Clutch noise repair.

[rx1mtn]

I have a 05 Vector with clutch noise. Its seems like I have read on here that there is a clutch repair kit from Yamaha that will correct this problem. Is that true? If there is, what is the part # ?

Has anyone heard if there is a remedy for the noisy clutches on the 08-09 vectors?????

Re: clutch

Hartman recommends replacing the entire primary clutch with a Polaris P-85. That is the best answer I found last year after calling multiple dealers.

I am really leaning towards getting one of these P-85 clutches from Hartman but I am worried about how hard it's going to be to tune it properly. I really don't want to have to start buying multiple helixes and springs to get it tuned correctly...Anyone else tried this setup before????

I would look for a nice, used P-85 if you want to give it a try. They can be found for a lot less $$ than the $600 or so Hartman wants for a P-85 (I think that is what he quoted me last year). The only modification necessary is a shim which you can get from Hartman for something like $10 I believe. I don't remember where the shim goes, if it is a spider shim or something different. If I find a nice used clutch this year I'll probably try it out. If it doesn't work out I am sure I can sell the clutch for basically what I paid for it (assuming I find one at a good price).

Ok, now that I have the parts, how do I do this repair? Is there a technical bulletin?

Unless u have a clutch spider tool and puller to dissassy clutch u will have to take to dealer

 

[rx1mtn]

Yes, I have a "Grunt" tool, just wondering where the "O" rings go. Plus I would have thought that there should have been 6 sliders.

Your dealer can put your vin# in the puter to see if the kit was done as a service bullitin repair. they were doing them for free...not sure if you had to get it done under warranty of not, but i don't think so.
the noise is only noticable at idle in your garage, so i quit runnin mine in da gradge and now I just run the snot out of it on the snow with no further noise or problems

I figured out how to do this repair. If I would have set the parts out and looked at all of the parts in the package, I would have figured it out. I did call my dealer, no go on warranty, but he did give me the directions. Clutch is done, noise gone.
Thanks

what did you do?

 

[rx1mtn]

Installed the slider kit in the primary clutch, it really did tighten up the "spider" and with the "O" ring dampner, the noise is gone.

 

[Darren71]

do you have a part number for this kit?and price?Im guessing it will fix the rattle in my 2009 rs venture gt also? I hate that noise...LOL!!!!
