....on the wifes its yellow and white.....I dont know the difference but I do know that the wifes springs are what are supposed to be on the sled according to the repair manual. so I guess my sled the clutch has been changed before......so now I have V-force reeds and a different clutch......what the differences for the clutches?? anybody??
Are they both the same sled? Cat will have either a 6 or 9 post primary clutch also each sled will have differant color springs,helix and weights depending on what sled it is. I can tell ya what it should have from the factory just need to know what ya got. Also you will need a clutch puller to pull the primary off the sled.

they are the exact same sled...both 99 zl600 carbs
Primary clutch- 48.5 gram weights and a yellow/white spring
Secondary clutch- 49 helix and yellow spring
That is stock if there are differant color springs or weights then someone was in there. I would have to know whats in there to tell ya what someone tried to do.

ok...thats what my wife has in her sled. as for mine the springs are different.....shifts in at 4500 with no problems...just curious to know what I have....I'll look more into it and let ya know....thanks again
I had Russ change the spring on my clutch because it was hooking up at too high of an RPM. It's ok to hook up at a high rpm if you got 2 hands OR on a straight track. I was just finding it difficult to get on the brake fast enough with the one hand in the twisty trails.

I thought Yamaha was such a heavy sled they installed foot brakes for this reason.
Actually, I was talking about my cat 600zl. The 4 stroke has plenty of tourque. That clutch kicks in around 3k and pulls all the way....with a complete power band all the way----If you have never driven a high performance 4 stroke, you really need to try one. It's a different riding experience. What's really nice (for me) is how it slows down when you let off the gas. That works great for me since I don't use the brake as much as you guys with 2 hands.

High performance 4 strokes are 2 rich for my blood, i'll stick with my mid 90's sleds-but i'm willing to drive any sled someone will let me
