I’m 39 and just got my first sled 14’ cat xf7000 sno pro with factory installed turbo and 1670 miles, not sure if I’m in over my head being a beginner but I like a challenge so far so good with no problems,, clutching was done to it before I got the sled, when it warms up I’ll learn to work under the hood
Thanks for posting these couple vids about this clutch ....actually just ordered one myself after watching your other video about it..I appreciate the feedback bro
I installed it on my 2011 HCR 800 and I honestly can't believe more people don't use them. I will never go back to a cat clutch again. 2000 miles on mine and never opened it up.
We have a 2012 AC M8000 snow pro limited. We have seen a couple that say they are for the new 8000. My question is “What is the difference and will the new ones fit the 2012?
Great video, I have a cv tech clutch in my zr600 it hasn’t been hitting the rpm I was liking, this will definitely help me this season to get more out of it.
I have a zr 600 as well and I will be installing a new cv tech clutch on it too. How do you like it? I’ve had two Arctic cat clutches fail as well, done with that junk!
@@darreng3734 so far it’s been excellent, almost 2 seasons on it, smooth, quiet and trouble free. I put 1 on my 998 turbo last season and it’s been impressive also far
Hell yea, love your videos ride vlog to shop talk y’all running a nice channel. Hope to be picking this clutch up by the end of an already shit snow season. Keep it up.
You should check the runout on that crank . That is a huge power killer. Anything over 5 thou really will take a toll. This has been an issue with Arctic cat sleds for years.. Even on new sleds but if you have blown a belt etc it can sometimes take a bad hit. I have all my cranks balanced and welded.
I just bought a '14 m8000 and I try to understand what you mean. The crank may have too much radial play from the end where the clutch is? Is it a common problem? And what do you weld exactly...you oversize the crank and fit thinner bearings? I'm new to this wonderfull sport. Thank you
@@syxxes I'm not intending to do it myself :-P I'm trying to figure out the weakness and to understand what how sandych33ks1 fixed it/if it can be fixed for good. If you rebuild the crank to oem specs, is will still fail :-( I thought those suzuki engines were almost bulletproof (for a 2 stroke perspective) Thank you for your input Syxxes.
@@syxxes If you do some research you might be surprised how many do it. It makes a big difference. Those Cat cranks get taken out easy sometimes with a badly blow belt. I had a new factory sled F1000 out of the box out 11 though. It was a pig. I could of warrantied it but I had it balanced n welded. It was night n day. The Ac f7 in the day were the same . The crank run out being over 5 thou draws big power loss. I had a customer on the dyno with a f7 out 20 thou and it wouldn't make 118 hp .Cat warrantied his crank. .
Thanks for this video! My dealer only has uncalibrated clutches in stock. The weights i can see in this vid but anyone know which spring would be suitable for -12 m800 ?
So what is the size of the nut on the clutch? Currently trying to take mine off but no idea on the size of the big brass nut and you didn’t say in the video.
I have a question about my skidoo it's 2001 mxz 800 121 factory with a 144 summit skid, gears, chain, and a 2 1/4 inch lung on the track and it has a "good" 2002 mxz 800 primary clutch on it ( sorry for being so long and the info my be important) I live about 900 m from sea leve and the engine starting rpm is 3000-3400 Rpm and the clutch engagement is around 3500-4000 rpm now the rpm do lower after ideling for a bit ( warm idle about 1400-2000 rpm )but the main issue is it only revs to about 7500-7800 rpm I heard it's supposed to go to 8250 rpm how can I fix it i think it may be the wrong belt
@@blopdolf7365 the clutch that's on the skidoo I was told is a good clutch by my dad the owner of the 2002 mxz it can off of and he insistes it's good but I've tried to get the belt off a little while ago but I couldn't get it off I ever try to use a screwdriver to get off and nothing that's what I think it is but it also have a bad exhaust leak on both cyclnders were the y pipe attaches. And thank you for the tip I'll see if I can someone who know more in my local area to look at it
Oh this things has had all sorts of stuff done to it. Infact there's a whole playlist! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OlkUG90m9bo.html
@@syxxes I don’t think that’s the issue it was working fine up till I swapped clutches sled doesn’t have many miles like 1500 wondering if it’s because the balancing ring didn’t get put off the old clutc
Only real con to the pb80 is a slight lack of tuning ability (or at least some complain about that... Even though they seem to work great anyways). Also, they seem to run a little warmer because they're so enclosed and smooth... Less air flow. Great clutches though. 7500 miles on my doo 1200 pb80
