What does a primary clutch spring do?

The primary clutch spring works with the clutch weights to control when your UTV's transmission engages and disengages. Changing this spring can alter your machine's low-speed engagement point and its ability to reach higher RPMs, affecting acceleration and top speed.

How do I know if I need to replace my primary spring?

You might consider replacing your primary spring if you're experiencing issues like poor acceleration, a clutch that engages too early or too late, or if you've modified your UTV with larger tires or a different exhaust and need to re-tune the clutch for optimal performance.

Does this spring come with any other clutch components?

No, this is a single primary drive spring. Other clutch components like weights, buttons, or secondary springs are typically sold separately and may be needed depending on your specific tuning goals or repair needs.
