i am new to the timberwolf. i am trying to get it going for the old lady. i have a grizz 660. nothing alike. i replaced the centrifical clutch and the damn thing is still sliping. i am about ready to replace the other clutch. or should i not even waste my time. it takes off fine but about half way through the throttle it starts to slip. any ideas??

 

CHECK YOUR SHAFT THE THETH MIGHT BE WORN A LITTLE

 

thanks but i did look into that i think it might be the secondary clutchs. you know the clutch pack. it has two sets and i only replaced one

 

Have you actually tightened the clutch? there is an adjustment on the side of the case you might want to try to figure out. i dont exactly know how to adjust it, but i just tightened the big nut then tightened the screw in the middle and now mine picks up wheelies in second or third gear from standing still. also, make sure you are using the factory recommended or maybe thinner oil, but dont go too thin. if it is slipping, then you might have too high of a viscosity oil for your clutch(takes more tim for the oil to leave the clutch plates-slipppage) but dont go too thin because the oil is not only a lubricant for the engine but also a governor of sorts, controlling RPM and movements. hope it helps

 

i am using the factory oil in it. and i have the manual. i adjusted that to. i am just going to replace the secondary clutches in it and hope for the best.

 

I wish the best of luck to you, hope it works. Hope u dont miss this killer weather we're gettin. Im in PA and its almost perfect riding weather: little cold and really muddy. Im gonna get out this weekend and hit the trails for a bit

 

thanks alot bro. its supposed to be sweet this weekend. and good thing to. i put a new secondary clutch in and it is all good. it rips now

 

Happy to hear that man, hope u have some fun. I went riding myself, turned out a lot muddier than i thought. i was struggling through mud everywhere i went. but it was fun

 

I am having the same problem, its a 96 timberwolf this i put so much money into it. new head new rings new cam new clutch new rear new redid carburetor new middle drive gear. people tell me im crazy for all that. but back to the subject just as you described im having that problem after replacing the two clutches. i tryed adjusting it i don't know how many times im just lost. im still riding it because i give up on the thing. any ideas?
