I think it’s cvt lol Seriously, though it’s constantly variable transmission. Constant velocity transmission mean it has a CONSTANT (non changing) velocity thus defeating the purpose of he cvt. Constantly variable means it has many different velocities thus the concept of the cvt. Also great video. Very well explained.
Great video and informative. Lose the sarcasm and condescending tone at the beginning as an improvement. Not everyone has ridden Atv their entire life and what tires is a legitimate question.
Hi, what do you think of EPI Clutch kits? I have installed one on XTP 1000 and it feels like i have got more power with my 30 inch tyres... It should work better in mud, and acceleration should be higher than the stock one.
So from your experience, would you recommend dalton clutch kits over most other brands? I went from the stock 2 ply tires on my sportsman to 6 ply, and only going up 1" in size, i noticed quite a difference in power. Seems sluggish. Going to do some upgrades in the off season, just doing some research. Thanks for the info!!
When you change tires the main issue is weight difference vs tire size. Clutching will need to be adjusted to match the increase in weight. I like Dalton for the fine tuning ability, RVS Performance is another company to contact. Big time Polaris place. You are very welcome!!!
I know this is an older video, but I have a legitimate question. I have a 21' kodiak 700. No bells and whistles like power steering. Just stock 4x4 with the cvt. It's primary use is for plowing my driveway, but I use it for odds and ends in my swamp from time to time. I have a pretty long asphalt drive and didn't want to spend the money on a beater truck and plow so I invested in this and a 54" plow. Since the tires are still spinning when the snow is pushed up, I know it's currently capable for the task, but is there anything you'd recommend? Should I stop doing this with this machine? Is there any upgrade or am I on track to destroy this thing? I always heard plowing is hard on transmissions, but I needed something to get the job done quickly and it's what I settled on. So far, I'm really happy with how it performs. Any advice is appreciated.
Definitely a great choice for a plowing unit. The Ultramatic clutch set up from Yamaha is one of the best. Just use Low range when pushing lots or heavy snow AND don't hit the banks too hard! Possibly upgrading from the stock tires may be a benefit as well.
I wish my Sportsman XP 1000 had a wet clutch like my Grizzy and Kodiak 700 because CVT is so much better the belt doesn't slip and tuning is so much easier and you can even change the gear ratio . And shifting gears is dangerous, I know I rolled a 3 wheeler backwards down a long and steep hill because it miss a gear would not have a Honda if was last ATV you could get.
@@ADVENTURESThisWay it doesn't matter what brand you're screwed with water and mud in belt cover but Yamaha's still better than Polaris or can am, the Yamaha's just cleaning your good and they also make grease less weights than you just spray them out but with Polaris or can am you are super f up with the one way gets water or mud in it and it's a nightmare to fix a one way or buy a $ 500 for a new clutch. I have watched a guy on TH-cam with a brand new can am got a little water in the belt cover and the next day the one way was locked up only cost me about $1000 for the dealer to fix it .
@@ADVENTURESThisWay the grease that would come in contact with any mud is only used for noise. Hence the reason we run greaseless in the primary. It has nothing to do with the wet clutch.
LMAO! Git the nail right on the head. If I could tell you how many messages I have received on GB, IG, and YT asking me "what should I run or what do I need to do to make my machine like yours? Palm to the face every time. I hope you have a large checkbook....basically the way to sum it up. No hobby, sport, enjoyment is ever cheap. If you like to just trail ride you will be alright and don't require much. However...........if you like performance, noise, power, and oh shit moments.....be prepared to spend some dollars. LOL Great video Don!
Hey there!Just ordered the dalton kit for my sportsman. Also got the clutch puller. Do I need a special press to get the clutches apart or is it just that puller I need ? Thanks!
The primary no, the secondary yes but you can make one yourself. Many aftermarket companies sell them, its a compression tool. Basically compresses the spring inside in order to remove the bolts holding secondary together.
I have a 2022 Can-Am renegade XMR 1000r what if I wanted to put trail tires not mud tires just regular trail tires the same size as my stock tire will I need to do clutching
The stock clutching I designed to run the stock tire and wheels. There is not much advantage to be gained. However a change in the secondary spring could change how it reacts
@@ADVENTURESThisWayi have stock height tires but they are Interco Vampire IIs. They are heavy and have fairly decent lugs, they weigh around 33 pounds each. (14.96 kg for those that cant follow standard weights)😂 Would i benefit from aftermarket clutch?
Hey, this may sound stupid but I'm just a young guy on my first quad. I hate the fact that I can't gear down because of my Honda fireman's shifter. I also have problems going down big hills at top speed. Is there a way to convert my quad to have a shifter/transmission closer to that of a manual car where I can engage the clutch to gear down and at top speed (I still want the foot shifter)?
Honestly I know very little about Hondas, so I'm no help to you. I would suggest checking out some Honda groups on Facebook or some Honda Fourms. Good luck 👍
Constantly Variable Transmission or Constant Velocity Transmission which is it??
I think it’s cvt lol
Seriously, though it’s constantly variable transmission. Constant velocity transmission mean it has a CONSTANT (non changing) velocity thus defeating the purpose of he cvt. Constantly variable means it has many different velocities thus the concept of the cvt.

Continuously variable trans.

Thanks for watching!
Great video Don explaining how the CVT works. Keep up the great vids.
I’ll keep plugging away. More riding on the way!
Learned something new today! Thank you.
I’m always learning something new...
This guy just made it all make sense..
Glad you found this helpful
You have an easy time explaining things, keep it up !
Glad you think so!
Nicely done, I watch all you guys stuff, good job boys. Ha
Right on, love to hear that! Do me a favour and share some with your buds...Thanks!
@@ADVENTURESThisWay planning to get in the woods this weekend, will post
2001 sportsman 500ho 29.5 outlaw 2s. Clutch kit needed? Mainly trail riding and mud
Definitely would help. Those tires are much heavier than the stock set up.
Hi, what do you think of EPI Clutch kits? I have installed one on XTP 1000 and it feels like i have got more power with my 30 inch tyres... It should work better in mud, and acceleration should be higher than the stock one.
EPI makes quality stuff. Its not adding actual power, but the kit changes how the clutch reacts. Sounds like you are on the right track.
So from your experience, would you recommend dalton clutch kits over most other brands? I went from the stock 2 ply tires on my sportsman to 6 ply, and only going up 1" in size, i noticed quite a difference in power. Seems sluggish.

The wet clutch is nice, however the grease style Yamaha clutch set up not so good for mud and water riding!

Primary clutch is DRIVE clutch, 2ndary is the DRIVEN.
Would i need a gear reduction or a clutch kit to run 29.5 outlaws on a polaris sportsman 450
Definitely some clutching! I know the 570 can turn the Outlaw 2's-talk to Ryan at RVS Performance
I don’t have to tool or experience on this things. How much would be the going price to have a shop doing it for me? Thank you
Any reputable shop wouldn't be more than a hours labor for install. plus the parts.
I have a 2019 sportsman 850 with stock 26 inch tires , im upgrading to 27 inch , most people say i dont need clutch kit , whats your advice???
you will be fine. The biggest issue with changing tires is the weight of the tire. But you can still make clutch changes which improve responsiveness

Continuously variable transmission bud
YES it IS! First person to actually answer that!

As long as similar size and weight, will not be a problem. Most of the time you will be using H gear for trail rides, will work fine
@@ADVENTURESThisWay thank you
How well does a clutch kit work if you have stock tires

Hi my name is leroy epi performance atv have clutch kit they good brand epi belt
Nice!
Kawasaki brute 300 cc what do y think of the equipment
I'm not familiar with the Brute Force at all, unfortunately
Except for cars... CVT is horrible on cars, absolutely hate it...
If he was half as intelligent as he pretends to be, he wouldn't have disabled ratings and deleting comments.
If you have a can am 1000cc its probably safe to say....get a clutch kit ..those things eat belts
