ok thank you. ill look it up.1.5 shims yes, gold spring probably not. You would be fine with a purple. YouTube has a bunch of videos for the yamaha clutch mods .
If you can get a helper, remove your secondary and use your back tire / rim to compress the spring. Set the secondary on the floor and lay your tire/rim over the spring centered in the rim hole. I put my knee on the tire then push down on the other side with my hands putting my body weight on it . I then have my wife remove the retaining nut . Reverse to install new spring. I’ve done 4 this way and it’s pretty easy and free .just looked it up on YouTube. seems pretty simple. where can I get a spring compressor?
hell ya man. I like it. and its FREEIf you can get a helper, remove your secondary and use your back tire / rim to compress the spring.

is it necessary to replace the weights?The weight in grams is for each roller ( we call them weights) So factory stock is 8 rollers at 30 grams each.
Most up grade to lighter 18 or 20 gram rollers / weights.
Lighter weight help wake up the 700 Kodiak alot. if you desire lazyer performance then keep your stock weights.is it necessary to replace the weights?
ok ill have to find where to get the weights. id like to wake er up. do I just double up shims if a kit doesn't include a 1.5 shim? can get a kit with .5 and 1.0. sorry for all the questionsLighter weight help wake up the 700 Kodiak alot. if you desire lazyer performance then keep your stock weights.
what didn't you like about the spring if dont mind me asking? would you happen to have a part number or link for the weights by chance?I'm not a big fan of changing everything at once, I would suggest you do weights and shims first, you may be perfectly happy just with that.....
I recently installed a purple EPI spring and wasn't happy with it. I removed a few days later....
Side note.
I already had my coop45 machined sheave and 18 gram weight before I tried the stronger purple spring.
I really like your way of thinking.I can see this in my wifes futureIf you can get a helper, remove your secondary and use your back tire / rim to compress the spring.

Just as a reference, this is a perfect example of everyone having a personal preference when doing mods.I'm not a big fan of changing everything at once, I would suggest you do weights and shims first, you may be perfectly happy just with that.....

Just to add some background, I was already running a coop45 machined sheave and 18 gram weight BEFORE installing the EPI purple spring. In my case the factory spring works better with my 18 gram grizzly weights
Clutch tuning is indeed a personnel thing.....Just as a reference, this is a perfect example of everyone having a personal preference when doing mods.
I too have a machined sheave age 18gm grizzly weights, but for me, I love the purple epi spring, back shifting is spot on, and engine braking is amazing with this setup.
As Vincent mentioned, try things gradually, you may like a different setup. Some prefer the 20 gram weights, some even do 4x 30gm and 4x the lighter grizzly weights staggered, it's all personal preference.
