My epi clutch kit came in yesterday and its time to install... i've looked over the directions but how much time am i really looking at here. im not a professional mechanic but im not bad working on things? can i get this done in an evening? any tips to make it go easier or anything the directions don't say that i should know?

 

realistically, If you have the tools and know how it shouldn't take long at all. I'd say no more than 2 hours. Example: I just changed out the primary spring and buttons on my magnum. It took me probably 20-30 min. to tear down the bike to get at the clutches, and only took me 15 min to have the primary done and ready to put the quad back together. Sometimes I find that on some quads replacing parts is less hassle than just getting to the part.

 

If you have the primary clutch removal tool getting it off will be easy. The secondary is tricky to disassemble/put togethr without the tool for it so I'd take it to the dealer. Mine did it no time at all and only charged me $35.

 

if the right tools are at hand, shouldn't be more then 1 hr+-

 

Seriously, the hardest part of the job is removing the clutch cover and screws!! Did you get the Utility EPI kit?

 

the secondary is a lot easier to put together than the non ebs secondaries were you used to have to turn the helix and preload the spring now you don't easier if you have a second pair of hands. you also don't need to pull the primary off the bike just take out the 6 bolts on the face of it pull the spring and you can get to the weights without pulling it off

 

I got the epi trail kit... thanks for all the input. i finished the job last night. only took about an hour and really wasn't as hard of a job as i tought it would be. I already got buddies wanting me to change their cluthes. glad i did it myself, i like konwing how my machine works so when something goes wrong i might know how to fix it... now to the performance... WOW! anyone who really likes to ride and doesn't get a clutch kit is CRAZY! I have maxxis tires (which are heavy) and a 3500 winch and i was pulling the front end up off the ground in Low and the zero - FAST in High really impressed me. i think im going to be running with the sport bikes
