Yamaha Raptor 660r Clutch Slipping » QUADCRAZY ATV Forums

I have a raptor 660r and I have adjusted the clutch because initially my issue was that when I put it in reverse it would bogg down and die out because it acted like it was not all the way in gear. Then my reverse works after adjusting the cable by the engine and now I am noticing that when I give it alot of gas it slips and does not have all the torque. I also noticed this when I was pulling someone out it was slipping real bad. Anyone have any suggestions?

are your clutch plates burnt? dose the cable have any slack in it? are your prussure plate springs snug? is your prussure plate adjustied right?

you should be able to tell if you clutches are slipping by checking the fluid in the tranny...

Thats what I originally was adjusting to fix the reverse issue was the cable. As far as all that other stuff I guess I will have to go through the manual to see how to do all that stuff because I have never really played with transmission type of stuff before.

You may put too much tension on the cable, leaving the clutch partially disengaged at all times. Try putting just a tiny bit of slack back in the cable.

I think Dirt Demon has it. readjust the cable so it has a little more slack in it.
I recommend the Dr.D reverse lever for 660rs, it's COOL and makes reversing and adjusting really easy.
