atvaholic:

Make sure you fo;;ow the instructions to the letter, you need to leave the proper amount of play in the clutch assembly after you install there clutch plates (it takes 2 feeler gauges to get it right) and on the clutch over ride lever on the handle bar you will have tons of free play until you start the engine, you adjust the free play with the engine rumnning.

We have been using there clutch for over a year with great sucess.

Good luck and have fun,

Rick

It was a 2005 yfz 450 that left me an incomplete L-1 with two broken legs.

But damn it sure was fun! They are awesome atv's. I miss riding....

It was actually my friends quad. He sold it...the thing was cursed. Every time we went out for a week in the desert somebody took a trip to the ER because of it.

I had a YZ250f at the time but I sold it... If I started riding again my family would disown me lol.....
