New Clutch

[filo_bedo]

I know this as asked a million times but I can never seem to find the answer I am looking for. I am GOING to buy a new clutch this year for my 2001 SRX. The sled is basically stock and I do a mix of 50/50 trail and lake riding. Which complete clutch kit would you recommend?
I would prefer to purchase a complete unit as I am not a sled head yet, I am trying not to get into purchasing these specific weights with this helix and this spring etc. I would prefer if possible to purchase the complete unit as a kit. As of right now I am leaning towards a Bender clutch kit, good call or would you choose something else?
Thanks again for all your help!
Chris

if you want a out of box kit you better off calling tom hartman he will give you a set up that will work for you

All u need is 3 rivets (4.5 gram), 2 springs(www primary, green secondary), 1 Helix(51/43, or 53/43), and you're done. Put the rivets in the hole on bottom of your current stock weights. That's all u need man. And it all can be had from a dealer. Except the 53/43. Hauck or Dalton should work. Its all parts you'll be changing with a "Clutch Kit" so u might as well go with a proven setup.

Thanks for the info guys. Mybe I will try this particular set-up instead of a kit since Corey is right I guess, I do need to change the same components regardless if its a kit or not.

I only mentioned I preffered a kit because I did not want this thread to turn into a million different weight, spring and helix combinations which probably all work but I wouldn't know the difference between changing any one of those specific parts.

How do I get hold of this Tom Hartman?

call tom hartman simple job he can talk you through it wont take long simple hes a good guy

I have used bender kits when I had my srx and ended up putting my own combos together. The few of their kits I have seen did well on trail but not so well in other areas, dealt with excessive belt wear also. If u do get pieces there are plenty here willing to help out with figuring out fine tuning if u need it. As long as ur not afraid to turn the wrench there is alot of help here for the info. For the most part its a pretty good atmosphere here. Good luck

Hi Guys

Thanks for all the help.

I spoke with Tom and he was a great guy to deal with.

I am looking for some of these parts mentioned above and I have found the green spring, but not the WWW primary spring? Bender has colored primary springs, does WWW denote the White primary spring?

Does anybody recommend a vendor in which I can purchase all of these parts from?

Thanks again
Chris

WWW would mean a White-White-White primary spring. This would be refering to a Yamaha spring with the White-White-White markings on it. If you have a tall primary cover you want the one with the markings on the same coil, if it's a short primary cover you want the one with the markings on 3 seperate coils. The one attached picture is a W-W-W Yamaha tall primary cover spring. While the other is a Green-Pink-Green Yamaha short primary cover spring. (Notice the marking differences) If you look at your spring you'll be able to tell which you need. (Tall or short)

 

[filo_bedo]

Thanks SX.

One question though, if my SRX is completely stock, why would I need to check which spring I have. Which of the two springs is the stock 2001 SRX spring?

Thanks again
Chris

01 should be y-w-y

 

[filo_bedo]

Ok So I am going to purchase the following;

3 rivets 4.5 grams, I am still not sure where to purchase these. Dalton has weights on their site but none are at 4.5grams........

Or should I get a set of adjustable heel clickers which allows me to change weight ( I am not sure if that is a correct statement ) and tune the clutch as I go?

1 WWW Primary spring

1 Green Secondary spring

1 51/43 Helix

This is basically the set up on Turk clutch page as well so I am assuming it is a good starting point. I know you can only confirm by testing but the reality is I cant ride where I live so I only get about 10 weekends a year to ride which allows for very little time to wrench and monkey around.

Thanks to everyone who responded and helped out.

I just looked and you do have a Tall cover primary.

For 4.5 gram rivets, Yamaha sells them, it's a 17.2 mm steel. 90261-06033-00

A tall WWW spring is 90501-583L1-00

Green Secondary spring is 90508-556A2-00

51/43 helix is 8FA-17604-00

Those are all Yamaha part numbers listed above. Let us know how it turns out.

 

[filo_bedo]

Awesome SX, Thank you very much for all the P/N's, that was a nice surprise. Hopefully this set-up will work out well.

 

[mrviper700]

everything is good except I wouldnt use the stock yamaha helix, its really only about a 48/42 and its going to over rev on top and slow down the top speed, I would use a aftermarket helix a 50/44 or 51/45, just my opinion.

 

[kking32]

stock rx 1 helix

wondering if a stock rx1 helix would work with this set up? isn't it a 51/43? should be real easy to find one, lots of people added clutch kits and have these laying around.

 

[Corey9965]

That's the one Mr Viper is talking about I believe.

My question is, what info did Tom Hartman give you. Did he give you the same set up as Corey? He sells all this stuff.
