At what RPM does your sled start moving? - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

My 02 mxz 800's clutch doesn't engage untill like over 4k rpm's. And its not smooth when it engades. My buddy has a zr 600 and it was extremly smooth engaging. and it didn't take as high of a rpm. He told me that he thought i needed to adjust the clutch. What do you all think?

My ZR600 engages at like 4800! He might have a clutch kit? He might just have a used belt issue?

My 2000 mxz 700 engages around 4800 also...i bought it used this summer and was not informed if it had a clutch kit or not...my belt is fairly new and in good shape still.

Might try cleaning the primary, a sticky main bushing or sticky flyweights will increase the RPM necessary for engagement...

My Arctic Cat El Tigre 1981 500cc Engages at 3000rpm

3000 might be a bit low for that Tiger.

C'mon, mine engages at 3000 too [on purpose]!
