I installed 27" Mud Lites on my 12" wheels for the 2008 Sportsman 700 X2 EFI. I know nothing about clutches. I do notice a power loss on the bottom end due to the increase in tire size. I am hoping someone out there has some experience in this and could point me in the right direction of which clutches to install and where to find them. I will have my local dealer install them, but they didn't have any suggestions as to where to find some or which ones to use, etc.

 

welcome. try this web site for information

 

Thanks so much for the info. Very informative site. I will be ordering them soon! Do you think it would affect the belt wear if I rode without clutching? Or, is it merely a power loss I am overcoming?

 

I think it will pull 27's just fine with the factory clutch.

 

just better use low range morte in the mud w/ the 27" as it will save on the belt imo.

 

geeze man,you just put 35"s on your truck and did"nt change the gears..ok same thing.. but lucky you have the 700 so it should be that much of a strain.. just as stendori said use low when needed..i would install a kit,but thats just me!!!

 

hey one savage where did u get the official honda recovery vehicle sign

I checked Dalton site for the clutch kit and there site even says there isn't much you can do with a new 800!
Their complete kits for the 800 doesn't have a helix either and even cost more than a HC.
What gives?
You say HC cost to much and no improvement? What did the Dalton do that the HC couldn't? No adjustment with Dalton, but lots of adjustment with HC!
