You should try an EPI kit squeege. It definitely gave me a quicker takeoff on my Kodiak 450. I had a local shop install and they said in one block, most kodiaks they had hit 25MPH. After this clutch kit they said in the same block they got an extra 5-6MPH. Nice adjustment with tires that grab.

I just put my epi clutch kit in my 06 wolvy and had the same spring problems as stated before,i got them in but they were difficult yet possible,seems like a good amount more punch but still havent got the wheels up high,but i have 26" tires on it also,i just got 80 miles on it so i figured it was time to add some goodies to it.

That will be on my wish list.........I just installed a billet end-cap that I hadn't seen before on that auction site. It looks and sounds real good...... I'm happy[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Actually, with the filter and jet kit I got.......I did feel a little more power

I don't think I gained a whole lot but it was worth every penny at $29.95 plus shipping.....arrived in like 2 days

Ok I finnally was able to go out and try the top speed with the clutch kit.
I dropped about 4-5 mph on top end but you get there a lot quicker.
It does wheelie easier and farther when you get used to it.
You do have a lag especially when trying to back up at first till you get enough revs to move.
I think it will be great when I can really get out on the trails and try it out more.

Ive got the same lag as you,but as far as i can tell it does get up there alot faster,what size tires and wheels are you using?

It's good news that you get there faster but I am not sure that I am ready to lose 4-5 MPH on the top end. If the quad did 75-80MPH stock that would be no big deal for me. Huuummmm... what to do...
