Default New clutch....25% gain???

I don't know Shotgun, 2 weight and 2 spring choices to cover everything from a Polaris 250 4x4 to the V-Force.

I was looking at this for my Scrambler when it first came out, but I saw a few posts about people having trouble dialing them in and I remember one by Helix that said you weren't going to get any more top speed out of it without some work to the sheeves. Maybe do a search in the Polaris forum and come up with that post.

Kevin,

I agree not many choices on that page, but it was designed by Comet for Wolfe brothers raceing, for drag raceing, I would think with their claim of 25% performance gain that there must something there.

Because it is a comet clutch, the polaris type springs and Kawa type springs should work...there would be a learning curve because of it being a three pole.

That's why I'm glad we have people like Dale @ Dalton, (Helix) on this forum. No better information than from the people that makes the product. I hope he posts to see what he has to say.

I'll do a search and I think I'll give Wolf a call. Can't hurt.

I think I'll post a question on the Polaris forum, I'll see if they run me off...

Just making sure I understand your post, are you saying they don't make the 103 clutches for a kawasaki yet?

FYI clutches that we have now are Comet.

correct they (comet) won't be done with it till middle of summer.
shotgun i believe comet mentioned something about permission
from kawi. after they said no (about the clutch) i didn't pay attention.
thats nice to know they made the clutch for are quads. thanks for that tidbit of info.

That may be the important part. The clutch may fit, but Comet just doesn't want to step on Kawi's toes.

I guess I'll be the guinea pig.....

I have a hard time thinking that Kartworld would intentionally misadvertise like that.

As SHOTGUN mentioned above, I wish TEAM Performance would make a clutch for our Kawi's. I installed TEAM's clutch in the 2004 Sportsman 700 I had and there was DEFINITELY an increase in performance....this one did have EBS also. TEAM.....you listening???.....hello!!!.....TEAM clutch + Kawi's = [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I've got one.
I recently replied to a post on the polaris side regarding this(maybe someone who knows more about computers than me can drag it over here),lol.
The one I have is for polaris,so I assume the spider is wound the wrong way to be on the other side like a KAWIE. They are a good clutch if you know how to work them.
I may weld the spider a bit and try it on the v this summer just to see,I'm sure it would work with some fooling around.I know the taper is ok because I just built a new hub for my buddies dyno so that we can reverse it to work on a kawi(engine crank dyno).
