Thanks for your video man. I've got a Arctic Cat pantera, hoping it's a similar setup. Seems the parts houses list a Comet EXP 108C- STD 30MM. Hoping I can find what's wrong with it, without pulling it off completely. It does strange knocking under load, but just coasting it's fine. I've already replaced the secondary spring cause it was broken, but this sounds like it's in the primary.

Thats an awesome video. Thanks for sharing!

[bmxstunter1]

do you have to replace the weight when you put a new spring in it

[lshobie]

@bmxstunter1 not necessarily, there are alot of factors to clutching.

[420poppers705]

What are you spraying on the clutch to clean it

[lshobie]

@420poppers705 I just had some brake cleaner on hand and used it, worked well.

[420poppers705]

@lshobie what else can you use that works good

[lshobie]

@420poppers705 carb cleaner, degreaser, acetone for the clutch faces.

you know they make these spacial bolts that you put back in after you take out the one you took out first. and you titian it and it pops off the clutch.

[lshobie]

@MultiCessna206 Yes, a clutch removal tool - I didn't need one at this time as I didn't need to remove the clutch but when I do I'll get the tool.  Thanks for watching!

[MultiCessna206]

@lshobie no prob. and why dont you guys have enough snow to ride

[lshobie]

@MultiCessna206 no idea, i must have pissed off the snow gods:)

[MultiCessna206]

@lshobie  r u in Canada?? cause im in Alaska and we already have enough snow

[lshobie]

@MultiCessna206 ya im in canada, eastern canada on the boarder with NY, not much here yet.

i like what you are doing with the xlt mod but i think the xlt is a little underpowerd for this length of track maby a turbo :)

[lshobie]

@gangsterbryce That's why I geared down, smaller drivers on the axle, shaving the weight off it, pipes, and clutch kits, - won't be a rocket and will be an interesting experiment. When I blow this engine it's going to get something with some serious ballsack.

[FrankaDith]

Any comments about the weight guides the weight ride on, and why do you feel it necessary to swap out the originals ? planing on a better hole shot or doing lots of climbing and feel you need to up the revs?

[lshobie]

@FrankaDith Ya I basically changed everything so it would adapt to my driving style, deep snow, powder, no trails, for lower gearing and pipes. The revs have to go up around 8800-9200 for the pipes. The engagement will be higher revs and not too harsh so I don't bury the back end on take off, fast downshift for powder as well. won't be a trail performer but will be curious to see how it works in the powder - if we ever get powder:(

[polaris4evr]

i thaught the spring was under so much tension that you have to use a special tool to keep the cover from flying off?

[lshobie]

@polaris4evr Not on this type of clutch - some have a bit of tension but they can really fly off when using a puller.
