Hi, I just bought a 99 yamaha warrior a couple of months back and need some tech advice for replacing the clutch plates and springs etc. I've noticed that something is slipping when i'm riding. The motor revs and I don't go with it. I checked the locknut on the axle and it seems tight. I've felt that same feeling when the locknut became loose. I'm guessing it's the clutch slipping. I've changed a clutch on a honda cr250, 2 stroke dirt bike and it was an easy fix. I've never tried to change one on a fourstroke quad.
Does anyone know if this is an easy fix or should I have a shop do it. Please share your thoughts ..
Have fun riding! BE SAFE
THANKS

 

never done a warrior clutch, but if you've done one on a CR, you should have no problems..they both work on the same concept.

 

Get a Clymer's manual.They are a must have when workin' on your quad.They give you detailed instructions along with pictures.It doesnt seem to be very hard at all.The only problem is you have to have a special tool.It says if you dont have it that you can fabricate your own.Hope i helped.L8ta!

 

Thanks swain. I think I'll take your advice and get a manual. I had a feeling if I took it apart I would run into that special tool thing.... I also read that barnett clutchs are very hard and that one arm is like popeye, NOT sure what to get now.....
thanks again....
