When I was using my minibike to tow my gear the first trip out I galled the centrifugal clutch from the strain. Was stuck in engaged position... was happy the kill switch worked that day. It was slipping a lot and took some high revs to engage before that.
Upgraded to a bigger rear sprocket (60T if I remember right) and a Tav2 Torque Converter setup (Auto trans) and set the tension spring to its lowest torque setting. Used a 10t sprocket on the front.
Made a world of difference. Actually felt like I had six horses pulling on the throttle. Never had a problem with the clutch in the torque converter galling. It struggled on the hills with the current load I haul now though. But was still holding up to the abuse.
Haven't had any issues like that with the Rhino and the sprocket change. The last trip the load out was somewhere between 6-700 lbs + 200lbs of me. Honestly I'm kind of curious when the clutch will wear out. Gonna have to pop it open sometime early this season and inspect it. Not getting any slipping or having to high rev it to engage so it must still be in good shape.
You guys would know better then me. If it is worn, the clutch lever will probably grab much later in the throw right? Just looking for some early warning signs a change is in my future.
