| Either the Dalton or EPI for the spring. If the newer cats still use the Suzuki clutch set up, you can drill down the rollers yourself. The "coop45" mod is very easy to do and will give you a little more low end at take off.
What size tires did you go with? |

| I still have 25's on the machine but these are heavier tires. The main reason I was looking into a clutch mod is that fact I just got my machine out of the shop last week. I did not have any power taking off and my top speed was slow. This was with the stock also. I took to Ac dealer in Dalton and they had to replace all the face drive plates. They told me that there we ridges on the plates and this was the problem. They ask if I had been towing anything and I have never towed any thing. They suggested using low gear more. I need more take off power in high and not have to worry about going to low everytime I come to a hill. I will use low gear when the time is needed. I have a warranty and everything was covered.
Thanks for the links! |

| I almost never use low on mine and I have never had a problem with power.
Put a Copperhead CDI on if you want plenty of power. _________________ 2010 Ranger XP 800 PP Windshield F&B, Venom 5k, Kobalt Box, Backwoods Armor 2" Lift/Arched Forward A-Arms, ProArmor Doors, DJ Fab Heat Shield, KFI Front Hitch, UTV Tech Mud Guard & Grill Insert, Crow 4-point Harness, Hi Lift Jack, Pit Bull Rockers, SS108's, Garmin 76csx, IPOD 80GB w/Otter Box, ATV Trail Tunes Sounds, Dual Polaris Battery Setup, RELM 45w 2-way Radio, PWM Built Spare Tire/Gas Carrier, Diamond Back Top & Floor Mats, HID's, FlexSteel SeatsPWM's Pix   |

| I want to give my Grizzly a little more low-end grunt. I have put these mods on my to-do list.
I am wondering if J. Costa or Malossi make something for the Grizzly or other 4Wheelers. I did a J. Costa swap on a Burgman 400 for my friend Bill...similar desired results. |

| its pretty strange that you got groves/ridges in there , did you ever get it real wet and gun it . I meen get water into the CVT housing . I suppose that could grove/ or cause ridges to form pretty quickly. Its odd for sure Ben . How many miles does it have again ? |

| The grooves or "ridges" can be caused by the belt slipping in one particular area, it's usally caused by running for extended periods slow speed when in high gear or belt slipping due to dirty and or wet belt. Air- damn clutch mod involves milling the clutch plates and will fix that also ( damaged plates). The "coop45" clutch mod with compensate for the tires, if you want to have even more low end go with a clutch kit and/or the air damn clutch mods.

| I was told by a reliable source that if you are traveling under 15mph you should use low gear. If you are not then you are dogging the belt and could cause heat build up which would lead to premature belt failure.
For my taste when I am trail riding in the mountains and it looks like it is gonna be a slow go hill climb, rough terrain, rocks, etc....I shift to low gear. Also when in the Deep Mud low gear is recommended.
Now if you are flat out level running then high gear would be okay. |

| I believe the wet belt was the cause and going slow in high on some of the group rides I have been on in the past. Once I think back to some of my rides it makes since.
Thanks for all the input! |
