Disassemble, clean a clutch
Step-by-step approach to a clean machine will improve performance
Published:
September 20, 2011 Your snowmobile clutches are an important link for transferring the engine’s power to the snow. Maintenance and modifications are endless, so where does one start with such an important link?
The factories produce the stock clutching or calibration with a broad range of use in mind. In most cases this range fills the needs of the average rider.
Far too often snowmobile clutches are forgotten, but when it’s time to do clutch work many people want to upgrade to new or high-performance parts. This is not always the answer; a general cleaning is the key to top performance, not necessarily adding performance parts.
The next time you are at the races take a close look at the mechanics in the pits. They will be taking the belt off and checking the clutches between races. Top mechanics know that peak performance often is found in the clutches. |
