DOES IT RIP? - KRX Clutch Kit Install and Review

[@Yan7001978]

Kawie are you reading? KRX TURBO bulletproof from the showroom. There's not alot to do to be on top of the game! The power curve can be tune and bring midrange snappy, top speed 75 would be good ! Get to work!

[@FASTSRT5047]

Absolutely love mine ! Support and quality are 2nd to none

[@rightcoastoffroad]

Thanks brian!

[@DerangedOffRoad]

The stock weights on the KRX don’t have adjustable screws. That why I needed to install the new custom weights that do. You can add weights to all four or just two depending on what you want. The weight itself might be good enough as well because it has a different profile and weight to it. -Garrett

[@DUNEATV]

Even though I don’t have a CVT I can remember tuning my Rhino 660 clutching years ago and it does make a huge difference!

[@DerangedOffRoad]

For sure! I don’t know much about all of this but I’m learning a lot. -Garrett

@@DerangedOffRoad Better than engine mods in my opinion...👍

[@greggneedham7658]

Dang. I watched right coasts video a couple of weeks ago and was curious what the kit did for low end. Thanks. I’ll wait to get it off of your guys channel.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

It’s up for pre ordering now! 👍

[@robgoffroad]

I just put this kit in a few days ago and rode yesterday... fantastic! I have the two-1g-weight setup too. My reflashed ECU is due here this week, though, so I'll be popping in the other two 1g's per RCOR's recommendation. Headed for Sand Hollow middle of next week, staying til after Thanksgiving. Woo!

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Do you seem to notice the biggest difference between 10 mph and 30?

[@robgoffroad]

@@DerangedOffRoad Yeah I'd say that's about right. It cured about 1/3 to 1/2 of the slow-off-the-line backshift issue that I hate, but I mainly noticed that it's now super fun to "point and shoot" when on fun, twisty trails. When you back off the throttle to enter the turn, and roll back on it, it spins up MUCH faster. I can actually steer with the throttle now (in 4WD!). Super fun.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

That’s exactly what I thought as well. Glad you you like it. I have a tune coming this week for mine to. 👍 -Garrett

[@dkheaton]

Thanks for another great video. I have about 400 miles on my KRX and am still getting used to it. I think the clutch work will be something I will do in the future. My main fix is going to try to figure out how to seal the cab from all the dust coming in. That is horrible. Keep the videos coming.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I’m working on that as well 👍

[@peterkueffner747]

Nice! I got mine installed yesterday, even with my HF snap ring pliers. lol I agree, feels more lively at the bottom end. Having adjustable weights is a must when making tire size changes. For me, doing clutch mods is much more effective and reliable than motor mods.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Totally agree! -Garrett

[@jasonbarker6831]

Thanks for this video! Been looking forward to a clutch improvement!

[@DerangedOffRoad]

11 seconds to 60! wanted a krx soo bad, just couldn't pass up turbo power. Glad I went x3 now, I can get to 60 and back to zero in about 11 seconds. will be trading it for a krx when they get some power tho

It looks like 2 one gram weights was the best 0-40 which is probably most used speeds anyways. Good testing. Thanks.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yes that’s correct, but I wanted to show how you can really change things. I’ll probably go back to that, but not sure yet. I need some more trail time everywhere to see. With no weights it really did well out at Sand Hollow yesterday. 👍-Garrett

[@TheIrongutz]

If the top of your weights are wearing than the rollers are worn but always check the side to side play of the weights on your pins because bushings are first to go. Good video

[@lil2.74]

According to the runs (grade percentage) you posted you were running uphill stock and downhill with the aftermarket weights. Even if not extreme that's a big deal.

[@romanback]

add this in with a tune from vforce and a graves exhaust and it would probably make the KRX the machine we all wanted. ive had mine since may and its been nothing but a pleasure in the eastern kentucky mountains. how does the clutch weights help in actual trail riding? i know the acceleration is what was tested here but how does the butt dyno feel while doing technical riding?

[@paulreid3273]

Nice job and posting data you collected. Buy any chance since the "No added grams to the weights gave the best time, did you weigh the stock weight of one versus one of the new weights? curious if that also plays into the improvement.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

You know I didn’t do that. That probably would have been good to see. -Garrett

[@vincefallon3861]

You had a quick mention in the vid about your throttle cable needing adjusting. When you did that it got your top speed back up then? Mine new did 68, and now with 600 miles, it does 65mph. I just figured it was belt wear. But now I’m thinking the cable after seeing that quick mention in your video.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I didn’t check speed but that alone brought my stock time 0 to 60 down some. Which probably means the throttle wasn’t opening all the way. 👍 -Garrett

When you changed your weights did it lower your RPMs and made it little faster....the big thing did it lower the heat in the cabe.....but this krx 100 2021 is so dang high RPMs be nice to lower your rpms ....

[@DerangedOffRoad]

It can lower your rpms with the weight adjustment. You’ll lose a little power in that area but it would make for a lower rpm cruising speed. It’s really about what you want out of the kit. Not sure about the heat side of things haven’t hit the summer months here yet.

[@Bajaheat]

What would be best for 45mph cruising as in lowering rpm

[@DerangedOffRoad]

On mine 4 one gram weights did that overall. I wanted more lower so I went with two 1 gram weights across from each other.

[@steveklr6505]

Must be nice to be able to drive on the roads

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yep, that’s one reason I like southern Utah.

[@bcfmef]

The kit I got did not come with 1 gram weights. It came with eight 2 gram weights and four 6 gram weights. I don’t see how taking out two 1 gram weights can make a noticeable difference. Now taking out 4 grams total , there Maybe a slight difference in Rpms

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Your kit should have one gram weights in it. Send us a pic of your weight tray on Facebook PM. 👍

[@mandytuning]

That variance of 1k rpm shifting is not right. The stock weight was keeping rpm flats,wonder how will do taking some weight of the stock ones to bump the rpms and still have a constant rpm thru the wot range.you can play removing from the heel only if interested on low speed power

[@TheIrongutz]

Not sure about weights for sxs but the bushings in the weights are always wearing out on sleds. I would think a pressed bearing would last much longer, but no one does it.

[@hphillips7425]

It starts off good then the RPM’S falls off then they pick back up. Is that the clutch or engine tuning ?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

More of the weight settings. After adding the tune with the weights that was all fixed. -Garrett

[@buckhammer5897]

Just wanted to say thanks to you guys, i was on the fence of getting a maverick sport xc x until i was watching the KRX videos. I'm loving my 21 KRX Trail edition. So much better of a machine in almost every way over my 18 polaris rzr rock and trails. So i got about 275 miles in about a month and half, i live up in Washington so it's mostly logging roads and some hill climbs with cruising around in the snow. You guys think there would be much to be gained in doing this kit? What exactly does changing the weights do?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Mainly helps with the low end of the machine. You can tune it according to your elevation as well. If you want more snappy response on the low end this kit will help. 👍

[@WVHotRodRhino]

why was the stock run the only one up hill? Thats not really a good comparison to me

[@DerangedOffRoad]

You're correct. Unintentional dumb over site that we didn't catch until after the video was released. The difference in slope is minimal, but it's there. More testing to come if we can get willing participants -Dave

[@WVHotRodRhino]

@@DerangedOffRoad Here is what we are getting with some of our clutch mods and it doesnt fall off on the rpms like all the other weights out there.We will be making a few different designs too kzbin.info/www/bejne/eF69p6ejbN-Ubbs

[@DerangedOffRoad]

No, on the two seaters we haven’t seen a change yet. The new 4 seater they have seemed to change the weights up some so maybe it will carry over to the two seaters as well for 2023. Yes we can ship to Canada. -Garrett

[@timsewald6289]

You mention lower rpm in the mid. This is what I'm looking for. How much did it go down and at what speed range?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

So honestly it’s what you want it to be. You can adjust for better take off and throttle response from zero to sixty. Or you can adjust so after hitting say 30 rpm can fall off but you won’t have the power like before. That’s the great part about this kit, you can adjust for what you want out of it. Everyone has a different riding style and wants different things. This kit can give that to you. -Garrett

[@cinema4dtutorials822]

how long does this new clutch last, does it have any wear , great video

[@DerangedOffRoad]

It was just the weights that were replaced with a new Gboost belt. So far over a 1,000 miles and still working great.

[@boblaws9851]

I'd say that at least 95% of my riding is in the 0-20 mph range. Not sure if my butt dyno would feel a .2 second 0-20 increase. Maybe there is a more noticeable performance gain over stock if you have oversized tires on? Guess it's time for you to step up a size or two Garrett... :) C'mon man Also curious if running with just two of the four weights could have any negative affect over time?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yeah I know it’s about that time.

[@peterkueffner747]

A clutch kit technically does not make power. It is a way to fine tune the way your transmission shifts to deliver the power. Also helps with belt life when going with big tires.

[@boblaws9851]

@@peterkueffner747 Yep, I know what a clutch kit does. That's why I call it performance gain, not power gain. My point was for rock crawling and typical speeds below 20 mph, I don't know that I would notice any advantage with $350 worth of clutch weights. As for belt life, that appears to be a non-issue with the KRX. With so many guys running 35" tires, I really haven't heard of anyone burning their belt. Huge kudos to Kawasaki for that. I know Polaris and Canam have a tough time with belt life trying to run 30"-32" tires. Hell, even the 29" OEM setups like to burn belts if you aren't careful with them.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Really the main reason I wanted it was for some power speed gains I the sand trails and even mountains. Between 15 and 30 it makes a really big difference for these end. 👍

[@carlmaddux3789]

[@lanceulrich9570]

Guys - I know you said that all runs were on the same road going the same direction but your stock run shows going uphill and all your runs with the kit installed were going downhill - I'm sure you can see how this might look like you were trying to sell clutch kits. Does the measuring device use GPS satellites to determine elevation? Did you do the stock run on a different day so that you locked onto different satellites? My GPS is easily +- 500 feet when it comes to elevation depending on how many satellites it can see at any given time and that may explain the difference.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

You're correct. Complete oversite on our part. Although the slope is minimal it's there. We'll be doing more testing in the near future. -Dave
