Hey guys need a little help i see that you talk about clutch service all the time. How do you service them?
My son has just started racing and I'm tring to do the stuff that I can do myself with out breaking the bank.

 

.

For general "cleaning and visual inspections" only, you may want to remove its CVT side cover, spray the clutch pullies (and area) with brake fluid cleaner and do a visual of its moving parts. Some do cleaning after every "super muddy" race and others only do inspections once a year (for normal trail riding). Some use water for cleaning but I like using liquid "spray on" brake fluid cleaner the best.

While "in the pits", you may want to ask other LT80 racers what specific cleaning (and visual inspections) they do on their LT80 brand. Each brand is different and thus, may need more visual attention in specific areas. For example, I always have to focus on the front steering wear and "brake pad" cleaning on our '03 Pred-90. To me, the Pred-90 need better design in this area. Your LT80 will need different "cleaning and wear focus areas". Each brand does have its weak areas....

Hope this helps....

are you doing any MX and if so how do they hold up. my dauhter is riding a KFX 80 and it seems to be holding up petty good. any tips on these things would be apperitated..

 

we have only ran a couple of mx races and he is doing pretty good but his 80 is not that fast im on here all the time tring to get tips for what to do.im tring to do all the stuff myself but right now i have not fond the best stuff to do.

 

That's because you are out of options (or close) of things to do yourself.
The beginner mods are:: shave the head .030 and remove 2 of the front rollers. Maybe even lowering the weight of the rear clutch shoes from 210 to 180 grams each.
After that get help from someone that kives LT80's. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img].[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
