Hi All
I would really appreciate any insight and assistance any one can give. I have a '07 Attak and thinking of clutching. I will NOT be studded. I see the clutch kits available all recommend studding. I really do not want to go that route. I would prefer a good set-up that has about a 4000 engagement, no more. Useless to go any higher without studs. Although I have only 331 kms at this time, the few shots I gave it showed 10,700/10,800. Should I be buying a put together kit or should I be going after individual components? Thank you in advance for any thoughts on this matter, as I am sure evrybody on here has more experience on DA YAMMIE than me. I have come to yammie from the T-Cat, so I am used to the weight, but just a little lacking in HP. I would love to be able to give my T-Cat a spanking. Again, thanks.

Stock clutching is very tuff to beat on hard`pack snow.Peak hp is at 10,700ish & your running there now. Clutching won,t change where peak hp is at. If your allready there what,s to gain?

That is funny.
I was about to post Turks opinion for Catchme and there it is, live from da man himself.
Catchme, This Turk fella is pretty much the clutching guru for Yammies.
I have been following his advice on my ricers since the nineties.
Yammies used to be terrible for stock clutching but the Apex and Attak are pretty much spot on when the motor gets broken in.
If you do not want studs, listen to Turk.
You are good to go.
Nice for a change ,eh?

Thanks guys. Will be another week and a half before I ride again, but then I will be off for 12 weeks, so should get some miles on.
Last year I blew up my Tcat, and a yamaha dealer brought me an Attak to ride the next day. He had some clutch components from Dalton's in and I must say that thing rocked. Some trail races were held, 06 MackZ, various Firecat700 in different state of mods, and I must say the Attak held its own and made a real impression on me.
I was sold, and that same dealer got my business.
Now I have to change my suit from green to blue. Already my buddies are trying to get my green license plate. Thanks for the welcome and all info.

You may be dead set against studding it but I would tell you to re-think that. I pulled all of my studs out last weekend to replace them and decided to put some miles on unstudded. After 200 miles with no studs, I cannot express enough what a difference this sled is studded vs not. It felt horrible with no studs!!! Literally, horrible. It didn't handle as well, darted like crazy, and the worst part was it just flat out did not perform. It just revs and spins the track and doesn't go anywhere. You will gain a lot more by spending the money on some studs with stock clutching than with a clutch kit and no studs. Did I mention that it was horrible! Day and night difference.
You need to stud it!!!
put 162 down the middle, i did and sleds pulls like an f-18 i have the ulmer kit also

Thanks guys
Guess the concensus is "stud the beast".
I just hate getting run over by my own studs, Dont ask!!
Now what do y'all recommend for studs, amount and type.

if you have snow like we usually have in Timmins ontario i wouldn't stud it. why add studs if you have good snow base.

power valve makes a point, if you dont have hardpacked trails or ice, studs arent as valuable. Never had the joy of riding in Nova Scotia so I dont know.
But a clutch kit in most cases will give you a stronger launch and bottom end, perhaps not so much on top. If you dont have great traction a harder launch could hurt more than help.

You can get a harder launch with the stock clutching by
Adding shims to raise engagement
Going to a primary spring with more preload. that will do the same thing
Lighten inner rivet to raise low end rpms & combine it with any of the above mods.
You can tune the stock stuff to do anything u want it to do!
