07 800r clutch cover on or off

[Letitsnow800r]

I have a 07 800r. When I got it last year I pulled the plastic cover off the clutch cover to get rid of heat. Rode today in 2' fresh powder and when boondocking to the left, snow hits the clutch and game over, you stop. What are most people doing? Leaving the extra cover on or off. If off what are you doing to keep the snow off the clutches?

Cover the opening in front of the clutch with some screen or you can use the prefilter material.

I bought fiberglass window screening and put it over all the vents in the sled, works great! Its about 3 bucks for a 4' x 4' piece. I used silicone to fasten it to the inside panels that didn't have those clips that hold the factory metal screens in place. Just put the fiberglass screening over the existing metal ones, fasten the clips back down and it looks custom!.....Sherm
