I put 27" swamp lites on my sportsman and bought the Dalton oversized tire kit to go with them.

What I am wondering is what differences I will feel with the clutch kit.

I don't do a lot of high speed driving. We do a lot of "technical" trail and mud riding with rocks and logs. most of our trail riding is 20-30mph.

Also is there an online guide to a trouble free kit installation?

Do I have to remove the primary in order to install the spring and weights? or can it be done just by removing the center bolt and cover?

Is it really necessary to replace the center bolt like the service manual says every time it is removed?

Any tips or information will be helpful. I plan on tackling the job this weekend and need to get the tools I will need before then.

 

I tried installing the kit tonight and everything was going fine until it came time to install the weights. The holes in the weights are too big for the shaft that holds them.

Is there supposed to be some sort of bushing that goes in the center?

 

do you have bushed weights on the stock weights? they should be the same size or already bushed in the dalton weights i would think. contact dalton and ask them. maybe it was an oversite. and yes, as you already found out you can leave the clutch on the bike.

 

The stock weights don't have any bushings. I am going to try calling Dalton in the morning.

Looking on the Dalton site they do show a replacement set of bushings for the weights so it looks like they might have just forgot to install them or didn't put them in the box.

 

im pretty sure on the 800 weights that i saw from dalton had the bushing already installed in them, so they might have mistakenly left them out.
