no.

Unless you're replacing your stock tires with cement filled tires- your clutch doesn’t know the difference if the 50 lbs is from heavier tires, a loaded cooler on the rear rack or filling up your tank of gas-
There is a dealer recommended total weight capacity for every atv- unless you’re outside that weight, you don’t need to re-clutch.

 

beergut, Quick reply... Thanks, Hawkeye

 

Boy someone sure has a big head...esp considering that equipment listed in the sig. This is a forum and everyone has an opinion - why is yours so much better??

 

Just because it works doesn't mean it's right. It's called tuning for a reason.... ftwflh is saying to get the most out of the combo adjust your clutch accordingly. I'm not sure why so many people flame the dude for his tips. Heavier tires will decrease performance. With a little tweaking it can be all but eliminated. I say do it if not for the gains, then for the experience.

Only if you feel heat building up on the belt cover.But I like to reclutch from stock for personal preferences.

 

Someone once said every pound of rotating weight equals 10lbs of weight added to the racks so if he is gaining 30lbs with the new tires the motor and clutches will feel 300 lbs of extra work load. Re clutching or tuning the clutch would really make the belt grab better and therefore last longer. Personally tuning the clutches is where most of the performance is lost or gained in these auto transmission ATV's.
BUT it all comes down to personal prefrence if you do not want to do the clutch adjustments do NOT do them.
