Default Problem with clutch

I have added a few things to my Raptor but before i did all this my clutch was solid.
I changed my front sprocket to a 12t and my rear to a 42t.
I also had the mac daddy rebould on my rear shock.
And last of all I got a ebrake eliminator and a new clutch perch.
My problem is it seems like my clutch is slipping whan I snap the throttle I cant even wheely in 2nd gear
I tried to adjust clutch lever and even put the old perch back on.
Any help would be great.....

You said anything so here goes. First off it sounds like its out of adjustment, so whenyou changed the perch did you change cables? If you did maybe you routed it wrong and it is binding. I don't know what else it would be if you changed back to the origonal perch and it still did it.

Thats what I keep thinking that it is not adjusted right but I have checked about 20 times removing the cable and starting from scratch making sure the clutch lever marks are lined up and everything but still nothing. Do you think by installing a smaller sprocket gave me to much torque or with the new shock which sit about 3 inches lower would have anything to do with this. with these mod does it just emphesize the clutch problem. My next step will be to remove the clutch cover and look at the springs and the clutch plates. Anyother suggestion I might try????

How much did you pay for your shock to be done? And how long did it take? I'm guessing you went SSD W/stock shock revalveing.

LOWBOWTIE I sent my shock to the Quad-Shop for a rebuild (I blew the bladder on mine) I went with the kit that they call a MAC-DADDY rebuild were the set everything up to your weight and style of riding which comes with the self sagging. I have not got a chance to jump with it yet because of my clutch. I think they did a good job and it cost about $368.00 but if your shock is still good it should cost less. It only cost my about $7 to ship shock ups to them. Turn around time about a week. My next purchase will be long travel houser a-arms and elka front shocks which the Quad-Shop carries also...unless my clutch is screwed

My guess is if you checked everything else perhaps the chain is slipping. I would check for proper adjustment..

The clutch lever is good and so is the chain. I will pull the clutch apart and replace that seems to be the only thing it could be.
I am thinking of getting the GYT Heavy Duty Clutch Kit GYT-5LP56-30-00 $109.95

any ony have any luck with this kit and I was wondering if the spring were the heavy duty ones like Barnett High Performance Clutch Springs .....
