Just wondering what you guy would do? I need ideas..... ;) :)

What is your main riding style ,what is the sled mostly used for.

57/50.... :)

i would go with the a 53 with your stock yellow secon. spring. up front green/yellow and A54`s. might need a little more weight then that but a good place to start. there are many clutch kits out there. if it is a kit you want then i would recommend goodwin.

57/55

Ride alittle on the aggressive side :sarcasm: . Would you also change the cover on the secondary to a roller? or leave that stock?

Well, you know if you have some extra buck's laying around go for it. If your on a budget like most sledders them little wear buttons are really cheap. I have driven sleds with both style of clutches and I can't really tell the differance. I know there will be someone that will claim that if you can't feel the differance you would be an idiot but I am not a very sensative guy ??? .

B349, the button style cover on your driven clutch is yesterday's technology. The roller cover is far superior. It will give you much faster back shifts when trail riding, which greatly increases belt life. Also, it works equally as well for draging, rader runs, etc. The key after you install the cover (around $75 and replacement buttons are only about $15 for three), is to use the right spring. I tested many different set-ups on my '97 800 triple, and finally got it right at the end of the season. Cat does not make a factory spring that was stiff enough for mine with the roller cover. So I got an orange spring from H.P.G. That was the ticket!! I use a 57/50 helix with that spring, and that thing shifts so smooth you can hardly tell when its back-shifting. It rips out of the hole and is strong all the way-pin the smile-flipper and hang on! I ran a Dayco ultimax 2, and it has about 1400 hard miles on it--mostly very high speed riding, and it just now need replacing. Not too bad for a 7 year old sled with 150 ponies! Some day I will get a newer sled, but i will never, ever sell this one!

Hello, I am thinking of going to a roller on my 94 wildcat, my question is how do you move the clutch to get the belt on with a heavy spring? I have a hard enough time with the stock slider getting the belt on and off, or am I just a weakling, lol ??? Tom

94 WILDCAT,
I RUN AN EXTREMELY STIFF SPRING IN MY T-CAT AND KNOW WHERE YOUR COMING FROM.IF YOUR AT HOME JACK THE SLED UP AND START WALKING THE BELT AROUND THE CLUTCH.DON'T WORRY ABOUT TRYING TO OPEN THE CLUTCH.AFTER THE BELT GRIPS THE CLUTCH A LITTLE JUST SPIN THE CLUTCH AROUND TIL IT POPS ON.YOU'LL HAVE TO PLAY WITH IT A LITTLE.OUT ON THE TRAILS YOU CAN JUST HOPE YOU HAVE SOMEONE WITH YOU.DO IT THE SAME WAY EXCEPT FOR JACKING UP THE SLED.EITHER HAVE YOUR RIDING BUDDY HELP SPIN THE CLUTCH OR PULL BACK ON THE SLED WHILE YOU SPIN THE CLUTCH.THIS WILL HELP THE CLUTCH AROUND.EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN WAYS,BUT THIS HAS WORKED FOR ME.GOOD LUCK.

B349,

DAN

Well Tom, you are not a weakling. It seems like a lot of the aftermarket cl. kits these days come with real stiff driven cl. sp's. Here's what I did. Buy a chunk of PVC pipe with a 1 1/2" ID. Cut off a piece .925" long. Buy a thick washer (.1875") with a .340" hole and a dia. of 2.00". Buy a fully threaded 5/16" bolt 4.00" long. Remove the bolt and washers from your driven cl. and install the tool you just made. Crank the bolt in until it stops and your driven will be open far enough to remove or replace a belt with ease. Now I will admit this will will take a few minutes but if you were alone, well need I say more. When I finally figured out this tool and seen how well it worked (a lot of trial and error) I had a machinist friend make me one out of steel (should of made it out of alum) and carry it in my tool kit. Now the tool is only two pieces and easier yet to use. I remove the bolt when I put it into my tool kit but slide a piece of rubber tubing over the threads so they don't get damaged. Anyhow thats what I did.

We run a 60/54 with Erlandson Blue (about the same as arctic red/white) on the 800zrt.
We have found on the big blocks to keep the engagement lower, then you do not need as big of driven spring. Big driven springs are compensating for other problems.....
