Thinking about getting a clutch kit for my Kodiak. Can't decide between the sport utility or mudder, I go through some pretty thick mud and it does fine right now with just a shim and upgraded belt. I use my wheeler for mostly riding around and mudding, I have two other wheelers for work, Kodiak is just for play. I need more low end power to get through the mud easier but don't want to lose a lot of top end speed at the same time, but if I get more punch at the low end I will be happy. I run 28" outlaw skinnies. Any inputs from you guys who have either/or would be greatly appreciated.
A "kit" will give you a combination of weights , secondary spring and stall springs, maybe some shims thrown in there. Some have a machined sheave.
All of those parts are available as individual purchases. My understanding is that the stall springs do only bad to your wet clutch and you shouldn't install them. The shim you already installed and don't need it anymore or you can change the amount of it. Secondary spring- you need it if your belt is slipping. What is the upgraded belt you installed, first time I hear about it?
And if that is not enough you can get a machined sheave from JBS , Coop45 Hunterworks - you choice.
If you are concerned with loosing the top end after shim consider the Dr. Pulley OD weights, you will get the top end back after the shim mod. I have those and I gained about 10MPH compared with stock round weights.
