:shock: I was taking the clutch apart yesterday , and I have no weights? In the arms, WTH ??? , I know that you have to have some weight in the tip for top end, and some on the bottom but no rivets at all? I have the black spring 0-s-o color, both are 04s and bone stock clutch wise, Is this normal? did the dealer do something wrong ? :ORC HHHELLPPPP, I am soo confused? 
, Should I tell the dealer? the sleds seem to run good and back shift out good, I HAVE NOT, opened them up all the way they only had 283, 286 mi on them took them to 9800 rpm, or so. Thanks for the info and help!!!!!!!

You're fine don't worry. As the elevation gets higher you want your clutch weights lighter. This is achieved by removing (or in your case, not installing) any rivets in the clutch weights.
I see you are from Utah. I would guess you ride some pretty high elevations (over 8,000 feet) and I'd guess the set up you have is what Yamaha suggests. Or if it's not it's what the dealer has found to work best for your riding area.
Clutching is kind of like cooking in a way. There are many ways to achieve pretty much the same thing by going about things in different ways. The "Recipe" your dealer has found to work best may not be what the dealer across town likes. Hence all the talk on clutching. A guy finds something he likes and can't understand why his buddy uses a completely different set up. That's what makes it fun :lol: PB

Clutching for the mountains
I ground my weights down to 59 grams before I was happy with the performance at altitude. Riding at 8000 ft. it would pull a long hill at about 10300 rpm. That was before the turbo was put on. Ken
