CLUTCHES
DRIVEN CLUTCH
Drive and driven clutches changed late-2011 model year to use different internal springs. In addition, a driven clutch
redesign included a revised fixed sheave, moveable sheave and cam that eliminated the large washer. New part
numbers were assigned. The previous drive clutch and driven clutch will remain available for replacement as whole
units. Replacement parts will also remain available for the previous drive clutch and driven clutch. The new drive and
driven clutches are backward compatible only if installed as a set.
See following CAUTIONS.
CAUTION
• To avoid undesirable performance, always install the drive clutch and driven clutch as a matching pair.
Never mix the new drive clutch with the old driven clutch and vice versa.
• Be very careful with the clutches. A clutch that has been dropped will not be properly balanced. If
either clutch is dropped, assume that it is damaged and replace it.
