Took my Mav back to the dealer for the clutch stud update and had them put my EPI clutch kit in also. They started off with getting a base line of where my Mav was with another stock Maverick. Stock vs stock my Mav pulled away at 4000rpms. I don't know if I have a "factory freak" or scotchbriting my primary and secondary clutches did the trick. After they got the EPI kit installed and dialed it in they raced a Maverick with a $2000 STI (I think its called STI) clutch set up and my Mav was right with it and never got beat. All in all pretty impressed. I'm going to run it this Saturday at a local rec area here in lower MI to further test her out.

Which kit did you get? The Mudder or the Sand Dune kit?

Any video of this test? That would be awesome

 

[SS90]

What rec area you going to take it to?

 

[maverickmn]

Just a $300 spring etc kit?

 

[Benzo]

its a stm clutch kit your talking about

so the epi puts enough pressure on the clutches to bite good huh

 

[heavysledz]

I think I saw this kit at Turn Key for $276. Factor in the 10% forum discount and would be around $250.

I will try and get some videos up in the next couple of days. The place I ride in MI is called Bundy Hill. Its located in Hillsdale MI. Basically a gravel pit turned into a riding park. Lots of fun things to do. I have the "Trail kit". Supposedly an all around kit. I will be checking it out at Silver Lake sand dunes as well on 8-10 thru 8-13. Hopefully I can run a new XP1000 and see how bad it beats me.

 

[Jasonmtrx]

Well......bad news......Silver Lake sand dunes killed any ambitions left for my Mav......eating two 150$ belts(4 total now) . New XP 1000 will be ordered soon. Mav will be gone.....

Sorry to hear that. I did the QSC from Russell after having problems from you, and it's been great!

 

[Jasonmtrx]

I'm going to keep the Mav and get the STM set up. It's to awesome of a machine for me to give up on.

 

[Jsmith]

That's what I like to hear. Truth is that you seen how big a piece of shit the xp1000 is and then changed your mind, huh.

 

[trailboss]

Perhaps the title of this post should be changed!

 

[Jasonmtrx]

Got the STM set up....Awesome!!!! Bring on the XP1000!!!!!

Wonder if your clutches are mis-aligned? Or are somehow scarred / scraped... I've ridden 500+ miles in the OR Dunes and haven't broken a belt yet with the stock clutching.

I'm wondering the same thing. Something sounds amiss there. My EPI clutch kit worked great before I swapped it over for the QSC/STM set up and the belt looked like new. It became my spare to carry with me. The EPI kit is now in the classified section if anyone is interested.

 

[Jasonmtrx]

It is very possible about my stock clutches being misaligned. All I know is I hope I don't have to worry anymore with the STM set up!!! It would be nice to ride on the dunes for more than 5 minutes.. lol

 

[kroth1984]

why so many belts? what paddles were you running

 

[Jasonmtrx]

I don't really know for sure??? 26" ITP Sand Stars. I have the STM set up now and just ordered their blower.
