I just got a clutch kit from Dalton Industries and am getting ready to install it this week.  Anyone have any suggestions on the best weight and spring setup?

Setting up your clutch depends on what type of riding you will be doing. Unless you have installed very large tires, race, or rock crawl, the stock set up is sufficiant for most stock situations. There are many vendors that sell different types of kits. Some come with only fly weights. Others come with anything from primary springs, adjustable weights, secondary springs, and multi ramp helix. I am not sure your average trail rider needs all the parts offered in the high tech set ups. Most of it is hype and glitter. Just going up on the fly weights by a few grams will do fine for most riders. If you want to engage at a higher RPM, then you will need a different primary spring. If you have a lot of HP, then you may need a stronger secondary spring. The jury is still out on the multi ramp helix.

Before changing anything, get a good base line on your stock clutch. I would change fly weights first. Just a few grams will make a big change.

There is a lot to clutching. It is a balancing act, and one should read all they can find BEFORE making changes. As stated above, get a good STOCK base line, then make only ONE change at a time. It may feel better by "seat of the pants" testing, but real numbers may open your eyes. This is a very in depth subject, and should not be taken lightly.

Thanks for the info Roger. I am going to be putting something in my RZR-S but I have to figure out what kit to buy.

Decide what  style riding you will be doing the MOST, then contact some of the vendors. Tell them everything that you have done to your ride, and what you want it to do. They can make it perform great for ONE application only, or they can find a happy medium than will be average for severial applications.  This is why I have said the STOCK set up is good for most riders.

I like extreme hill climbing, and mostly trail riding.

You should be good with the stock set up. It is already set up for trail riding. With rock crawling, and hill climbing, you should be in low gear, so you are good to go there too. I would leave it stock.

We put an EPI set up in my buddys RZR-S and he says it was the best thing he did. He said it has more RPM's so when your at the bottom of a hill with no runway it hits the hill a little faster.
