I just removed the CVT primary clutch from my P650 (going to do the top-speed primary clutch mod soon) and I noticed that the shoes come off easily when you unscrew the spider and moveable sheave from the fixed sheave. Since I have it all apart now, I'm thinking about replacing the shoes (if its not too expensive). However, the Kaw. parts diagram has 8 different size shoes for the spider (from T=7.3 thru T=8.0). So how do I know which size shoes should go on my clutch?

The service manual has the procedure, its a little complicated. (For me, anyway, lol)

 

Thanx for the reply. I found that page in my service manual after I posted the above message...luckily, my shoe clearance seems to be within spec, so I don't think I'll replace them now.

When the shoes start to get sloppy you will get a "knocking" noise from the CVT area when at an idle.
