Hopefully I can pull the Primary clutch this week. Still need to get the right bolt.

It's starting up great, but stalling sometimes when I put it into high gear. And occasionally getting stuck in reverse. So I have to play with it a bit. Also want to see the fan kick in when it's warm. And see the coolant level stabilize. Will have to wait for another weekend.
In much better condition though!

Change that gear case oil if you haven't done so already. Plus do you have the oem belt? Some aftermarket belts can be too tight or wide putting constant pressure on the driven clutch. Check to see in neutral that the driven clutch isn't turning or if it is that it can be easily stopped with your foot,be careful on that one though.. That sounds like what's causing the clunking into gear,being under a load.

The low gear is putting the ATV stuck in reverse sometimes, need to look into that. Can get it unstuck with some light tapping.
Will replace gear oil next as suggested.
Saw the fan go on as expected, so cooling system should be good now.
I think I'm almost ready to put the plastics back on!
