Please oh please don't let a dealer touch your clutch.
Due to us being in contact with a lot of Maverick owners, I am hearing the exact same stories over and over again with nothing but trouble afterwards.
I highly recommend you never let a dealer touch your clutch, it appears most do not know how to remove one, install a clutch kit or even put it back on right. Anything from leaving bolts on secondary loose, not putting it back on aligned with helix, not torquing primary or secondary right etc.
If you must let them for a warranty issue, please take it apart yourself, check it and reinstall it yourself with the right tools and correct torquing methods. Too easy to do it right. All it takes is a primary holder, secondary holder and a torque wrench
This goes for those who are taking them in for the stud recall etc, if they touch your clutch for any reason, redo everything yourself. If you don't know how to do it, watch our videos.
I bet 90% of all the clutching issues are improper installations by anyone who touches it including Rotax when they initially installed the clutches on the engine.
In all caps for a reason, "THIS IS CRITICAL TO A PROBLEM FREE CLUTCH DO IT YOURSELF SO YOU KNOW IT IS DONE RIGHT"
And feel free to call here for help if you need it.
