Clutch question

rmk2112 · Jun 8, 2010

Will a P85 clutch off a 03 RMK 800 fit on my 06 RMK 700?

I need to replace mine ( 2 nice little cracks on the face

)and am trying to find a good used one.

It will fit and it should have the large bearng cover... on an 800.

The big question is, how many miles on it?

Also, you MUST re shim the primary to run the belt you are using if different from the 3211080 belt used in the 800's... I really dont recommend using the

Cracked clutches are usually an idication of overheating clutches...

Do you still have the stock clutching in the sled?.... If so, it is pretty poor from the factory... a simple clutching change and gearing will give you much better performance.

Was the 700 a belt eater or could you go 1000 miles on the same belt?

The manual says the 06 700 RMK has a P-85 clutch. Might have different springs.

i run the 1115 Poo belt. The clutch is original to my sled.....so about 3200 miles on it. It used to ne a belt eater. I replaced all the motor mounts and had the clutch completely rebuilt before last season......i probably have around 700 miles on this belt, so all is good there.
So.........from what I'm reading, a new clutch...with some small tweaks, will improve performance?

If your clutch is original to your sled...unless you've had it done... it is not setup properly to run the 3211115 belt which is a differnt width from the original 3211080 belt that came with your 700 or the 800 clutch you want to put on it.

A high mileage clutch (over 3000 miles) is not worth it to put into your sled... Get a new one or a fully blueprinted/balanced used one.

The Primary clutch is the most essential link between your engine and track, IMO. ... make sure it is spot on before investing any money into other upgrades.

What is your current primary wieghts, primary spring, secondary spring, secondary helix and top/bottom gearing... track length and and riding elevation?

I had the clutch totally rebuilt and balanced by my dealer before riding last fall, so it's set up to run the 1115 belt. That being said, I have no faith in that dealer due to some issues after the fact. It ran great all year, but like the old saying goes..."you dont know what you dont know" , I could be getting alot better performance and not know it.
I am a noob when it comes to all the particulars of the clutch. I ride a 06 700 159 at 3000' to 6500' elevations.
Its looking like I'm better off to get a new clutch than to buy someone else's problems. Just didnt want to drop $400 more into the sled when I had alot of other things that needed to be done. Was hoping a good used one would be good, but I see your point on how important it is.

Also 900 clutch has particular parts specific to it only, careful on reusing or swapping parts between them.
