King Quad Clutch Shim mod *How To*

[@AtvAdventureVlog]

👏👍

[@markcouch331]

I did the shims today. Thank you so much for this video . Wow what a difference. I have 1000 foot tall mountain on my property and it's steep . Before it felt like it was slipping climbing today it powered all the way to top.

Was that little black rubber piece inside the cover, cause it was on top of the primary bolt when you took it off

Haha yes! And after the video I saw it and had to take the cover off and put it back on 😐

Hey great explanation. I have a 17 kq750 I’m interested in adding shims to. Stock tires. Do you recommend the 1.5 from the comments I saw afterwards? Happen to have a reliable link? Thanks!

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

Yes I’d still recommend the 1.5 shim. I just typed Suzuki king quad shim on eBay and you’ll see it pop up.

[@JoseRomero-ni3sl]

hey I was wondering I’m about to change a belt on my 07 700 tmre do you have to torque down that bold or no I was wondering cux I don’t got a torque wrench or nun. Will it be fine if I don’t torque it down?

[@haraldschmading6586]

Why did you put the shim mod behind ... you have to less top speed as a result....What do I have to do when i want to ride a little bit faster?

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

It gives you more low end torque. You lose very minimal top speed. But who cruises around at 60+mph regularly?

[@edl246]

Anyone know the torque specs on the bolt holding the clutch on ?

[@king_dozer_1325]

Snug is my guess

[@ROHONDA-CAPREOL]

Hey buddy! Thanks for the info- doing mine in the spring! I am curious- what exhaust do you have on it and did you have to re-tune for that exhaust? Sounds sweet!

[@gretchenmorfea5988]

If I have recently flooded my belt box with mud and water at a park is it recommended that I clean the whole clutch system?

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

Yes, a lot of gunk will build up in there and cause slipping. Wash the entire housing out and get in there good to clean the clutch.

[@gretchenmorfea5988]

@@RidinDirtyOutdoors ok thanks

[@SAAD_7644]

Excuse me ‘ What's the use of Shim mod 1.2m??

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

Saad 750 the shims act as a gear reduction restoring some loss of power experienced when running bigger than stock tires

[@rubicscube7827]

when you were all finished,and fired up the bike , did you find it hard to initially shift from H to L to R? after i done my mod (2mm) i found it very hard to shift through H L R,. After a few minutes of riding and shifting through again, it started to shift normally.

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

rubicscube78 I didn’t, mine was pretty smooth. I only did a 1.2mm shim. I’m about to send my clutch off in the next couple of weeks and will be doing a 1.5mm I’m glad yours went back to normal, the shins probably just had to set in place.

[@SplitHairz]

Did you grease the collar on the inside before you put it back on? If so with what kind of grease? I only ask because you made mention of cleaning the collar but upon installing it you wiped off grease.

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

Mine still had grease in it, I did this mod with around 100 miles on my machine. I wiped away some grease that happened to come outside of the hole in the collar. If you need grease any multi purpose grease from the parts store will do

[@SplitHairz]

@@RidinDirtyOutdoors Thanks for the reply and the video BTW. I assume just a thin coat of grease inside the collar/sleeve? Or do you just put it on and fill the hole?

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

@@SplitHairz yes just a thin coat inside the collar then place it on. Doesn’t need to be packed, you’ll run the risk of it flinging out all over the belt causing slip and belt glaze.

[@Ed-dn9tg]

Hey Man I have the same quad same color too when I go into water my quad won’t pass 10Mph afterwards for like 2 days any clue what to do?

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

Check your clutch housing for leaks, sounds like the belt is getting wet and slipping until it dries out

[@shotgunz124]

Hey man did this help much I have a 20 500 kq it does great just wondering what this helped

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

It does brother, but if I went back and did it again I’d just go straight for the Coop mod. Are you on the king quad FB group?

[@murph2521]

Did you ever do the 18g roller model? If so how is the change? And top speed loss? I've had the exact same shims you bought for a few months and I'm just now about to install them. Just wondering if I should go the 1.5 or 2mm. Not super hard to take apart so I guess I can experiment with it and see. I've been skidding logs and all kinds of stuff so the low end is what I'm after

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

murph no loss of speed with lightweight rollers. I’d go 1.5 or 1.7

[@donaldfuller5041]

[@donaldfuller5041]

I've got a 2019 that only has 100 miles on it. Is there a better battery than the factory one that comes with the quad? I don't ride it enough and the voltage drops before the engine has a chance to fire thus the injector isn't firing. I've tried battery tenders. I'm thinking I need more cranking amps.

Nothing else do to the bike, how do you calculate what thickness of shims you need? You had 1.2 and 1.5 mentionned bellow, wondering why people go to 2mm, or 1.5 or 1.2 what would you recommend? I'm looking to have the bars hit me in the face while I sit quietly on my atv lol ( wheelie )

So the thicker the shim the more torque you’ll have but slightly decreased top speed, if you want the best wheelie effect your gonna want mike to do his thing on the clutch

It controls the timing and fuel, and our high energy and repetitive fire ignition allows for crisper throttle response, reduced fuel consumption, while giving substantial power gain.

How does that shim model work for you? Is there a major difference in low end grab or top speed etc? Awesome vids bro ur the only one I see with the same quad as me that is doing the mods I wanna do lol

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

murph big difference in low end torque for sure. You don’t lose too much top end, but you do lose some but I’m never cruising around at 60+ mph so it mattered very little to me. Next up is getting my primary clutch sheave machined...it’s like a gear reduction for belt driven quads but without losing ANY top end. There are 2 guys that do it, one in Utah and the other in Canada. It’s about $200 to get it done.

[@murph2521]

@@RidinDirtyOutdoors dang yea well I ride around here we ride the tracks alot and the road a bit as well so I'd hate to lose too much speed however the extra oomph at low end sounds nice lol I'm contemplating the evolution and tuner these days

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

murph it’s not a crazy amount lost. You can still hit the track and ride the roadway. Hardly noticeable in high gear. If you skip the shim and do the machined primary then you’ll get more low end and no loss of top end. I just plan to do both for added grunt in any mud and when I get bigger tires

Very well done video, interested to see how you like the shim mod. Do you know how much top speed you lose?

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

rzl07375 thanks I appreciate it. I like it, I can definitely feel more low end grunt from the machine. I haven’t tested to see how much top end but the way I see it how often am I cruising around at 60+mph on my atv. Usually I’m under 25 at any park and especially when going through mud and stuff so it’s not that big of a deal. I plan to do the coop mod and have my primary sheave machined down, it’ll add a little grunt without losing any more top end.

[@rzl07375]

@@RidinDirtyOutdoors You have taller tires anyways so your top speed probably isnt reduced all that much over when it had stock tires on it. Yea the machined clutch is where its at for the Kings. Really like the way your machine looks, was looking at on the Suzuki FB group.. very well done build.

Jamie Jackson do you have it shimmed? Enough thread for the bolt to catch properly? Obviously it shouldn’t be popping off like that. Triple check everything cuz that cage is pretty important

[@RidinDirtyOutdoors]

Official_Auto this mod will definitely help restore some grunt that you’re gonna lose going to bigger tires. Is it absolutely needed? No it’s not, the 750 is more than capable. But this just helps the machine make up for the extra weight and improve your low end torque. You will lose a couple mph off the top with this mod, but it’s worth it.
