Plowman’s upgrade Drive 2 efi primary clutch removal
I just bought a 2020 Yamaha drive2 efi and with a lift and bigger tires it was boggy up hills, so I sent my secondary clutch to Plowman’s for the upgrade. Got it back with instructions to remove the 2 lower rear shock bolts and jack up the bumper to gain access to the primary clutch bolt for removal (all just to install the new drive belt). I have been pulling my hair out for 2 days - i can only assume his instructions referred to a straight axel rear end and I have the independent rear suspension setup. I have tried 5-6 different ways to get at it, so far I was able to remove the battery box and get my impact in there to take the clutch bolt out but there is not enough room to slide the clutch all the way off the shaft. Any advice is appreciated

What's the procedure in the service manual?

Re: Plowman’s upgrade Drive 2 efi primary clutch removal
I removed both clutches at the same time. I don't believe I was able to just remove the secondary by itself because the belt isn't long enough. I had to remove the 1" thick insulation board to make it easier to remove the front clutch and the bag well (only 2 bolts). On my 2017 PTV I didn't have to remove tires, bumper, struts or anything like that. I got to where I could change them out in just a few minutes with my air ratchet.

Re: Plowman’s upgrade Drive 2 efi primary clutch removal
You don’t need to remove the primary to replace the belt with the Plowmans kit. I just did it on my 2019 EFI and installed his secondary and his belt. PS - I’d skip messing with the idle set screw under the air box. I had some weird starting issues which so far have been fully resolved by putting that back to stock, plus you don’t get so much engine braking that it makes it easier to drive... plus you maybe less likely to have the air box hit the charcoal canister if you’re lifted.

Re: Plowman’s upgrade Drive 2 efi primary clutch removal
His instructions must have changed. I did not remove my primary to install the new belt and don't see why you'd need to. Put the belt on the primary, cart in N, roll it onto the secondary, carefully of course as the secondary lip is sharp. Took all of 30 seconds when I did mine.

Re: Plowman’s upgrade Drive 2 efi primary clutch removal
Hey man, i'm here in Georgia as well and looking to go with a Ploman's for my 2017 Quietech Drive2 EFI. Spoke with Don this morning and he recommended the extreme kit. I have the 4 rivet clutch so he said that will be trashed to make way for the new kit.
Question - Did you go with the Extreme kit or the performance kit only? Did you have the 4 rivet or 6 rivet? If any chance you get 5 minutes to discuss on the phone - I'd like to hear how you are liking the upgrade |
