I have a 92 Arctic Cat 550 EXT Special. When the clutch engages at about 4500rpm it makes a clunk sound then away I go. Can someone tell me why or what is causing it.

Is it just doing that when you start or is it all the time?

Sounds like and old belt. 4500 rpm's is a high engagement and clunks because the belt locks into position hard. Like dropping the clutch in a car. WHOP! And away you go!


I'm older then you think

Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.
