HOW DO I MAINTAIN MY CLUTCHES? HOW LONG BETWEEN MAINTENANCE INTERVALS?

The clutches should be disassembled and serviced at the intervals below. You can do this yourself if you have our tool kit or if you'd like you can remove the clutches and send them into us for servicing and repair and we will do it for you.

 
There's a free copy of the clutch shop manual available for download HERE
 
After every weekend or long ride (no special tools required):
 
-Use compressed air to blow out any dirt, dust or contaminants.
 
-Visually inspect primary and secondary clutch for any obvious damage to any components, sheave faces, etc.
 
-Visually inspect the Belt for any clunking, fraying or abnormal wear, replace if required.
 
-Visually inspect secondary clutch for broken helix rollers.
 
At approx 500 miles or after the ride/race if longer: (KWI tool kit and 500 mile service kit required). There's a video on our website under the videos section to help with this.
 
-Remove the KWI full floating secondary clutch, clean and re-grease the splines per the Float instructions then reinstall.
 
-Remove the primary clutch governor cup with the KWI puller, (no need to pull the fixed sheave off the crankshaft) replace the 3 floating slider shoes, inspect the slider shoe bore for excessive wear (send clutches into KWI for repair if the bores are excessively worn) and replace the 3 floating slider shoe o-rings during reassembly
 
-Slide off the Primary outer half, inspect thrust rollers for excessive wear or damage, replace if damaged.
 
-Remove the primary bearing, clean, re-grease with a light amount of Kluber Isoflex NB52. wipe seals so they are free of grease and dry before reinstalling.
 
-Clean primary bearing thrust washers so they are completely free of grease and dry. Replace if worn.
