Yes I'm sure you can use simple green as well, we just really like the citrus-based cleaner. We've been doing it this way for three years I haven't seen any downsides to it and we run the sleds for a couple thousand miles a season. I guess the biggest thing is to definitely use the rubbing alcohol afterwards to make sure the cleaner doesn't leave a film on the clutches. Thanks!
I literally did all of this yesterday without even watching any videos, and just used what I had in my garage, then this popped up on my recommendations. Well I guess I did something right.
You should make more videos man. I know if you put out more content the subs will keep coming and I would love to see it.
We’re workin on it, hopefully soon! 🤘🏼
Awesome bro I'll definitely watch!
Isn’t there a torque spec for the secondary bolt and use blue lock tight also? Great video.
they drag the sled... seems like a sled shop would have a few little wheel dollys around😂
great vid/tips by the way👌
Entertaining as hell haha. You need to start a vlog this winter for sure!
Approximately how many UGGA-DUGGA'S do you tighten the secondary bolt? Solid video bud!
Thanks guy, much appreciated 👍👊
Dig the video. Need to use a long handle dish scrubber on primary when running. That really could be bad. But; not the mama
really good tips. Definitely will be doing that!
I use compressed air it keeps the dust off and my 1st belt I'm at 8365 miles on That belt And I go up to 100 miles an hour a lot and ride hard on the trails but it's a Yamaha 4 stroke You should check the bearings on the Drive shaft I had a bearing go out 8000 plus miles
Awesome video! These types of videos are awesome. Especially for guys like myself that realistically don’t know shit 😅
i enjoyed the info. he put out i lernd a few things shops are so dam slow and costley 4 mo. to get it back
make more shop tricks i have a xlt that runs it needs help to run like it should will be cleaning belt ie. clutchs
Good video if you dont have done it before, i have done it once, but going to do that i just seen you do next weekend 👌
Very useful and easy to follow. Will do the same once I find some 1964 ugly yellow protective eye glasses.
How come you didn't wash the outside of the secondary with citrol and water?
Yes, cleaning your clutches is a very good idea. While the machine was running did anyone else see the big time whooble in the primary clutch. That right there is not good and possibly will have an engine, clutch failure soon.
@SSFreeride, question for you. Have you used Simple Green on your clutches is it the same as the Citrol you are using? I've always been told cleaners are a no no? Now I'm intrigued because I always want to clean them because I can't stand the dirtiness.
I don’t know why you couldn’t as long as they are safe for aluminum and the bushings. if you are concerned, I would take your old weight bushings and soak them in cleaner and see if the break them down at all as it’s recommended to replace those every 500 miles. I believe the only other bushing in the primary clutch is made of the same material
You guys have a awesome boss😆
Good informative video man! One question,the citrol won’t leach into the belt when the clutches get warm?
I have read lots of guys say to use just soap and water
The alcohol helps clean up any residue from cleaners along with any oils and other contaminants.
Thanks man, I’m contemplating popping my clutches off and throwing them in the dishwasher haha. See how clean the sanitize setting could get em
GOOD JOB AND FUNNY
Can you use brake cleaner for cleaning your clutch?
I would stick with a less harsh cleaner. Remember we are just cutting belt dust and light oils and grease.
Do you change your belts out around 800-1000 miles as use it as spare? What is the max amount of miles you would put on a belt?
Usually as needed! On turbos we'll change them as soon as they throw a string, burn the string and put them on a stocker but that doesn't happen very often.

Rubbing alcohol works great for getting tight grips on as well
I use acetone to clean those clutch faces 👍

Not a very good idea to clean the primary plates with your hand and engine running.....great way to loose a finger!!!! Only takes a few minutes to pop the clutch off and/or clean with engine not running. Just my $.02
If you are aware of the items to stay away from, there is little risk. It is completely smooth on the inside with nothing to grab you. I’ve always been more conscious about my sweatshirt being caught in the clutch cover so I pull my sleeves up. Been doing it 15 years this way.
Seems like a waste of time.
Good video, annoying commentary
Wasted alot of water while washing your belt.
