07 RMK 600 clutchin alignment questions

[yukonrider]

So I've read the threads, and still have some questions. I got the SLP tool today, ended up having to shim my clutch out right about 3.5MM's to get the front of the driven to touch the tool. Sweet.

Now there is a gap at the back, about, relatively sizable, maybe 1.5mms? I forgot right now..

I haven't check the tool to see if it is straight yet, so I am taking that with a grain of salt.

Anyways, with the track off the ground, even with the clutches aligned, it will still spin, slowly at first but when the belt heats up a little it will spin faster.
Also, the shaft in the primary will be warm to the touch after a while.

Is this normal? I'm new to all of this, and just want to get it right.

Also how do you measure center to center on these? is it a straight pull from bolt head to bolt head or do you need to measure at a L style angle.

If the C to C is wrong how would one fix that?

Thanks in advance for the help!

There is supposed to be a little offset like you are seeing... the motor torques around a bit when you get on the throttle so it straightens out.

Remember you are supposed to have a little bit of free play in the driven on the shaft... a washer's worth under the bolt head so the clutch can float back and forth.

Center to center is measured center of shaft to center of shaft. So center of bolt to center of bolt.

Your track spins slightly because you have the belt good and tight. The way you describe it is how I like to set mine. You can decrease it by opening up the secondary clutch a little bit... there is an adjuster screw on the outside of it with a jam nut on it. If it bugs you adjust it a little bit but if it starts easy and doesn't squeal when sitting on the ground I would leave it.

ENGINE TWIST & CENTER to CENTER

ENGINE "TWIST"

1.5mm/25.4 mm per inch = .060"

That .060" of "air gap at the rear of the secondary is O.K. according to POLARIS specs.


CENTER to CENTER

To measure C/C (11.5" is spec)

With BOTH clutches removed, BUTT the tape measure to the jack-shaft and look for 11" at the center of the crank-shaft.

11.5" minus 1/2" (jack-shaft=1" diameter) = 11.00 "

Or fabricate a tool out of scrap aluminum, approx 1/8" thick like the one in the attached pic

If the C/C is off, HOPEFULLY it's close enough, you'll have to remove the engine and slot the engine brackets (pic attached, stock holes are round, NOT elongated)

Hope this helps
