i'm not sure which color spring's to use for bottom end and quicker engagement? i have a prairie 300,also what tool's do i need?


thank's for any help

 

Fourwheeler, Phone the guys at Erlandson Performance and tell them what you want out of your clutch. Their phone number is 218-829-6036. From what I hear, these guys are clutch gurus. I'm sure they can help you out.

You will need a drive pulley puller bolt for sure. Also, you will need a drive and driven pulley holder to compress your clutch so that you can take it apart. The rest of the tools you will need are basic, socket set, snapring pliers, etc. If I were you, I'd get a service manual for your specific quad. If you have one of these, you can tear apart anything. Good luck with your mod!!

 

thank's for the reply i'll give them a call. any idea how much the pullers will cost??

 

Here is the part number for the clutch puller bolt you will need. This is an Erlandson Performance number.

p/n pcp-10 $34.95 clutch puller bolt

They don't have a pulley holder for the Kawies in their catalog. You might be able to find one at Dennis Kirk. Not sure though.

 

? I have a pulley puller I bought from EPI. I think it fits all prairies.

PCP-10 300/400/650 Prairie

It is on their website, http://www.erlandsonperformance.com

 

thank's guy's i found a complete clutch kit from dennis kirk i don't know if i need the whole kit though? any suggestions??????

 

Quick Queston? Will these clutch springs help my bottom end acceleration? I know they will help with turning tires in deep muck. I assume it will affect my top end which is no big deal to me?

P.S. The more power we have the more we want.

 

Nyroc, that is the same puller I listed in my previous reply. It is the pulley holder that they don't have in their catalog. They have one for Polaris atv's, but there is none listed for the Kawies. I made my own pulley holder, or pulley spring compressor, whatever you want to call it. I can't imagine a guy would get his clutch apart without one of these. I don't know anything about the clutch kit in the Dennis Kirk site. Who makes it?

 

Mastr, looks like I was cross eyed and did not read your post. I have photos of my homemade pulley holder and pulley compressor. I looked all over Denniskirk's website and can't find their kit. I truly don't like the dennis kirk website.

Dustanko, people tell me the takeoff acceleration is better. The kit raises the rpm at which the clutch engages. This allows gives the engine keep making power at an rpm that it can produce more. On the down side, the engagment is harder, so it wont take off as smooth. This may mean longer belt life, but I don't know. I don't have a spring kit, I just know from what other people say about it.

 

springs can make it have a harder hit, but if you "massage" the throttle, or hold it just below the engagement rpm it will ease forward.
