There is more to say about clutching a utv then I would care to type. I often tell customers that clutching is ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOUR RIG. Most customers just think they should buy what everyone else runs or recommends, or buy what someone else mentioned was good. Spring kits and clutching are two things you should never just take someones advise on. Your rigs are more different then you think. 


Where do you ride? What is the typical terrain you drive on? Slow or fast? Weight of the machine, tire size, number of seats, belt type, what do you carry onboard?? Its overwhelming and simply put, any one who tells you they are giving you the "BEST" clutch kit is looking for a sale.

If you think just buying a clutch kit will make it faster or fix your issues? Think again, you are actually going to cause more issues without the right advise.

A quick utv clutching explanation. If you set up a clutch for mid power or top end power, you are giving up something somewhere else. That is usually the bottom end and low rpm power. So if you ride slow trails, rocks, etc, you ended up hurting your belt and clutch sheeves.

I often tell people clutching a utv often relates to trying to climb a dirt hill in a truck.

Manual or automatic transmission?

Automatic. Clutching is like adding a big high stall torque converter. More top end power, but it kills the crawlability and slow speed. You end up burning up the fluid, converter, and trans.

Manual: its like trying to climb the hill in 2nd gear and you no longer have a 1st gear. It just keeps burning up the clutch.

Hope that helps.


Its a give or take scenario with clutching, but with the Kawasaki KRX wet clutch system makes it much easier to do in a KRX. Clutching is complicated, but with the right guy and right recommendations, you can do it yourself!
