Hello,

I just got a V700 today and frist thing I am looking to bolt on is a hi-pro clutch kit.
Are there any manufactures out there?

Thanks for any help or feedback.

 

I do not know of any yet. I was told by a very well known engine builder that you don't want to worry with the clutch on the v-force. Work with other aspects first.

 

EPI

Rocket, let us know how it works with the EPI clutching.

 

Those clutch kits had to be tuned using the stock exhaust system. If you add a set of free-flowing duals and change the point where the most power is being made, you're going to need to make changes to the clutching again to get the shiftout right.

 

I have the EPI clutch kit for my 700. It really seems to engage too harshly. I need to take it back apart again to see what's up. I did add the HMF duals so perhaps I should look at a couple of other primary spring colors. At this point I'm thinking about putting my stock primary spring back in.

Mine did the exact same thing, it was making a loud thump noise when the primary clutch disengaged, so I put the stock one in and it has quick that, it still engages kinda hard tho, im thinkin the maybe just to run the black spring in the secondary clutch with the stock weights maybe. After a hard days riding today, whenever I rev it up and let off, at almost idle it makes a slight squeak. I dunno if its something to worry about? Should I take everything out and take it back to my dealer? I called EPI and he said that its nothing to worry about unless it gets worse. But I dont remeber it doing it when it was new. Any advice?

 

The primary on the Kawi's doesn't engage gradually like the Polaris' do, they engage very suddenly. This is going to limit how heavy of a spring you can put in one of these. I put a Polaris brown primary in mine and engagement is up only about 300-500 RPM's and it pulls harder on top than before. I'd suggest the same or similar spring for you rather than putting the stocker back in. I believe the stock spring and its instant engagement is holding back the top end on the 700's.
