Clutch Help – Clutch Guru’s please read and advise

Hey guys. So looking for a little advice here. Sorry for the long winded write up but this is driving me crazy.

Also any grizzly experts near Madison WI Ill bring Beer! haha.

So the history.

OLD ATV 2009 GRIZZLY 700 CAMO – This atv was AWESOME!!!
Mods
uni air filter
clutch:
1.5 mm shim
4 14g weights with 4 stock (20 g) wieghts. average out at 17 gram
28" zilla tires.
Thats all I had on this ATV and this thing would stand straight up and run like crazy. Sold it because rode very hard and wanted to get something newer/ less miles and not beat.

I ride HARD and in lots of mud and this was my base for my new one. But I wanted at least the same performance or more.

NEW ATV 2013 GRIZZLY 700 bought stock with 155 miles on it when I got it. Now has 350 miles on it.
I got to clutching right away as it seemed very slow out the gate.
Clutch to date:
Coop45 mod on primary shieve
18 gram wieghts from a 660 – all 8
purple secondary spring.
27 inch zilla tires with aftermarket rims.

My Issues. This thing still runs so so so slow. Barely will lift the tires off the ground. I even put the stock tires back on it and same issue. It seems like it just does not have the snap and torque that the last one had. Thought I may have just been remembering something wrong, so i rode my bosses stock 07 grizzly and that thing has more snap to it stock which does not make me happy. the 07 will lift the tires with hardly a problem.

There is a slight whirring or whining noise that seems to be present when coming to a stop below 5 mph, One way bearing? But that shouldnt effect having enough power and engine braking works great with no clunking or other strange noise?

I feel like I have to be missing something. I have taken the clutch apart 4 times now making sure it is together correctly. Proper torque and everything going back together.

My next move is to get 8 16 gram weights to try to make it better as it seems to bog a little too low. I know adding the stiffer secondary spring is supposed to act similar to adding lighter wieghts in the primary, but I don’t know how true that is.
Maybe a new belt, but 300 miles on a belt is nothing.
I dont want to stick more and more time and money into something that is getting me no where. I know its hard to explain on typing the exact nature of the problems, but other than the clutch mods it is in perfect condition and stock.

What else can I look at here that may be an issue. It almost runs like the brake is on or something (which its not).
Did they dumb these things down so far from a 09 to a 13 or make some stupid changes?
I love my grizzly’s but this is frustrating.

Thank you to all who read this long winded explanation!

4 Mega Mayhem Tires 27-11-12 $400 OBO

hey guys,
Mega Mayhem
27-11-12 all 4 tires are the same.
$400 0B0
Located in Wisconsin.
Text me or PM me 608 Three Three 4 1237

Selling my Mega Mayhem tires. They are a little to aggressive for my riding. They came with the ATV. The ATV only has 350 miles on it, so that is the most the tires can have. The previous guy bought them new.

Not sure what they are worth but start at $400. i think they are about 125 each online. so Save 100 bucks

Not sure what shipping will cost so we can work something out depending on where you are located. I will cover shipping within reason. I live in Wisconsin.

My experiences with Grizzly 700 clutch mods

Hey everyone. i just thought I would post this as I am seeing lots of questions about clutch mods lately, including my own questions.

So i just finished doing my clutch mods. Very happy with the result after lots of research and time.

History of my experience.

Old Grizzly – 2009 Grizzly 700
– 1.5 mm shim
– 4 450 weights.
– 28" zillas
– $50 bucks

Mods, 1.5 mm shim and 4-450 weights every other weight.
Very snappy response. I was thrilled when I first did this. It worked great and cost only about $50 bucks. I did loose about 6 mph top end. I had 28" zillas and the grizzly was very responsive. In High I had all the power I wanted. Would recommend for those on a budget.

New Grizzly 2013 Grizzly 700.
– Coop Mod #3
– Purple spring.
– 18 g weights from 660
– 27 Mega Mahems (they came with atv so didnt get to chose my tires. I would go with Zilla’s again in a heartbeat.)-
– $210 bucks

I sent my outer Shiev to COOp to get his Mod 3 done. When I got it back I was disappointed at first. I put a purple spring in and had just the coop mod. Turns out I put it together not quite right. More about that below.
When I got it in correctly had more low end power, but not enough to counter the tires. After adding the 18 g weights it was much better. Similar to the mods of my 09 grizzly but power is much more stable and shifting smoother. Will pick front end up. I could always use more power and snap, but it will do for now. I wish I could buy more different weights and play with it even more, but dont want to spend more at this point.
If you have larger tires, go with 18g weights, you will not regret it. It is still sluggish with just the Coop #3 mod.

I also have the same top end which is nice for the days when I trail ride. $$210 invested + time.

Grizzly clutch notes.
As many people pointed out, no Impact Guns. I used one to loosen and probably should not have.
DONOT USE a ratchet strap. Make a vice for the primary/secondary out of wood and threaded rod. Works much better.
USE A TORQUE WRENCH.
Watch videos on assembly and re-greasing.

Im sure I am forgetting something but hopefully it will help some people decide what to do.

Grizzly 700 clutch work now is slower

Hey guys
I recently sent my primary to coop and had it machined. I added the purple spring. I did this over a 1.5 mm shim and 4 Kodak weights. I just put it back together today and went out riding and am very disappointed in the bottom end. It seems like the ATV lost power from what it was before. On my last 700 I did the shim and weights and it had a lot more power than it does now.
Could I have done something wrong putting the clutch back together. What could cause this? Going through mod and not even that much the grizzly does not want to push like it should and In pavement the front tires do not even start to come off the ground. Something is wrong I just do not know what.
Thanks
Joe

Grizz 700 Stuck Valve-rings? Smoking

Hey guys,
I have a line on a 07 grizzly 700 for a pretty good price. Owner says it may have a stuck valve or need new rings. He says it smokes a little while driving. Only 2100 miles on it. in great shape. Thought I would be a good one to fix. I am not sure how much this is going to cost to fix or be a problem. I am handy but have not done a valve/ring job before. He was told that it may have a "sticky valve and/or may need rings" Going to look at it today.

i would probably pull the engine If i need to and bring it to someone to repair/rebuild.

Any advice on this subject.

Thanks
Joe
