 Well, we're back talking more about our 2018 Moab build on our new 1000 Razor and one of the things that kept topics that kept coming up is which clutch to run or which clutch upgrades and I went out on a ride and Adam with DSLP was starting line products was our tour guide on one of the trail rides and I was really impressed with the performance of your machine. We got to talking and next thing I know, we're going to put SLP clutch upgrades, is that the right terminology? Yeah, clutch upgrade, clutch kit, that's right Chuck, so we had an awesome time on the ride. Absolutely. I was going to meet you guys and getting around your vehicles. One thing we really like about this turbo car is the performance that the car makes. It's great performance out of the engine, but one thing it lacks is getting that performance from the engine to the ground. And so that's where we come in. Our clutch kits are an upgrade that utilize the stock components, will maximize the performance of those components and get you that performance to the ground. The acceleration is better, it's much, much smoother and less friction on the whole system. It's just easier to drive because the throttle input is a lot more intuitive. You don't have to use so much throttle to get the car to move. So this is an overall better performing setup. And then a little bit about your company that give me a lot of comfort. Is there an Idaho company and you've been around since 72? Yep, 1972. We opened our doors for business there in Idaho Falls, Idaho and we've been tuning on CBT clutches ever since so this is not something new for us. Back in 2008 when the Razer first came out, we saw this and said, this is an awesome vehicle and what a ride for the last 10 years, you know. Oh yeah. It's been amazing. We've come, you know, and what great vehicles we have to ride now. It's just a pleasure to be in the industry doing what we're doing. Well one of the things we're going to do is, as Adam cares our clutch apart, we're going to try to document it and one of the things that I want to achieve is trying to show them people how to change a clutch or a belt rather while they're on the trail. So with that we're going to go ahead and get started. So the first step is to get the screws out and I like this tool the best for doing that. It's got a flexible shaft so you can get in and around all the obstacles. And this is something you offer? It is. This is something that we sell. It's pretty cool because it's got a reversible socket on one side. It's for the hose clamps. You can remove the hose clamp that goes to your air duct here and then the other side you can clip it over and that side is the screw head. So it's one tool that does both of the pieces. It's really slim so you can throw it in between your tool kit. Absolutely. So you have it with you. You need to change your belt while you're on the trail. It's really easy to do it. Sounds great. So the next piece that you need to get the belt off is this tool here. This comes in your tool kit. It's just a little L wrench that's threaded. It goes into one of these two holes. The way it works is you just insert the tip and then just thread the tool in. That's depressing something in the clutch. Yeah. What it's doing is it's going to spread these sheets apart so that you have more gap between them. And you'll see as I start to spread the sheets that the belt drops down and so you're just making more space for the belt to be able to move so that you can get it out. And you just twist again until you've got plenty of space and room for that belt to move. And once you get it in that far, you just pull on the bottom here of the belt and just work it around like that. And once you've got it all the way around, just pop it around off the top. And then from there, you just work the belt around that drive clutch. It's just a... So when people want to upgrade their own clutch, do they send it to you or do you have how to do it? They can either do it on their own or if they have the proper tools of course, you need to buy all the service tools. Or you can pop off the clutches and send them in so that's either way works fine. Okay. So to remove the driven clutch, the first step is to just pop out this bolt. To get the bolts out, there's this snap ring that you've got to remove. That's just kind of a secondary measure that they have to keep the clutch in place. Well with the aid of a little movie magic, we got the tire off. I'm going to try to get a little more light in here. When I say we're doing this on the show floor, I mean we are doing this as grass roots as it gets right here on the show floor. And then we're going to go try this pathway out. Startled me. Do you know I was going to do that? Try not to show me jumping. If I guy back that once, bolt out with that help, prevent that. Drive clutch. There are a couple of things that you need to do. First off, you'll take out this bolt right here. That's just a drive clutch retaining bolt. After you remove that bolt, then you thread a puller in through the hole and then the clutch will pop off. So you got to put something in the clutch to hold it. We actually have a tool that does that. So that it doesn't damage the tip of the puller. I'll also put a little bit of grease. The way this puller works is there are threads here that thread directly into the clutch and the inner side of this whole clutch. And then the tip pushes against the crankshaft on the engine and then it forces it off. There's a taper fit between the clutch here on the back side of the center and the crankshaft at the engine. So after we put the puller in, you just tighten the puller until it pops and it will make an audible pop. The first time you do it, it will probably make you slow yourself. But that's normal. Don't worry. That's typical. But once you get the primary clutch off, you're ready to go with the rest of the clutch kit. Now that we've got the clutches off, we're going to run over to the trailer and dig into him and do what we do with the magic of making these clutches really perform. I also want to point out at 6 o'clock at night and everybody's still going before upgrading machines, as you can see over here. Now we're going to go over to the SLP trailer. You can see they've got machines lined up and they're doing clutches on them here at the rally, which is quite impressive. So now that we're back at the trailer with the clutch off, we're going to dig into installing the clutch kit. There are three main components that are part of the kit. The first is our Magnum Force weights. These give you the maximum amount of shift force on the belt to make sure that it rips the belt and doesn't slip. We've also got an SLP spring that's specific to the kit, as well as our power pucks that help to make it smooth and no friction in the clutches of shifts. So the next thing we're going to put in is the clutch weights. These give you adjustability and also control the shift of the drive clutch. We removed the factory weights. So there's a significant difference. And you guys make these? Yeah, we manufacture that. Now are there different weights for different elevations? No. There's one weight. It's adjustable, so you can use it for a variety of elevations with the provided set screws. These screws are added through the end of the weight right here. Okay. You screw them in with the T-handle, and that gives you adjustment to run from low elevation all the way up to high elevation with the same clutch weight. And you're going to show me how to set that. Yeah, I will. Now is there something you've bonded in here that needs to dry overnight? Yeah. So there's an adhesive that we put the power pucks in with. It's an Elastin American rubber. And we put that in the clutch to keep it in place. And that will dry overnight. So I'm good to go tomorrow with it? Yeah, you'll be good to go tomorrow with it for sure. And spring install and we are good to go. We're going to go put this back on the car. So I like to clean out the taper of the clutch in here before I reinstall it just to make sure no dirt or anything got on the clutch taper. It has to have a perfect seal between the clutch taper and the crankshaft. So you want to also clean out the crankshaft right here. There's a little bit of grease here too. Clean that up. I'm also going to stick this down inside here to get some of that out of there too. Make sure that's nice and clean. What's the biggest leading cause of burning a clutch? The main reason that people have problems with their clutch is they'll put it in high gear and then do something that's a high load. That would be like running through a big mud pit or running up a really super steep hill or trying to rock crawl. Any time that you feel like you need to be in four wheel drive you really ought to be in low gear. What about, does it matter when you're sitting on a hill and you're in drive? Is there any load on it? Or does it change if you put it in neutral? If you're just sitting there it should be the same. You don't have to worry about burning a bell. If you're just sitting in parked you're not going to burn a bell. And then when you're coming off a hill does it help to give it just a little acceleration to set the bell? It does. What happens is when you're accelerating you're forcing this clutch to close and that grips the bell and it engages the transmission through the secondary clutch so you actually get an engine brake effect from revving it up a little bit. It seems backwards, right? You rev it up and you think that you're going to go faster down the hill but if you rev it just a little bit it'll just keep the clutch engaged and it'll actually go slower down the hill. You won't have to get your brakes as much. And in your opinion, I mean obviously there are higher quality belts on the market and lower quality. You know the best belt that we have found is the Flares OE belt. It works best. They designed it to work with the machine. You know what we found is a lot of the aftermarket belts out there claim to be more durable and they are. They're definitely more durable but it typically comes at a cost. An aftermarket belt is typically a harder compound rubber that's not as grippy and so it doesn't wear out but it just doesn't grip the clutches as well so it doesn't perform as well and you'll typically not have as good a performance at it. That goes back to Newton's law, right? For every action there's an equal and opposite reaction. Now you've got some still on. It's important to torque this bolt before you put the belts on. Otherwise you'll be pushing against the belt and you won't get an accurate torque reading. This front bolt is a good idea to check it again. Maybe after you go on the ride. This sometimes will take a little bit of a set on that tapered fit and so you've got to do it again. What do I torque it to? 96 foot-pounds. Now when you put the belts on you're going to always want to make sure that you can read the label. You can obviously read Polaris and the part number here and so we're going to make sure that when we put this on that it stays that way. So that read that Polaris and the part number. Just pushing the belt up in the bottom here because I'm opening it. As you spin it, to lift this back part up and make sure to kind of pull away as you lift it up so you're not going to ruin those cons of the belt. Just working the grab like that. Pull your tool back out. Get that slack in the belt. Once your belt is riding up at the top of the clutch, you're good. Ready to go back on with the cover and that's it for the clutch kit. Ready to roll. Well, here we are. The clutch is on. I mean tomorrow's going to be, I'm really looking forward to health and revenge tomorrow to try the new clutch and I'm just so excited. You're absolutely going to love it, Chuck. That clutch is just going to peel right up those obstacles. You're not even going to think twice about it. And I want to compliment you. You know, I don't know what time you started this morning but I think it's now, it's eight o'clock at night and you've been going non-stop. We haven't gone non-stop. I'm super excited to get to bed tonight. I think our booth over here is finally, all the cars are out of it. That's the first time since we fly here on Monday. I'm really excited. Last night was a late one, it was 11.30 tonight. I think we're going to get in about something. So I'm pretty happy. I'll tell you, I can't thank you enough. What a pleasure it's been. So we're looking forward to many more builds with you. So thanks a lot.
