I forgot to ask before but, is this gear oil "standard" 90 weight? Reason I ask is I owned a yamaha grizzly one time and it said it needed special "hypoid" gear oil.

Dumb question, but would it be okay to use 90 weight hypoid grease in my 95 model King Quad front end?  I don't won't to put something in it that I shouldn't.

Thanks

I just had a thought and was curious if others have had this issue. I've searched a bunch of different websites looking for clutch parts. And so far all I've seen is most all those sites want you to purchase the entire clutch assembly complete with weights and springs already installed.  I've owned other brands of 4 wheelers over the years and most all them you could buy just the weights and springs without having to buy the whole clutch.  Is there a site where I can get just the weights and springs or is the complete assembly the only way to get the clutch? So far they have ranged in prices from $143 to $171 .

Thanks

Looks like I'm about to buy some gear oil 😊

Thanks for the info.

Well that's good to know. I was beginning to wonder. 

Thanks

Thanks man, I'll give that a try  but it will be a few days. I work during the week and won't be able to check it until saturday. 

Thanks

Can someone tell me what type of oil / grease goes in the front differential of my 95 king quad 300?

And also, how often should it be changed?

Thanks

The centrifugal clutch is used to drive the bike from a standstill, and locks up a bit above idle revs, and the plate clutch is controlled by the gear change lever to prevent gears getting crashed when you change gears with a few revs on. The plate clutch has an adjustment on the right hand side of the motor near the oil filter. The adjuster is under a bung. Get a manual and have a read on how to adjust that.

It's very likely the plate clutch adjustment is your problem,(adjusting it is routine maintenance), and an easy job so the first thing to check.

I don't have a manual but did some searching online and found the adjustment procedure.  I did that but it still acts the same. It shifts fine between gears its just not as quick taking off from a dead stop as it use to be. It's like its slipping at first until it gets going pretty good.

I've always been good about changing my oil and filter but after reading some posts on the internet and doing some searching on partszilla I'm seeing there is a "strainer" located under a plate on the bottom side of the engine.  Is this suppose to be cleaned and or replaced at every oil change?  If it happens to stop up will it hurt the engine bearings?  

Thanks

So I'm assuming then, that if the quad seems a little sluggish to start off, like the clutch is slipping that its the centrifugal clutch that needs replacing? Can you just replace the weights and springs like on other quads or do you have to purchase the whole clutch as an assembly?

Thanks

Hi All

I hate to ask a really stupid question but I've done all sorts of google searches and can't find any rock solid answer to my question.

I realize my 95 model king quad has two different "clutch" units on it. One consist of several plates of fiber discs mixed with steel plates whereas the other clutch is a centrifical clutch that uses springs and weights to engage and disengage. My question is, what is the purpose of each of these? I sorta understand the spring and weights clutch but haven't the foggiest idea of what the other one does with the stack of fiber discs and plates. If you can explain this it would be great.

Thanks
