Will this clutch last?

[mikol]

Good morning, I recently bought a 19 Mtn cat, got the first ride in and it currently sits around 1000kms. Looking it over and noticed some marks on the primary that look like possible cracks? Would appreciate some input as to whether I should be worried or not. Thanks, rather catch it now and replace then have a chopper bill.


Sorry in advance if I didn’t unload the pictures correctly.

That's all casting flash not cracking. For cracking focus on the front cover near the bolts and on the sheaves.

My 18 Highcountry Clutch look like that for 6000 km. I said above, keep an eye on the cover and the towers.

As everyone has said, what you are looking at is just from the casting process. This is where you need to watch.

Also keep in mind that clutch has been recalled, so any cracks means a new clutch.

Not in Canada, US only.

if you read the remedy section it seems clear that they will replace the clutch if it’s cracked
