Max Tire size for stock clutch?

23256 Views 13 Replies 10 Participants Last post by  Vincent
Just wondering what the opinions are on tire sizes with stock clutching on the 700. I know the kodiak has heavier clutch weights so I'm worried that if I go higher than 26s I'll get bad throttle response/clutch issues. My friend runs 27in mudlites on his '14 grizzly without any issues. I know his clutch is lighter, but my motor is bigger...soooo, would 27s be safe?

Best way to find out how the 27's work is to borrow your friends 27" wheels/tires and play around a little with them. You might have to do some clutch work going over 26's.

I've got 27" mega Mayhem's and it'll walk a 50 yard wheelie in high so no problems with mine
How do you get it to wheelie regardless of tire size?
i wheelied my 700 with stock tires on it in low just stand up slam your butt down on the back of the seat and hammer the throttle down, i just put 26in tires on so i havent tried to wheelie yet but it took some doing with stock tires so i doubt it will do it with my 26s on it without the clutch work being done
ive read good and bad things about the mega mayhems, whats your take on them? can they be a trail tire as well as a mud tire?
My buddy just put mega mayhams on his canam and loves them for trail and mud
I have zilla 27 and I can wheelie in high and stand it straight up in low.

Yea, try doing a wheelie without that 200# weight on the back rack now....
Have. No problem whatsoever. Put it in low range and it will pop her right up.

Just so u know what kind of guy I am, I am the guy who doesn't worry about proving myself to strangers. U want to know spend some money and buy a set. Then u can do it too and thank me for the good advice later.

I run 29.5 outlaws and can still wheelie on the stuck clutch, but I don’t have quite enough low end power to spin all 4 in thick mud
