1994 Yamaha Kodiak FYM400 4x4 Primary Clutch Issues

[TooTallPaul]

Hey Group,

Looking for someone that has gone down this road or knows of the fix or where to acquire the part.

Picked up a 1994 Yamaha Kodiak FYM400 4x4 that someone really abused it.  I kinda got carried away with the restore as I don't like seeing a decent quad going to pasture without trying to fix it.  It wasn't running when I picked it up so I didn't have the ability to test drive it. 

I ended up replacing the entire top end of the engine as it was obvious that the previous owner got the oil too hot (all the fan blades were missing) and the cam was bouncing around in the head.  Cylinder, piston, new ignition system (coil, CDI box and stator) carb and a bunch of other odds and ends that were worn out.  I replaced the secondary clutch plates although they were within tolerance and bolted it back together.  

It fired right up and I was pretty exited.  After an engine break in run, I shifted it into gear and could clearly feel it going into gear.  Only problem is, it won't move.  

I pulled the clutch cover off and figured the primary clutch was the culprit.  I measured the linings and even though they are not uniform in the wear pattern, I would consider that they are not within tolerance (minimum 1.5mm , 2mm stock).

Problem is, I can't find a replacement primary clutch anywhere.  Part number is ID'd as 4GB-16620-02-00 CLUTCH CARRIER ASSEMBLY.

Anyone got an idea where to find one, or replace the shoes or whatever.

Kinda in a jam.

You might be able to get them relined. A brake specialist should be able to do it.

If you can get them relined that would be the best, but, i think the aftermarket company caltric makes them for the older Kodiaks.

Relining would be an option.  Anyone got any ideas on who does that now? I am in northern Montana and we don't have a large industry.  I could definitely send them in.

I have spent a couple of hours on sites, couldn't find a match,  Sent Caltric a question seeing if they have an option.

[TooTallPaul]

Caltric doesn't carry a replacement; even checked via OEM number.

Well,

I figured it out.  It wasn't the primary clutch.  When I assembled the side cover, the Guide Shift and the Pawl Holder were not aligned correctly.  Pulled my head out of my tail, assembled it correctly, put it back together, added oil (again) and it actually moves now.

Thanks for the assistance, 

Paul

Glad to hear you got it going I thought I remembered caltric having them but maybe don’t go back to 94
