Is there any differences in the spiders between the ones used on a SRX vs one from a 4 stroke? I picked up an Apex primary to swap my internals into for my '01 SRX and I noticed some rust pitting on the shafts,not terrible but enough that it'll likely chew the bushing up if left.I'm going to try and polish it all out,but if it still isn't good enough to suit me, I have a couple of spare spiders for the SRX clutch that I can swap one in,provided they'll fit.But before I go to all the trouble to split the clutch apart,I'd like to know if they're compatible first.
i don't know for sure. other than the windows in the spider for the 4 stroke weights (they do need them) i think they are the same.
Ah yeah. Now that I see the Apex clutch in front of me, it's easy to see the windows, and the 2 smoke ones don't have that.If the windows need to be there for a 4 stroke, then I'd say you could use a 4 stroke one in a 2 but not the other way round. Thanks for that info.
np lol. i have done it both ways and the 4 stroke that we put the clutch on without the windows, we kept lightening the weights but would get no more rpm as it would bottom the weights out on the spider a good ways short of peak rpm.
Something that occurred to me after reading your reply. Will the 4 stroke spider have any affect on the way the weight act on a 2 stroke? I figured on just running the Apex clutch on my 700 SRX with the guts installed from the old SRX primary. I could swap in the SRX spider if need be.
4 stroke on a 2 stroke has no issues. it will run the weights without issues. have one on my dad's 2005 sx venture atm that i modded to take the ring gear for the e start. 2nd 4 stroke clutch on it. i think yamaha discontinued the spider without the holes once they used up inventory as the 11 vk in my signature has the same primary clutch as my apex does.
