Haha nice thanks for the info. I've also been looking into a clutch kit and was wondering what you think about them.

 

What's there to think about? Just install new clutches when the old ones wear out, otherwise, leave the old ones in. You won't gain a whole lot but an empty wallet by replacing good clutches.

 

yea i know that. But the clutches do need to be replaced, its a 21 year old machine and has never had new clutches put in lol. is there certain ones to look into or stay away from? And also i've came across some videos on how to install them and in all the videos they replace the stock springs and the weights. But in the kits i've seen online most of them have like a series of metal rings and a few smaller springs. I'm guessing there is a few different clutch kit options?

 

I think the longest lasting clutches I ever had were from Curtis Sparks (sparksracing.com) but I'm not sure he has a kit for a Warrior. One trick I did one time was to use Raptor 660 fiber plates with Warrior clutch springs on my Warrior. This worked good because the 660 plates are the same physical size, but have more fiber surface area than the Warrior plates. I also had some Dirt Digger clutches from EBC (I think) that worked pretty good. Most of the time, you just replace the fiber clutch plates and the springs. Usually you keep the metal plates because they rarely ever wear out unless you are doing something extreme. You can get clutch kits with the metal & fiber plates and springs, but most kits come with just fiber plates and springs.

Make sure you soak the new plates in oil before installing them, and only use oil for wet clutches. Automotive Havoline, etc is not good for the clutches.

 

Thanks for all your help, i really appreciate it
