Clutch Screech

[skier207]

I am getting a loud screech releasing my clutch when under a load like starting off in deep sand. I doesn't happen all the time but becoming more frequent. The best description is, it sounds just a a dry worn out bushing.

screech?

[skier207]

Yes, Screech. I think it may be the clutch but I have never heard any clutch make this kind of noise ever.
What's with the picture? I prefer looking at girls.

Your clutch is slipping. Replace the clutch.

sheriff525, thanks.

Does anyone know if there is a better clutch? This one is less than a year old.

Mine does the same thing. I have a 15T front sprocket, so it does it more than it should with stock gearing. I haven't had any slipping issues and just figured that the clutch is stressing a lot under take off. It's something that I keep an eye on, but nothing that I'm worrying about.

The stock clutch is actually really good. I am in the process of ordering a new one as well for the exact reason. It will get worse but I think the cure would be to get slightly stiffer springs.
Hindson makes a really good clutch but you will have to sell your first born. DP makes also a good clutch but it lasts just as long as the stock i have heard.

These motors just like to eat up clutches.
