Yamaha Grizzly 700 CVT Primary Clutch Cleaning
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2014
- Almost 5000kms. on the Yamaha Grizzly 700, so we figured we better clean up the front primary clutch. It really wasn't that bad but got it done anyways. Also changed the belt while we were in there but the original showed hardly any wear. It did have some small cracking going on between the cogs though.
Couldn't find any Yamaha Grizzly Grease so we used Lucas Xtra Heavy Duty Wheel Bearing Grease. Seems to work fine so far.
This isn't meant to be a How-To as it was the first time we did it, but we thought some of you might like to see what it looks like inside there if you never have before.
Please consult your shop manual for the proper procedures and bolt torque specifications for your ride.

Great video, Master Mechanic.
Great job, was very happy to see this video. I enjoy watching maintenance being performed, and picking up great info.
Walter B Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed the video..hope you found it helpful.
Nice to know the set up hasn’t changed i have 03 Yamaha Kodak 4x4 and the belt drive is the same.
Never owned a Grizz, always a Kodiak, good machines these Yams, Liked the video as I had never seen the inside but knew how they operated, still, very informative. Watched your last vid. and still saw a couple of patches of snow but it will be starting to dry up by now. Good job/videos.
I think we're about a month behind in our videos, and finally the snow is all gone, but now it wont' stop raining! Go figure, now the mosquitos are so bad they could pick you up and carry you away. Glad you enjoyed the vid..these clutches are amazing! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video! New to ATVs and trying to get a grip on how they work so this has helped me a lot. Just bought a 2016 Kawasaki Teryx and plan on doing the belt myself to save money. Now all I need now is a video on how to get TO the CVT on a Teryx and I'll be set LOL.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Congratulations on your new Teryx..bet you'll have a blast with it. Happy trails and thanks for stopping by!
Interesting.
I now know about CVT clutches, belts, bushing, bearing, thing-a-ma-jingies. lol
Thanx for sharin'!
It's those thing-a-ma-jingies that can be tricky LOL thanks for stopping by and checking out the vid!
Funny we were just talking about this on Facebook and now your teaching me how to do it haha. Mucho gracias amigo
Andrew Humm Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching.
thank you from Kazakhstan, we'll glad to see new videos.
Woohoo...COOL...Kazakhstan! Many ATV trails in your area? Thanks very much for watching!
A lot, our nature so different and we have mountains, steppe, forest.
Something I should be thinking I should be doing, I know a few rides back a bit of water got in there, Its time to repack my clutch I really like the background music, Good video thanks
Glad you enjoyed the vid, and I'm glad I got my clutch cleaned out...amazing how much dirt/sand can get in there! Thanks for watching.
4500 miles on my grizzly, i have never done this and have never had any issues. I have only done regular oil changes, air filter maintenance, coolant change, 1 spark plug, and replaced battery once. still runs like the day i bought it off the showroom floor.
Yours is in desperate need of a cleaning then. Especially if you have spent any time in dusty conditions. Your grease will get hard and the rollers can't travel the full channel.
Thanks ..that was a very informative video. Very easy to do the job myself. Thanks Cubee.
+lewandlo Glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for watching!
I just looked at my cvt belt for the 1st time in 18 years on my 2000 Yamaha Kodiak bought it new in 1999 and never looked at it till today it had a few small cracks in it but over all it is in good shape.
That's amazing...talk about long lasting!
I should do that on my quad when I get round to it. 2005 Suzuki LTA700 had it from new its 11 years old now. it's mainly used for the work I do fencing and grass cutting in the north west of Scotland. Thanks for the videos most of my quad driving is on steep ground with a trailer so the Suzuki gets a lot of abuse but they can handle it Yamahas are the same
+John MacRae Although the belt was in good shape, we were surprised at how dirty the clutch was..well worth checking it out! Glad you enjoyed the video.
haha cubbee your loop music was epic :P well i liked it as you did it :)
Greets from Belgium
Glad you enjoyed the vid Colin!
i always enjoy man :D well im gonna say it this time Grizzleeeyh :D
greets from belgium
Hi very thing looked in good shape. I also bot a 1999 grizzly 600 and enjoying it on the trail.
Yes, it is holding up really well. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, very good video. Very helpful to the rest of us
+Keith Snow Glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching.
Well done, Cubbee!
Last year i tried a 1mm shim on my Kingquad, lost ~10km/h, had a higher gas mileage because the higher rpms and only a little bit more power. Nothing for 70% road use.... :)
Glad you enjoyed the vid. Nice ride you have there...amazing how something as small as a 1mm shim can impact our rides!
Great job Cubbee, I was a newby with this job just a month ago and it went very well. Mine was at about 5400 kms (though with larger tires and then tracks the last 4 or 5 years the odometer has to be a little off) and there were zero cracks between the lugs. The grease was far too dirty and tacky but it was still doing surprisingly well. Lost maybe 2mm on the belt in both dimensions, remarkable. Allegedly these are 11,000km clutches. We dropped in four 14.7gram Dalton kit weights (a real pain to press out the stock ones and re-insert the others) but what a difference on the low end, snappy! Pretty much the same thing as the "Kodiak Conversion." The only difference I learned different was putting some grease on the outside of the cam plate, into the wells above the sliders but looked very good to this newby and I watched a lot of vids on it! Fantastic overview. We did pull of the brake lever, good to know it's doable without that. We didn't bother with the side panel above the clutch, worked out well. Looking forward to seeing that Grizz wheelie even better now as the rollers should move smooth as silk now. Any flat spots on the plastic roller housings?
The Grizz wheelies just as good, and I think I might have gained a bit back on the top end. LOL I have noticed it is a bit quieter now too...less "whining". The roller housings look good, and hopefully they'll be good for another 4500km's. It sure was a messy job getting all the old grease out. What did you use to clean it? I used varsol and brake cleaner but still took a lot of rags. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yes, noticed it ran quieter too. I just used a can of degreaser after wiping out as much as I could with paper towels. Totally grungy job! We really don't need any more top end in those short little wheel bases anyway! What a clutch those Yamahas have!!
Canesser
Sounds like you cleaned yours like I did mine! Messy!
***** engine degreaser and a pressure washer.. :P
warmfreeze
Yes, that would do the trick I bet!
Great video, very informative.
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful
excellent video. small edit maybe it was a kodiak thing but he top right and bottom left of the cage where longer than the other two
Can I hit everything inside of there with brakleen to clean it up?
Workin' on the Grizzlay, Nice!!
Thanks for checking out the vid!
Video mim ajudou muito. Eatava a procura de algo parecido. Brasil 🖐
Great video. Thanks for making it.
Love the Griz!
Do you service your quad at a mechanics or do you know a bit your self
Just out of curiosity how come you didn't take the secondary clutch off and clean up the sheaves with a scotchbright pad?
I remember back when I had my 660 grizzly it seemed like it was a bit sluggish even after putting on a new belt. Originally thought the belt was defective, it was a less expensive aftermarket belt. Apparently the clutch weights had some gunk around them and weren't allowing the clutch to engage quite as quickly or strongly as it could. Took them out and soaked them in some diesel fuel to clean all the gunk off and put it all back together and it seemed like a new machine then. I guess we went through more sand and mud than we realized and somehow it had gotten in there, I don't think it was sealed well. It really made a huge difference in the performance of the machine.
That's good to know Greg...you wonder how dirt/sand gets into some of these places! But it does! Cleaning I guess just makes everything run smoother again. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the vid and commenting!
Also the Grease that Yamaha uses is called Ultramatic Grease
So I commented awhile ago on this video & I would like to say I used the exact same grease & looked up how much to put on the rollers & around them. That particular grease did not hold up to the job. At first I thought it was great but within the first 100 miles it looked like it couldn't withstand the heat. I do not recommend this stuff at all. Still love your videos & you give great tutorials.
+Johnathon Dailey Sorry to hear about the grease not withstanding the heat. We just used what we could get locally and after a few more thousand kilometers on the Grizzly since we made this video we haven't had any issues with ours. Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for watching.
Hey guys, i just got it done on my grizzly 450 at the local Yamahastore, the serviceguy is very experienced and probably very old to and he told me that he wiped all the old greese out with papertowel and then washed the variatorparts in gasoline and a small brush...easy and cheap...he also told me that the clutch on the 450 is identical with the one on grizzly 700 and he used 200 grams ( 1/5 kilo ) to re-greese it...it now runs very smooth!
He also told me that the most Grizzlys has a problem with the left rear axel seal...its often leaks of oil because it is not mounted spot on from factory so check that out on your bike (they repair that on warranty)...also he adjusted the front Wheel`s from 6 millimeter ( 1/4 inch ) toe-out to 2 millimeter toe-in because it is way off from factory and my bike runs straight as an Arrow on the road now...just a feew tips for you guys!
Now drive safe =)
Thanks for the tips Joakim, sounds like your mechanic knows what he's doing! Sometimes the little "tweeks" can make all the difference. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Wow this new transmissiona at so easy compared to a geared trans
Nice informative video, thanks.
Thanks, glad you found it helpful.
I have bean offerd to buy a grizzly 700 07 whit 17000km and 1200h on the clock .would go cheap but..ho mutch can they take
Great info thanks
Very good job Cubbee! I really enjoyed seeing an up close view of the Grizz to see how it is designed. I have to admit, I had never seen the inside of those clutches in a CVT until now. Thanks for showing the internals of the CVT and how you did the service job. I thought one time I had read something about CVT transmissions having a fan to cool the belt and clutches? Is this true, does yours have a cooling fan for the CVT? Thanks for taking the time to make the video, I enjoyed it!!!!
Hi Palomino! Thanks for checking out the vid. The CVT design is pretty cool and so simple. There is a fan, but not specific for the clutch...it does kick in when the engine starts getting warm..it is located up at the front more. Thanks again, and happy riding!
Good job, thanks for the info.
lyle skaalid Glad you enjoyed the video!
Awesome thank you for the answers!
+Johnathon Dailey You are welcome!
Very helpful video, thanks for doing it. Just curious where you got that little spacer? Would that work for an '09 550?
Glad you enjoyed the video. The spacer came from a snowmobile/ATV dealer...yes should also work on an 2009 550. Here is a link to a forum thread that gives tons of great information about the shim mod forum.highlifter.com/Grizz-700-shim-mod-question-m3944807.aspx Good luck!
Great video for us DIY's!
+weldion Glad you found it helpful! THanks for watching.
+cubbeezx I added a clutch kit to my Grizzly today, so I had a few steps more with my clutch work.
Great vid thanks
Thank you!
Thank you
Looks like you're a pro at this. Haha. If you hadn't told us it was your first time I would have though that you'd done many of these before. Lol. It's a pretty slick system. So simple. I think those will take over the market if they haven't already. My lawn mower might have something similar to that in it. It's an automatic. I've been trying to figure out how it works. This video did help. You forgot to try reverse. Lol. I'm sure it worked though. If you have all of that apart you might as well change the belt. You made the right decision there. Great video as usual.
I had taken the clutch apart once before when I installed the shim, so I guess I kind of new what to expect, but glad you enjoyed the vid. Yes, the CVT clutch is simple but very effective. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Oh. I missed that. lol. No problem.
any advice on getting the cover plate off of the primary sheave? I've removed the small screws and copper washers but it doesn't want to move and wouldn't rather not bend/break it
There is a big o'ring in there which makes it kind of tight to get off...don't want to damage it but maybe go around the cover with a screwdriver and gently "pry" it off..I think that is what we did...but it is a bit tricky.
You are soooooooooooooooo helpful.
Thanks.
Jon
cuttingwoodagain Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.
Great video!
Question...
Will shims benefit the 2016/17s as well??? and are the clutches and the whole procedure you performed in the video the same with 2016/17?
Thanks!
Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed the video. As far as I know the clutch's are the same, but as we don't have a newer one can't say for sure. Thanks for stopping by.
Nice video Cubbee Guy !! Good info for those that have that type of clutch. It's not needed I'm sure, but I use to put a new belt on every winter just before tracking season. But that's me. And I switched my Grizz clutch over to a greaseless setup, have you thought about that ?? Anyway, good job & Thanks for shar'in the info !!
Thanks Gunny! Ya, I had a new belt, so I changed it but I am sure there was lots of life in that old one yet. The greaseless setup would be nice but I am thinking by the time I have to do it again, I will probably be driving something newer. Well, it doesn't hurt to dream does it? lol Thanks for stopping by for a look.
Finally got it, appreciate the response.
I do have another question, I stripped the 22mm bolt that holds the sheave (primary) on. Can I use any 22mm (16mmx1 inner diameter) bolt to replace it ?
As long as it is a good quality bolt I don't see why not...bummer!
Thanks for posting great info. What year is your grizz? And how often should this be done?
If your in dusty conditions often, do this every year or 2. Or around 2000-3000 miles roughly. You can go greaseless on the rollers, but make sure to lube the shaft and carrier bushing. The grease is not for lubrication, it's for noise suppression.
Great vid. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
I got almost 26,000 km on my 2012 the clutch system has never been touched original belt as well , works A1 , Yamaha reliability .
sledhead1200 WOW. That is impressive!!!! Our Yamaha's have been reliable too...great to not have to fix them..just ride! Thanks for watching.
cubbie.i have a question.i am about to put the shims in my 2001 600 grizzly.i wanna put 28 inch tires on it.would the inch and a half be good for me too?or should i do more or less?
Cubbee said you could try that....you can't put too much more. Our Grizzly has 27" tires, so 28" aren't too much bigger
What are you using to talk through when you make your video's and to each other when you go on rides? Thanks
We use SENA bluetooth helmet communicators along with the audio backpack they make that attaches to one of our Gopro's and records our conversations. You can check them out at www.sena.com or the links in our video description
Very good and a great help for anyone undertaking this job. But, may I say this is actually belt replacement and roller housing cleaning NOT clutch cleaning. The clutch is a wet plate unit inside the engine and servicing of the clutch is more involved. BUT, thank you !!!
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video!
Hey Cubbee, I just did the same thing to a King Quad. Same belt too. Man that dust was a pain to clean! I thought it was odd that the Yamaha used grease where the rollers are. Seems like it would make them sticky. Obviously not, since they work so well.
Yes, it was a messy little job alright. I don't know why they use grease, but the clutch was quieter with the new clean grease in it. Thanks for watching.
Thats what i was thinking. my old cat is the same system and runs dry in the roller area.
EXCELLLLLLLLENT JOB SIR TY
Thanks very much for watching!
Very nice Vid ..... THX for shareing
sean tap Thanks for watching!
Is the wet clutch outer shaft same diameter as the rhino? where did you pick up the shims? Are they actually washers?
+Rhino Rider Not sure if they are the same as the rhino..haven't had any experience with them. The shims look like washers...they came from a snowmobile dealer but not made specifically for the shim mod. Here is a link that might help forum.highlifter.com/Grizz-700-shim-mod-question-m3944807.aspx
GREAT JOB!!!!! Question, how noisy is your clutch? I have a 2016 and it has a very noticeable rattle. Only have 400 miles on it too.
Thanks! No noise on our Grizzly clutch....seems odd you would have a noise with only 400 miles on it..ours now has over 5000 miles on it now and so far so good
Great video! Is the nut that holds the clutch on lefthanded thread?
Hmmm, it's been awhile...and my memory isn't so good these days. If it was left handed thread I would have mentioned it in the video...we do have to clean it again very soon, so will find out for sure then!
Nice video. I just hit 713km on my 13 grizz 450 so hopefully I won't have to this any time soon but nice to know it's there when I need it. Have you done any service on your yamaha 's lately. I'd like to see a video of it. No pressure just like to see how it's done. Nice video again. Keep em coming.
Hey Big Grizzly! Nice rid you have there. The clutch/belt were the last items I've done, but it wont be long before we need to clean our air filters....pretty dusty rides lately. THanks for watching.
Awesome How to vid, Did you replace Belt with stock Yamaha parts or use another brand. The grease looks like Marine grease. I need to tear into my 450 one day and do the same. Thanks for posting.
Thanks very much! I'm sure the aftermarket belts are fine but we went with a Yamaha belt, just to be sure. Surprised at how much "dirt" was actually in the clutch mixed in with the grease! Appreciate you checking out the vid.
Hi
Are you glad you did the shim mod?? Im just about to start to put 1.5 mm in my 2017 grizzly. I do feel its a bit sluggish out of the hole, esp with bighorn tire upgrade
Really glad we did the shim mod. Lost a bit of bottom end when the bigger tires went on and the shim mod got it back. Nice easy fix. (You will lose a bit of top end, but still worth it!)
Thanks that helps
How did you find using the Lucas xtra heavy duty grease in the clutch instead of ultramatic grease? Is it working well? How is it in the winter cold? Great videos. Thanks, Dave D
We haven’t used the ATV’s much the last couple of years but when we didnin the winter the grease seemed to hold up well.
what Cleanser did you use to clean the Primary Clutch Kit ?
Raul Venegas We sprayed brake cleaner in it, used lots of rags and wiped away all the dirt...worked good.
actually, since there's a thick layer of teflon all around the rollers, there's no need to put any grease.
I do a little in the inside of the spacer u show at 7.42.
the clutch systems are very very similar to each other (suzuki and yamaha). I think the same for the brute force, while the honda rincon works completely different . The honda 's got a very sophisticated shift , I would like to try it someday
Well you inspired me with this one so I dove in headfirst and adjusted the valves on mine today. I have an 09 700 and after you get all the plastic off its pretty easy if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. Have you attempted this yet or do you leave internals to the dealer? Mine were too tight and they haven't been adjusted since new. Some say the Grizz's tighten up during break in. I believe it. Measured at .003 before adjusting to specs marked under seat. Runs way better. Can you say "WHEELIE!!!"?
Hey! Right on and good for you rolling up your sleeves and "digging" in! I keep saying I should check the valves but I haven't yet. I too had heard that they adjust themselves after break in. Good to know and that it helped performance....who doesn't want to WHEELIE on a Grizz. Might have to be my next "maintenance". Thanks for watching and commenting!
I can tell belt isnt coming up all the way on the primary clutch so yeah like you said you're loosing some top end but gained some bottom end by shimming primary. How much did you gain ? Wondering if its worth it to do on my machine?
It was well worth doing the shim mod....just gave it that "instant oomph"...wouldn't wheelie before and after the shim....no problem at all!
You showed where the 1mm shim went ,where did you have to put the .5 mm shim? On the end of the spacer?
Corrie Cole Both shims go together to make a total of 1.5mm
nice job....well done
+mikeatc33 Thanks very much for watching!
cubbeezx I am buying a grizzly with a clutch gone is it easy to replace
Can somebody tell me what workhorse to buy for logging and snow showeling?
Quality and strong 4x4 is a must... Regards from Norway
Thanks :)
Can our viewers help our viewer from Norway out with suggestions?
Nice! I'm thinking a belt job on my Polaris 850 XP might be a bit of a nightmare as the clutch housing is out back beneath the seat right by the rear diff. They say that my Polaris belt is good for 5000 miles but if I can get 5000 kilometers out of mine then I'll be happy.
That sounds like it might be kind of tricky for sure...best to check the belt..we didn't now what to expect as had no idea how long the belt might last either. Thanks for watching!
What did you use to remove/clean the old grease?
It has been awhile so can’t remember for sure. A lot of rags, brake cleaner and maybe varsol. Ours needs to be done again...maybe this summer!
Which bolts did you use to separate the clutch
I remember the bolts were on the cover but it's been so long since we did this can't remember exactly. Have to check it out again soon!
Perfect!
Hello Cubbeezx! My friend and me with our Grizzlys rode on the too dry snow. You can find recent short video in my channel. We have radiators upstairs and after 10 minutes riding our belts CVT began to slip like after deep water and we could not continue the journey. What can you say to avoid these problem? Thank you.
+Russell Barms Sounds like you might be getting snow in your breather....haven't run into that before. Maybe you could get some kind of screen to put in front of the cooling duct for your clutches? Just a thought. Thanks for watching!
+Russell Barms Will try and check out your vid.
Got some 28" zillas on the way for my grizz! Question. I have the shims ordered and wondering what is best way to attach the 1mm and .5mm shim together to make 1? Thanks cubee!
To make 1.5mm" shim or do they not haveto be glued together or however you have them attached?
We didn't glue ours ...just put them together and when everything is back together they stay in place (had it like this now for over 7000 km's and no issues with it!)
Wow awesome news! Thanks cubee new to this shimming biz. Your vids and comments are extremely helpful. Thank you
Pernah saya melakukanya
hi again cubbee, I was surprised to see as little wear as you have on that belt, it show that the Yamaha BEASTS are all well built and will last too. Was that new belt O,E part?
Good to see what you r up too and I hope to be putting up a few vids of my own soon. keep mud plugging and have fun.
We didn't know what to expect as far as the condition of the belt, but yeah, we were amazed...it looked almost brand new...hardly any wear at all! We did get a new Yamaha to replace...thought we better stay OEM. Thanks for watching.
always better to keep to original parts unless a better upgrade is available. but that's what the beasts are made for, happy mud plugging
Where did you buy the cluch kit it
Keeshawn Smith We just got a 1.5mm shim...had it laying around from our snowmobile days...you can get them off ebay
Very good video. Thank you.. By the way. I have not heard you oooga horn yet. I mean since your doing maintenance. lol
Glad you enjoyed the vid! You're right...no "ooga horn" yet...LOL
What do you use to make the plastics look brand new? Only 1800 miles on mine, stored inside so there's no oxidization, and I wash it after every ride and still I have mud stains and can't get the plastics to shine
After bucket washing the ATV's with soap and water, we spray them with a "tire shine" product...doesn't last long, but sure makes them look great for awhile! Here is a video CK made about detailing her ATV if you are interested ua-cam.com/video/OXqRapfszU8/v-deo.html
cubbeezx thanks so much! Gonna give her a try
Crc 656
Im having a brutel time trying to get the ratchet strap to hold the primary so i can torque the 22 mil bolt -_- so frustrated lol any tips? Great video btw!
I wrapped our ratchet strap around a couple of times and tied it to the foot peg if I remember correctly....it isn't easy though! Hope you eventually get it and thanks for watching.
cubbeezx may buy a clutch holder from tusk i cant get ratchet strap to hold lol. Thanks. P.s my belt looked miint at 3400 km's. And those were some tuff km's!! Lol
Maybe you could take your old belt and put it on CKs Yamaha and she could start popping wheelies!!! Lol. That would be epic for sure!
If only that would work....CK would be yelling "wheeeeeelie" LOL Thanks for checking out the vid.
Just picked up a '13 550 with 800km. Have had it for about 4 days, almost at 1k now. Loving it so far. I noticed when you were revving it with the clutch cover off at around the 12:59 and 13:09 marks, there was a knocking noise at the begging of each rev. Seems like my 550 makes this noise as well. Is this common with Yamahas? Was getting scared that I bought a unit with a bad bottom end.
Watch a lot of your Vids Cubbee, hope to do a lot of exploring of Manitoba over the next couple of years haha!
Listened to the video again and the noise I think you are referring to is the "blip" of the throttle..but kind of hard to tell....if yours sounds like ours then I don' think I'd be concerned as ours now has over 8000 km's on it and it's running great! Thanks for checking out our videos and hope you get out exploring. Happy Trails!
Thankyou
What did you use for a De-Greaser ? I usually use WD-40 or brake cleaner but for something as important as that, I might go buy GUNK stuff.... thanks for sharing, I'm at 4500klm so my times is coming too haha.
I used varsol and brake cleaner...and lots of rags...sticky stuff and it was messy! Thanks for watching and good luck!
haha nice, thanks !! loved the maintanince videos
Maritimer
Thanks for watching Maritimer!
Hey cubbee I just got my new 2014 yamaha kodiak 450 and I'm trying to start a quad based youtube channel do u have any advice for someone starting out
Congrats on the new ride! I'd say it's about quality not quantity...if you're having a good time riding your viewers will also enjoy it. Good luck!
Why did you "torque" your "floor board" bolts? 😂
After I cleaned mine out I fell like my clutch makes a lot more of a "wining" sound did you notice this as well? Maybe it sounds the same and I'm just worried about nothing
Hey Nick, actually my clutch is quieter now I've cleaned it...the "whining" it was making seems to have gone away.......did you replace your belt too?
no it was in great shape so i just left it, when i first start to move the clutch doesnt whine but after about 3-4 mph it gets loud, other than that everything seems the same no power loss or anything. im thinking it may all be in my head and that is was always like that
Suzuki kingquad got same clutch. But why grizzly uses oil in cvt?
Lukas Juozaitis. The wet clutch runs in the engine oil..just like the Suzuki
Nooo. I mean yamaha in cvt primary have grease. And suzuki kingquad cvt looks same but has jo grease. I want to know the difference If you know.
Oh, was there any special tools needed to repack your clutch?
+Johnathon Dailey I used an impact gun to get the nut off, but you don't have to. No special tools for what I did in the video.
How many miles was on ur clutch for this service?
We had 5000 km's on the Grizzly at the time
did you done cvt in 450? how tight did you torque that cvt bolt? you said here in g700 is 100 ft lb.
+Kamil Szczepaniec Yes we did the CVT on the 450 too. Can't quite remember but I think it was 75 ft lbs...a little less than the Grizzly.
+cubbeezx thanks!
+Kamil Szczepaniec Yep, 75 is good. My 2003 450 manual actually says 72, so 75 is close enough! Thanks cubbeezx.
56pw thank you a lot!!!
you said torque it to 100 FTLBS, what did you say about the 72 ftlbs??
W. Gator 100 is for the Primary clutch and 72 was for the back secondary clutch
thanks, appreciate your reply.
just to add to your belt install. You should always be able to read your belts once on the machine. If your words are backwards ...so ir your belt.
Yes, I mentioned that in another comment. Forgot to put it in the video but it's on the right way.
Cool video , never seen grease in a clutch before, neither my polaris or arctic cat do, wouldn't that stop the rollers from moving freely ? Good work cubbee
Thanks! They do make "greaseless" rollers but both the Grizzly and the Kodiak stock clutches need grease. Thanks for watching.
I think there are different types of CVTs depending on brand. I think yamaha uses a wet clutch system so that the belt is always engaged where as some other brands use a kinda of slip system where the belt is actually disengaged at idle. Not sure of all brands use which, but I am fairly certain polaris uses the slippy system. Probably why you didn't notice any grease.
Where do you get the shims, from the dealer
If you can find the right size you can get them from the hardware store...just like a washer but usually they don't carry them that thin. Yes these came from the dealer
Thank You for the info
did that shim make a noticeable difference?
Yes, at bottom end it sure did....lost a bit of top end when we did it, but more than made up for it at the bottom...WHEELIE! LOL
What are the shims called and where can u get them. Plan on upgrading tires need this fix. Thanks .
