How to add weight to wet clutch

http://www.rhinoforums.net/how/65027-add-weight-wet-clutch.html

This is a post I wrote awhile back on RF, This is a sure fire way to get alot more bottom end, and reduce power loss thru the entire RPM band.

thanks mike!!

good info man

yes and works really well..

thanks mike.

great info cant wait to get my new wet clutch an add weight

James,you get yours done yet??

I may have to give this a try!

Thanks, I am thinking about doing this too.

you wont regret it.. makes a great addition to the clutch system..

I might add some weight to mine also..but im gonna have to wait and see what james has to say about it!!..trial and error!!!

can we get an extension on the 15 days?lol

Any videos on getting to the clutch, about to tear into sheaves? Also any gaskets or anything that can't be reused, I don't want to tear into Rhino and be waiting on something simple.

Nice job on the pics. Seems really simple to do, other than getting clutch out. Looks like you used an old wheel weight in the pic. What a cheap upgrade.

You will need a gasket for the drum housing, and you will need to drain your oil. So 3 qts of oil and filter. And any kind of lead will work, rim leads, fishing leads. they are very cheap. If you need more info on how to do it feel free to call me at 850 259-1166, Mike.

from the looks of that video,they work very good!!

Ok Mike , I've been reading about this for a while now...so I have a couple of questions. How long have you ran yours "slugged" ; and , is there any long-term downside to doing this ?? I replaced my w.c. prob 6 months ago...I don't want to do any type of mod that would cause me to havta drop another $400 .

I slugged my first clutch in 06 and the wet clutch lasted over 2 years and that's when i was mud racing it. I replaced the wet clutch when i went with the stroker crank in 09 and it looked like normal wear, No burn marks or scoring of the drum. I replaced it agian 5 months ago and the drum is still original with no deep marks and normal wear on the clutch. So in conclusion I have not seen anything negative because of adding weight. But it does last longer because it doesnt slip as much as stock. And the same goes for all the customer bike's Ive done. IT is all good in my experiance.

we need a "how to slug your clutch for dummies" thread...
