Hey guys I was just wondering if the pins that are holding the weights are supposed to be able to slide side to side in the primary clutch?

I think yes. Should be a little movement. Its been a while since I last serviced my clutch.

for some reason only the weights have set screws to lock the pins
the roller pins don't...but there is previsions in the casting that show's
there can be set screw's installed(drill/tap)...

THE PINS SHOULD SLIDE VERY EASY IN AND OUT OF WEIGHTS. YOU THAN SHOULD BEABLE TO SLIDE THEM SIDE TO SIDE. THAN YOU SHOULD SLIGHTLY TIGHT,EN SMALL SET SCREWS THAT WILL HOLD EVERYTHING IN PLACE. SO I WOULD HAVE EVERYTHING FREE, THAN SET SMALL SCREWS. THIS WILL MAKE TAKING THESE OUT VERY SIMPLE. 3:16 (yammie tony)

Hmmmm
So thats what that noise is, I knew it... My 02' 700MM rattles at idle too, always has. None my other sleds do this. My buddys 00' 700MM does not. I have taken mine to the dealer for this and the head mechanic had no idea what the noise was. He also didn't seem to concerned about it.
I will be pulling the clutch this off season. I definately would like to eliminate this if I can, It has always anoid me. Thoughts appreciated, Soc
