Yamaha Grizzly 700 Clutch Weight Modification:

This information has been gathered to help others with their Grizzly 700 clutch weight modifications. It is for reference only and gathers information from a number of sources.

Dalton Industries currently sells a kit for $100 on their website, http://www.daltonindustries.com/atv/YamahaClutchKit.htm . It includes 12 clutch weights, (8 ) 14.7grams and (4 ) 17grams. The clutch uses (8 ) weights total.
As a reference, the stock 700 weights are approximately 18.5 grams each. Stock 660 weights are 17g and stock Kodiak 450 weights are 14g. These weights can be found at your dealer for approximately $3-4 each.
Dalton recommends the following weight changes according to application:

Stock tire size but heavier: (4) 14.7g weights and (4) 18.5g weights (132.8g)
26-27” tire (0-4000’ elevation): (4) 14.7g weights and (4) 17g weights (126.8g)
28” tire: (8 ) 14.7g weights (117.6g)

It also recommends the 28” setup for 26-27” tires at high elevations.

Which setup are you running GW?

I'm wondering if I should try this...it's just that tearing apart a clutch scares me!
Where was the difference found? Low mid high?

I am running the 4-450 weights and the 4 660 weights. I noticed a nice response from 5 MPH and up.

I also am running 4-450 and 4-660 weights. I also found that it added back what was lost by putting 26" XTRs on. The weight change is really an easy project and it's not something that you should be scared of. Once you get in there, you'll see why. I was nervous initially myself but after I opened it up saw there was nothing intricate about it.

It's really only that one nut to take the primary off that makes me nervous. then not torqing it down correctly either.

 

[1Bad1000Xxc]

Well for me the most difficult part was getting that nut started back on since you have the belt applying outward pressure against you. Then I also didn't have a good diea of how to hold the clutch from turning so I could tighten the nut properly. Afterwards, someone gave the idea to use a ratchet strap around the clutch in some configuration but I don't recall exactly. At the time, it sounded like asound idea.

Well just to throw a rusted bolt at the wrench family here, I just placed some very heavy tires on my 660 and didn't notice that much difference in power loss?? Am I the exception or the idiot? It does everything it did before?

I will admit that I still want to try some 450 weights though.

 

[Koko]

I dunno...I guess it's all subjective. But when I threw 26" Outlaw MST's on my grizz 660, I couldn't stand the power loss and sold them to buy a set of 25" aftermarket tires. I notice a loss going from the stockers to the 25" bighorn on my 700.

what clutch weight setup do you think would benefit the grizz 660? I am running the 26" xtrs' I have seen many on here running 4 660 weights and 4 kodiac weights.. On the 700's Is this the best set for these tries? Does anyone one know what weights come with the FIX Hole Shot kit for the 660? would you recommend that kit versus the dalton Kit, (that kit also comes with the secondary clutch spring?) they must be less weight than the stock but more than the kodiak.
Seems like if all I need is kodiak weights I can just buy 4 kodiak weights and save a ton of Dough, especially since the FIX kit in 119.00 and Dalton about the same... thanks.. I still need to figure out the best way to hold the sheave, I do not have a impact gun and I want to be able to torque it down correctly.. So I would be using my big torque wrench breaker bar. thanks everyone!
