I was wondering what kind of clutch kit would be the best for my F7. Anyone with knowloedge about different companies clutch kits and what is the best one info would be appreciated. I was considering either a speedworks clutch kit. but i have been hearing good things about the heelclicker clutch kits too. What do you think is the best?

thanks

I would check out hte stock tuning first. It may come set up well from the factory. Try it first and then decide what you want to change. No one has any real experience with the F7 clutching other than what is run in the Pro racing circuit which has little correlation to every day use. Try it stock, you may like it! Good Luck!

thanks.

I was no really asking for experiance clutching on the f7... i was asking if anyone ha any experince on clutching and what compnay makes the best clutch kit? if anyone knows. tahnks a lot.

The clutch kit from D&D really woke up my 02 ZR600, inaddition to the power breather. *Probably could use a little fine tuning, but very happy with it.

I tried a D&D kit on my ZRT and it was worse that stock, went to a Goodwin and man, can I spank em now.

GOODWIN, *Now your talking!!

best bet would be to get a goodwin or a d&d they have the best ones i think

GOODWIN PERFORMANCE!!!!!!! I've had 3 different brands of sleds over the past few years and ran Goodwin kits in all of them. They have all been great. Greg Goodwin is one of the most knowledgeable tuners in the business. They do extensive testing on the asphalt and in the grass before they get them in the snow. They don't offer a kit until they've had a chance to put real miles on them to make sure they work well. They're super people to talk with also. They are happy to answer your questions and help as much as possible.

Go for the Goodwin...you won't be disapointed *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I have been thinking about getting a clutch kit as well. *What about Speedwerx? *Anyone have one? *Are they any good? *There is quite a bit of price difference between a Goodwin Clutch kit and Speedwerx, anyone know if there is a big difference?

Thanks.

Speedwerx and Goodwin both put together good kits. *One of the differences is that Speedwerx uses titanium springs in their kit which are very accurate and consistant. The titanium springs is why it cost so much.

So a Goodwin clutch kit would be worth putting on a 95 zrt800? I'm guessing this by your remarks ZRTsledhead and arcticzrt600. Do they have a good trail setup? Thanks guys this search works great.

If you contact Goodwyn and ask for Greg he will give you exact details of the kit they offer for your sled. I've bought several of their kits over the years and have always been pleased with the performance gain. *Their customer service is second to none.

I looked into a speedwerx clutch kit with titanium springs and its going to cost about $620can installed not including fine tuning it for my sled. Instead of putting a kit in does anyone have a good clutch setup for a totally stock 95 zrt800?

Stock 95 ZRT @ sea level with the 95 comet/arctic clutch:
Drive:
Comet Purple spring #207888 @ $11.50
2 or 3 comet spring washers #203849 @ $7.00
weights, the 95 stock have a engagement notch stock and work real well.

Driven:
stock 57/50 helex and yellow spring
add any brand roller cover.
23/40 gear
410 MJ
This is alot of beer and 7 years ago, but it shoud be right.
Shift @ 8200, Worked good for 95's only.

I have a D&D clutch kit in my 00ZR600. I found that it wake my sled up, I think that it could use a little tuning though. Other than that I am happy with D&D. Don't have any experience with any other ones so I can't compare.

Surprised no one has a custom kit. *The shop that put one in my ZR machined the weights and helix themselves.

ToyDoc, can I keep my chain or do I need to get a new one changing to those gears? Could I go to 23/39 gearing (24/39 is what I have now)?

I have a custom kit on my ZRT built by Competition Sports Equipment (a local speed shop). *He custom ground my weights, different primary spring, and added an Earlandson Helix. *No complaints.

Any contact info for Goodwyn. Do you think they would make a clutch kit for 00 ZR440 Sno Pro's.

zert, same chain and stock is 24/39 to much gear for the stock engine or any sled. Just my 2 cents.
The above setup should be low to mid 90's mph in 660' runs.
The kits from D&D, goodwyn, EPI.. are all good from what I see.
But if you like to know more about clutching you can start with the parts I list and build from that, The guys to beat are clutch guy's not HP guy's.

Does anyone know how to get the clutch to engage a little earlier. Mine engages at about 5000 to 5100 rpm. I was wondering what difference that would make. And also when it does kick in it is not smooth, it's like it one second it'sot there then wham its there?

Green Sixer, The place to start would be to clean and inspect both clutches, replace any worn or suspect parts, check clutch alignment, check for loose and or broken motor mounts, check the belt condition and deflection. By the time you check it over and do whats required your smooth engagement will likely have returned. Rick. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Thanks ZR Sled Head 5000 to 5100 is that a good engagement for a D&D aftermarket clutch kit? Can I get it to engage earlier? What will that do or should I just leave it the way it is? Thanks for your help!!!

Well, I wasn't going to say anything but as usual, I just can't help it! I have been running my Mach Z with lots of Cats and can tell you that if you don't mind a little tuning (or getting the experience), the heelclickers are the way to go. You can adjust the heelclickers to anything you want. They have excellant starting recommendations. I have seen it turn a fair stock clutch into a fantastic clutch time and time again. I can e-mail you on where to get them and he can usually give you a nice set up too. Just e-mail me at spkrdctr@aol.com * Now if you do not want to do any tuning on the clutch, then by all means get a kit from either Goodwin or D&D as the other posts recommend. Good Luck!

Green Sixer, I would call both D@D and Goodwyn, after giving them the complete details of your sled along with how and where you ride they should be able to better answer your question. I would assume D@D will assist you over the phone as I know Goodwyn does. Good Luck Rick. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Ya I will give them a call. Thanks http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
