World Mechanics where does that long bolt go ?

[@shawnthomas5557]

Cool video! Thanks but aren't you supposed to let the clutch plates soak in oil?

[@leepriestdoshapemontado]

iguess .... that clutch will not last long thats for sure. my raptors friends burn 2 clutchs because the mechanic doesn´t soaked them in oil

[@carlpaving]

I'm changing mine this weekend but if I let the clutch plates soak in engine oil do I let the springs soak too?

[@sempa312]

What type of oil do you soak them in? For how long? Do you dry them or leave wet when installing? Thank you! This would help so much

[@kingdombarbershop1900]

that clutch not gonna last for long , you should have had the plates soaked in engine oil prior installing

[@M3M3S824]

Do i spke the clutch disc and plate in oil first?i was yold yes...

[@fsdq123]

[@aaronoechsle3434]

[@missysmessage722]

Getting ready to do this on my kfx 400. 2003-2004 dont have the spacer im pretty sure.

[@MsJessie1989]

Good video thanks gonna replace my clutch the weekend it's slipping under load:-( thanks

[@WorldMechanics]

MsJessie1989 I am glad it was helpful. That's how mine was. It started slipping when the engine get warm and under load.

[@MsJessie1989]

All changed now and running perfect get to feel them hotcams kicking In properly now it's geared up to a 15 tooth sprocket on front just ordered a 14 tooth so should give me a bit more bottom end power with out taking to much away from the mid range and top end once again thanks video was really helpful

[@WorldMechanics]

MsJessie1989 Awesome! Let me know how the 14 tooth sprocket is when you get it. I was thinking about getting one too. Thank you

[@Elsanta666]

Mine is a 03 quadsport, i replaced the clutch but did not have that small spacer, and the repair manual does not mention it..do all have it?

[@762Kwan]

what brand clutches did you use ?

[@davidjresto6858]

I recently did the clutch change, but I notice that the new clutch kit came with 7 clutch disc and the one that I took off the atv had 8! how many disc did yo put in this video??

[@craigcorbin4098]

[@quirinzrenner5296]

How about a new seal for the ,,side cover“? And you also should get a new clutch cable when you change your clutch... And you have to take the oil Out of the oil Tank by remove the 2nd screw...

[@metal-wardentertainment460]

Did you make a video yet for how to remove the entire pack to get the cam chain installed? I'm so confused...

[@TerrellSpivey]

Good question! I'm in search of the same thing! I'm afraid I need to replace my cam chain :(

[@Leogarcia31611]

I have a question what kind of oil do you use for the clutch

[@dillonnobert5655]

are you replacing the clutch because of the recall? my ltz is having coolant problems. when the quad is off the coolant is low but when i have it running it starts to fill up and my overheat light comes on. fan still comes on. i heard its a blocked coolant passage from the clutch cover. is this a video to fix the problem?

[@WorldMechanics]

Dillon Nobert I had to replace the clutch because it started slipping when it was hot. However, I had another problem similar to yours. Mine was loosing coolant all the time so I thought that it was the head gasket. I installed new head gasket and it still kept losing coolant then I took the right engine cover off. The one that I take off in the video. The gasket that was on the cover has two seals that prevent coolant leaking in the oil so I ordered the gasket for the right cover and that fixed my problem. I hope that helps!

[@dillonnobert5655]

Awesome ill give it a try and ill ask questions if i need help. Thank you! Also could you send a link of the parts that you replaced?

[@dillonnobert5655]

Im not to sure what parts i need. Im new to quads

[@jimcorish6780]

Just replaced clutch watching this video..put everything back together and the clutch has no spring in lever...i unhooked clutch cable from the little post on engine and the little post just spins..any advice

[@dillonnobert5655]

OK so I took off the oil filter cover and I it was full of oil probably a full cup then I took of the clutch case cover on the right side like in the video and that whole case full of oil and I'm guessing all the coolant that leaking is also in there does look a little yellow. Would the gaskets be the problem and should I replace everything that you replaced in the video ? Thanks

[@WorldMechanics]

Dillon Nobert Most likely is the case cover gasket. This will be the cheapest fix. In this case you will need to replace it. You do not need to replace the clutch. Unless it needs it.What year is your Suzuki, I will try to find the part. I got mine on ebay. It cost me less than $20.

[@dillonnobert5655]

it's the 05 limited edition

[@dillonnobert5655]

The gasket when I took the cover off was completely ripped apart. I had to get a soft hammer to get the cover off to pop off all stuck in peices

[@darnley.ltz4002]

In probly gonna put mine on tomarow or Sunday

[@adventureair5217]

Mine also is missing the spacer morgan goines is talking about. you mention it at 5:12 and 5:49 - 6:01.Also, I bought a PDF repair manual for the bike and there is no spacer on the diagram. my quad is year 2003. Another thing, the one narrower plate was the 7th of the 8 plates when I took it out instead of the first. and they had one of the 7 wider plates in first and that plate was shaved flat on the medial side facing the motor. so im guessing someone before i bought it did this wrong not noticing one was narrower. the narrow plate does appear in my manuals diagram but no spacer.

[@curtisshrum6110]

Does anyone know of a video on how to replace the crankcase gasket? I've bought 3 and they all have leaked.

[@Hommyful]

do you still have this ltz 400?

[@WorldMechanics]

Hommyful yes I do

[@Hommyful]

I got an 04 ltz 400 and its leaking oil by the clutch realese lever can you explain how to replace the seals please

[@WorldMechanics]

Hommyful I will look at it and let you know in the next few days

[@GerrinMcCune-xe8vv]

What is the problem on a ltz400 when it stuck in first 1 and nurture

[@tonyarriaga3641]

The video is good but you should really update it and suggest the plates are soaked in oil before instal or at least dipped in oil. My son watched your video and wasted not only his time but the clutch plates because they slipped and are burnt now.

[@redneck1662]

I was gonna put my new clutch in tomorrow right when it got delivered just pull it out and put it in, i didnt know they had to be dipped, thanks

[@Rolling100]

why did he remove the oil filter cover?

[@johnb4830]

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@theoneandonly6441]

That's one long ass girly nail you have there

[@fjcastani7041]

😆😆😆

[@andramed16]

Thank you

[@webfishing_]

my 05 ltz 400 is not starting.. any idea why,?

[@WorldMechanics]

+BJ Carter are you getting spark?

[@metal-wardentertainment460]

Reshim the valves. I bet if you try to get it to TDC you won't feel any compression. Check valve clearance and make sure they have clearance. If you see one under .002" it needs to have a valve job. Once shimmed correctly it will start.

[@vvspablooo4259]

My 400 doesn’t leave out of neutral. Is it the clutch ?

[@morgangoines9607]

No it was the curved one behind the first clutch plate. Mines an 03 and it didn't come with one.

[@ronjones2557]

Why did you not put the clutches in oil first

[@scottkellogg8145]

I replaced my clutch on my 06 Suzuki quad sport z400 via the video still won't engage so I'm thinking my cable is shot

[@coltm4a1ops]

i bought an 06 z400< and the shifter is welded to the shift shaft. how do i replace the shift shaft??

[@redneck1662]

New shaft

[@emmanuelperez2227]

Good

[@x3frankV]

when i put my atv in gear the bike starts to move while holding the clutch. do i need new clutch disk

[@Jake-ug2mf]

Probably not, it sounds like you just need to adjust your clutch cable so it fully disengages while the lever is pulled.

[@metal-wardentertainment460]

loosen the cable all the way and mark where the arm/lever is on the engine when fully released... When resetting it back into your clutch handle, make sure you adjust it to where when released the arm/lever on engine is at same mark.

any one know how to replace the coolant seals

[@metal-wardentertainment460]

High temp silicone, use the blue or red. black on parts containing oil. Makee sure everything is clean of debris and make sure to re-torque everything back to specs in a cross pattern so you don't warp anything.

[@gabrielhartung8801]

You never put anything on either side of a steel plate except a fiber/friction plate.
