I just had my local dealer install new bushings in my clutch. After the first ride I parked the sled and a week later I went to load my sled on my truck and the clutch would not engage. Looks like the bushing is seized on the shaft.
Anyhow I tried move it and accidentally put a small hairline crack in the outer sheave where the slide bushings are. I ordered a new outer sheave and one guy is telling me it needs to be balanced and others are telling me it does not need it. What are your thoughts?
A local machine shop wants $120.00 to do the balancing. I will most likely go ahead and do it to play it safe but just wanted to see what people have done in past?

I was gonna have allen at ulmer replace both my sheaves and he said it would need to be balanced as the two don't come as a matching set. I would said if just replacing one it should def be done! Talk to him im sure he would do it for ya.
The clutch does not nned to be balanced. I have replaved every part imaginable with out balancing & it,s allways smooth.

Sorry to say it, but you're wrong. The stationary sheave is balanced separately and you can not reference it with an X. It ends up wherever the tightening of the threads take it. I had the primary on my turbo Nytro checked and it was out 9 grams on the outside and 18 grams on the inside!! Had it done locally at a place called Cascade Clutch and Performance. Top notch work with brand new state of the art equipment.

Exactly. Just thought I could add to it.
I had to catch my breath when I seen Turks post.

I hear you. Just because the parts are individually balanced is no guarantee that the completed assy will be balanced. Some Skidoo clutches have been as far as 35 grams out. Even my Yammy clutch was out by quite a bit. Those few grams turn into huge imbalances at 7000+ rpm. One of the best things you can do for your clutch.

Well for the average dude it will be close....but for you or me or someone with Lot's of mods done it is good to get them balanced
