Clutch maintenance how-to

[yamahas]

You did it right. Now replace the circlip. The circlips lose their springyness and get deformed.
Remember, your wrist is just above that secondary.

Thank, once i get the new clip I will take a vid. Very good point in bold, I like my wrist. I was not able to find a new clip at the store, I guess I need to get it from the dealer then.

i have taken mine off about 7 times,, i always us snap ring pliers..still am using the original clip.. if you pryed it off with a screw driver.. i would replace it.. if you took it of with snap ring pliers and did not mangle it, i wouldnt worry about it..

also you can pull 1 of the spacer washers out from between the 2ndary sheaves, the belt will sit higher on the 2ndary and give some more snap off the line..

I had to use a screw driver so il be replacing mine.

If the belt it higher will it not affect the reverse?

i took both the spacers out, reverse did not work with out a ton of effort.. it would not enguage.. taking 1 out it works fine, on a brand new belt it might b an issue, but all my belts are broken in. my back up belt has 500mi on it.. i dont like the idea of having to put a brand new belt on.. so i break in my spare.. i have no issues with the 1 spacer removed..

How high should it sit. I have about 3000 km's on this belt and it is sitting exactly flush with the top of the secondary.

 

[RIGIDONE]

the deepest part of the grooves that are on the top of the belt are visable.. if that makes any sense.. it was deff a noticable snap when pinned from a dead stop..

take video yam would be good sticky and your very own starring roll.

I finally got to the dealer and got myself a new circlip.

Here is the video for those that wanted to see how its done.

Had you removed yours using snapring pliers or did you just pry it off with a screwdriver or something?
thanks,

I know on the smaller ones you are to replace them each time never be reused (I always push mine in a bit to make it the original size). Most item that bend and hold stuff in place like snap rings are to be replaced each time.

anyone have a source - not OEM to get 10 packs or something? Easy, cheap, functional? I have no dealer within 50 miles (actually 200 for a sled dealer)
