Even with a clutch kit if you do not have around 500-1000 miles (I prefer the upper end) your engine is not broke in all rhe way yet so it is not giving you the umph it will be.
I do not have a cluthc kit and have 26inch mudlites on my TRV 500 and it gets up and scoots right along and does not strain at all when it pulls a load or plows heavy snow.
It would probably be better with a clutch kit but it works fine for me the way it is.
The clutch kits that I am aware of cause the clutch to engage at different engine rpm's to either allow it put power to the tires quickly with less power (due to lower rpm's) or at a higher rpm (giving it more punch).
If this is what you intalled I would guess that the belt is slipping.

To keep from getting mud in your face (literally)
If and when you put new tires on put fender extentions on as well if you do not have them already. Keeps the rear tires from really peppering the passenger.

My 12 year old daughter was laughing about it too until that softball sized chunk of dirt and mud with rocks in it flew up and smashed her in the face bloodied her nose and broke her gogles but it could have been worse it she was not wearing it. Made me feel like a real heel as well. Especially trying to explain the banged up nose and black eye to friends. Well you see....
That caused my wife to make me lengthen the mud flaps. So its all fun and games....

Yeah the water/mud stuff isn't as much a problem. But I was probably driving too fast and I hit some silty/gravely stuff we have on our baeches up here and started to sink fast so I turned the front wheels and pinned the throttle to keep from getting stuck.
Next thing I know we are sliding sideways with golfball sized chunks and larger of rocks/silt flying all over. We then drove into this roster olf chinks. I got hit too but it only left welts on me.
I eltended the fender flaps about another 5inches. Haven't had a problem since. It did not slow my daughter down too much but was kind of tough to explain to people.
I think I have about 6500+ miles on my TRV. Not really sure as my odometer/spedo broke around 1000miles. Never bothered to fix it as the drive gear for the speedo broke in the tranny. Have to tear it down and split the case to fix. So I installed an hour meter for maintenance purposes it says about 115 hours.
I actully prefer to take it through deep water with a passenger on board. When you go fast the rear fenders catch the water and bring it up into your passengers lap if the driver stands up. Except the wife did not appreciate it as much as others have.

Have a EPI on our 400, Dont know what you expect, ours has a little stall before locking in tight and pulls hard, but its not going to make it faster unless your old belt was slipping. It just keeps the belt tight and from slipping. We have 26" mudlites and it spins em hard. Thats what we wanted and its worked fine.

Jasmin,
Ya know they do make the 07TRV w/ the 650. Might want to consider upgrading. Thinking the 650 TRV will really pull.

Jasmin,
We haven't rode in the Leota, Baldwin area yet. Usually just break the law and ride manistee forest seasonal rodes, and power lines near our home.
We plan on riding in Baldwin this year.

hmmmm, I talked to the company this morning, She had no Idea whats going on she said I should really feel it take off... I thought so too. Afterall when we put them clutch kits in the Sleds, we fellt a HUGE difference. I know it wont be as good,,,,,but you should feel something.
She said to check the rings, and make surfe the belt aint wedged. So tonight I check it out, and then give her a call back tomorrow. Go from there...
thanx for the response

We have 25 inch tires/Stock...and we spin just like before..
I dont exspect more speed...just more pickup.... quicker pickup. And I guess from what the Lady said today my Quad should 100% be better on pick up now. specially sense we still have the 15 stock tires.
Beats me.......Guess jetting it is next...muffler... anyone got any Money they dont need

I would LOVE too...however... the AC is only 2 years old. And Hubby isnt ready to buy another one.
I wish they had bigger one when I bought this one. Oh well.... stuck with this one..... for 2 more year's.. then I get to buy a new one .
Then daughter is old enough to ride her own quad. BR>
I see youre from GR.. you ride up in leota, baldwin, gladwin?

Yeah thats the Kit, but Belt is fine.... but I will change it just to make sure ....
We have 500 miles on it.... we plow with it too.. so we will see maybe in time she will get better?
Oh well. carb kit is next... BR>
Tires I am not in a hurry for,,, have NO problems Plowing or mudden
Posted by: Jasmin

But the 05 does have Mudflaps anyway....
Posted by: Jasmin
Holy cow.... !!! that is scary!
I guess I never thought of that, however the TRV has some good fenders on her. And honestly, we dont have that much mud where we go .... its mostly water/Mud.... ya know the real soupy stuff. More wet then anything BR>
Hope youre little one was ok? And still rides with ya...
Posted by: Jasmin
oh uh,,,, dont ride that way thats BIG ticket!!!
Wife and kids? They ride?
Sj ,wow,,,,, poor Kid... Hope you got her a nice big ice cream!!! BR>
Yeah I like the water/Mud better too,, the hard stuff does hurt when it catches me. When I rode it first I kinda took the corner to tight and it "cut off" and about threw me off, caught my leg on the spikes <ouch> People keepd asking me wether Mike had hit me,,,, I was like NO, the kitty did ,,,,lol
They laughed after I told them,,,,,some of the Women are like" Why would you even want to play like that" rofl.. Women!
