So I ventured out of the norm and went to a rock crawling meet in Disney, Ok last weekend. I have been working on my Teryx for the last few months so I am not as familiar with it as I was before the mods. I have added VFJ's stage 3 clutch mod, removed the EBC, EHS Air box lid, flip hood mod, HID's, 2 Dually LED's, Maier lid, Muzzy PRO's and 1½ spacers on all 4 corners...

During my first trip out, the first thing I noticed was a stall when starting from a dead stop. I don't have a tach, so I don't know at what RPM the clutch is engaging, but it's a lot more stall then what it use to have. The belt has been adjusted to spec. Is this normal for all of the other riders who have the VFJ clutch mod? The stall was consistant and wasn't all over the place, just wasn't ready for it nor use to it...

Secondly - During my low crawl's across the rocks, my foot was extremely unstable so it was jerky going across the rocks... I noticed there was a knock or clank in the back of the teryx everytime my foot would jump with the gas pedal at this low of a craw. The pedal seems to be in spec for the "play" it's suppose to have. What could this be? Is there an adjustment that I should be making on the back gear drive? Should I check the U joints in the drive shaft? Something with the throttle cable?

All-n-all I was extremely impressed with the way these mods made my ride drive, but had a few question's I figured I would get some opinion's from the PROFESSIONAL'S!!!! (i.e - guys who've experience more with the teryx then i have!!)

Here are a couple pictures from this weekend... I didn't get any of the teryx in action, but found a couple of it sitting on top of a waterfall. Was having way to much fun riding!!

I would imagine that you are hearing more gear lash in the rear diff or from the wet brakes.

As far as the stall, that can be adjusted with springs in the clutch. V-Force is great to deal with and get you what you need for your riding style. Clutch adjustments are very specific and there are way too many variables to list.

What is it hurting with the gear lash or wet brake?

Ok, should I get a tach to better determine where my clutch is engaging?

My Vfj clutch has a minor stall to it. I discussed with jon my mods ant the fact it is heavier due to the 4 seat add on cage it used to have on it. It was put there in mine on purpose.

I can't really help you but I'd like you to describe what you mean by 'stall'. Is it like a bog?

No it's not a bog, it just takes more rpm,s to get the belt to engage than a stock setup.

The stall won't Hurt anything. Caused from a different sprint set-up in the clutch.

Just call v force john tell him what you want. He sets them up 10 diff way,with diff stalls,tire size etc. 570-773-1721

Won't hurt anything but can get very annoying when rock climbing since it wants to lurch a little on take off.

Your best bet would be to get a tach but if the current clutch setup works good for your normal use there would be no reason to adjust it for climbing. Clutch adjustments are sensitive to a bunch of factors and if you dial it in for one type of terrain it may not work the best in another although it will still work. Give or Take?

It is nearly impossible to get them setup 100% perfect for every build. Weight, tire size, terrain, aftermarket upgrades all play a huge difference when setting up a clutch.

I wasn't really concerned about the stall as much as the knock/clunk I kept hearing under the bed... I was just curious if this is a norm for his clutches, which sounds to be that way.

I don't know if I like the stall or not... if I were to climb rock all the time, hell no!

I'm going to test it out in the sand the weekend of the 31st, so we'll see how that works out for me. I'll report back in case anyone is interested.

I was trying to hold off on the tach, because I've already grabbed quite a bit of upgrades this year for the teryx... Plus boating season is coming up... I have a few things I'd like to get this year for it also... Damn toys! :thumbup:

The clunk coming from the rear end is also normal in most cases. More than likely yours is normal as well.

OK then, it sounds like it takes off like a Razr. I've driven my buddies razr before and noticed that it takes more rpm to start and then lurches when it does go. Not sure all razrs are like that but it sounds kind of like what you're talking about. I can see where that would make rock crawling less controlable.

I think I'm going to quit listening to my teryx for noises, till something breaks! Lol...

I started it just a minute ago to get it out of the garage to wash it, and revved it up to hear the new muzzy's cause I'm Diggin the sound... However, as it came back down to an idle I heard a tick. Tried 3 or 4 times and same thing. What the hell could that be?
