Grizzly clutch noise

[huntergrizz]

Have a 2005 grizzly 660 with 1700 miles and the one-way bearing and clutch housing and clutch carrier assembly are worn. It was noisy at ilde and went away when clutch engaged. Does anyone know what makes these parts wear out with so few miles? I keep up the maintenance very well and change oil every 300 to 400 miles. Yamaha 10w30 year round. I have all the new parts to get it going again. Is there anything else I should check before putting it back together?

Sounds like it was funky from the start or it got full of dirt and water and was never serviced? Did you ever find the cause?.......Irv

Put all new parts in it,seems ok now. No noise. Still don't know what caused the parts to wear out so early. Have to put some miles on it and see if it's ok then.

I would guess from the vibration that single cylinder makes.
