I just purchased an 07 Apex gt which has some sort of clutch kit it because it engages around 5000 rpms. It has a white primary spring and a yellow secondary spring. (the entire spring painted) I am unsure if the ramps or weights have been changed but it appears to have the stock helix. How can i tell if the ramps and weights are stock?
I am new to yamaha and really just want to start the next season with it stock so i can make my own assessment of the sled and clutching.
Also i know alot of people install clutch kits and ditch the stock stuff so if my ramps and weights end up being something other than stock i'll be looking to get a stock set if you have one.
Thanks Matt
P.S. NEW to yamaha! Do i really need any clutch tools?
Here is a pic of my primary and the weights. The holes in the ramp are empty and i assume the screw on the end is not stock anyone know what kit this came from? Or is it stock?

I would just get a kit from ulmer racing and be done with it. You can put the kits in without any clutch tools, but it is easier to install the primary kit with the clutch off the sled.

Added a pic of the screw that is confusing me.
Sorry for the novice questions but i just jumped ship from skidoo and these Yamaha clutches are all new to me.

Ok that clears that up thanks. Is this the hammertime weight i have read about exploding or can you tell if this is the updated version? Should i just go back to stock or does the heel clicker kit out perform stock?
Thanks again Matt

Those are Heel Clicker 2 Speeds. Very fast when properly tuned. Pm Turk for a good recipe for your sled.

You said the spring was yellow in the primary? I could not see it. Heel Clicker does make a gold spring, that one maybe? Like I said, pm Turk. You may want to replace that primary spring with a Heel clicker black spring or stock y-s-y Yamaha spring. And your secondary is perplexing with white spring. It could be an Arctic Cat spring....
