i feel comfortable with installing a clutch kit. i watched a couple of videos on YOUTUBE and feel pretty comfortable doing it myself. im mechanically inclined just need the proper tools! Im gonna order up the proper tools and give it a try ! wish me luck.

i appreciate the help guys!

Ram4Tow,
I am just doing the exact same. Ordered a 13.5:1 Head and a high flow intake as well as the tools to do the job. I am hearing very good things about this type of set up on the XP's.

Sounds awesome when are you going to be installing all of that stuff? who did you order all the part from?

let me know how it all goes!

Is there anyone that sells the kits around edmonton? About how long does it take if you order from djs site? I hope not a month or 2! LOL!

I started to edit the QRS video again but after the weekend my better 1/2 got in an accident.

Her family will be taking turns with me so when I am home I will continue to edit the QRS install and finally get the sucker done.

I will post on all the summit forums around the net.

....almost done, just have to put some music intro and add in the transitions with text.

I am not a Doo guy, but your commitment to your customers is amazing. Beyond creating, testing, calibrating these kits, you also throw out videos like that which is really cool. I wish there was an expert out there like you for Cat and Polaris!

[Dynamo^Joe]

If I had the time to do polaris, I certainly would now that Poo makes their own secondary clutch and took the team unit off.

There is a lot of room in that helix for me to play with I have no doubt that I could come up with something smashing to work with the Dalton's Quick Adjust Cam Arms.

What about Cat clutches?

[Dynamo^Joe]

No cat stuff. Too many clutch kit vendors out there that all copy each other and the probability of that happening is greater with the cat stuff than poo stuff. There are other manufacturers that are making cat helix's and right now far as I know dalton is only one on the Poo side - dalton protects my helix drawings and does not give out angles.

Funny how things change so quickly, I was just in there a couple of months ago talking up your kit and I quote!
Direct from the horses mouth.(Ya well, theres better kits out there) Well if there is better kits out there, what the hell are you doing stocking DJ kits!
I feel like going back there and telling him that he doesn't deserve to be carrying your kits. Save them for the people who appreciate the time and effort you have invested. I have no respect left for Specialty.
JOE, KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK BUDDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just did mine tonight first time ever taking apart a clutch. All I did was watch DJ videos and bought the QRS tool. I was to cheap to buy the primary spring compressor so I just put a big washer on the QRS tool and it worked for both the secondary and the primary! Took me an hour to do primary and an hour to do the secondary.

Call Ryan @ General Auto in Lamont AB.(780) 895-7446 40min East of Edmonton. He is a DJ's clutch kit dealer and also installs them. Can't beat his prices or service.

Yep, I know what has been said about the kits and me. I was shocked when I got the call.

One sells a team shaft/secondary/get the installation and you end up making a pretty little penny.
You sell a dynamo joe kit and you don't make enough that one would consider "why am i selling this kit"....the parts are expensive even in the bulk I get made, I just can't get the price down, they are fixed.

Specialty has got enough people coming into their shop now asking for the kit so I think they're just bending to customer questions.

There may be better kits out there but at least with mine its pretty good all around for elevations at sea level to 14000 feet is the record now. The calibration changes and that is what I am here for.
The details that I would like Ken to know is the comments written below and maybe he would give the kit a second chance. I don't know what he did in regarding to calibration that the kit did not perform to satisfaction. Maybe it wasn't the kit, rather the mechanical condition of the wear parts could have hindered it. This is what I always ask "what in the system could be poor that the sled is not responding well to the kit? and then we try to figure it out - which is why I try to educate the customer before they buy, therefore a "SUPPORT" tab with subjects of components to get the owner to make sure their sled will be up to snuff.
Also have an Advice page ...
*Kit works with any bbore/pipe/pipes/driver weight/track...etc, just have to calibrate with little tuning.
*I support after the sale.
*experienced theory guy to talk to
*experienced in engine management and troubleshooting
*give customer an education so they are confident in what they can do themselves.
*its not the kit; its engine management, mechanical fitness of clutch, choice of track, choice of suspension setting, wrong parts installed, helix installed wrong....the list goes on so you one calls me up and help troubleshoot.
*If a guy has trouble with a kit, I don't slam the phone on him, I rather have a remedy.

I am trying to make the kit better all the time.(ie lookit my new ramps) My clutch kit is customer driven.

One thing I learned over the years is...dont bash your competitor, just make a better product.

Anyone has the capacity to make/copy/steal/originate a clutch kit and if it works great...customers will come.
I don't know what else to say other than it brings me a bit of Joy that people are going to Specialty and asking of my kits.
