Done!

I am now using 1 setscrew on the key and it seems stable now - no sliding.

Last time I tried to upload photos to my photos here on the website, it didn't take. Have to figure it out. I'll check out that forum. I noticed my new HF Predator 6.5hp doesn't have that step on the shaft others are mentioning. I can slide a 3/4 inch washer all over it. no step.

What spacer? No spacer came with my Maxtorque 3/4" #35 clutch from OMBWharehouse. Am I supposed to order a spacer?

I repowered it with a hf predator 6.5 and brought it to Windber 2012. Had a blast on the trails! All kinds of power and I weigh 235lbs. BTW keep bottom half of shipping frame as itakes a very stable way to haul your Minibike. I just fold handlebars down and slide it in back of my Outlander...

I have a mbx10. I swapped out the rear bolts from the seat for longer Bolts and added a stiff 2 inch spring on each bolt. I put blue permatx thread lock on threads in seat so you don't lose the bolts when riding.

Ok I'll pick up a couple and try them... It just seems the holes are smaller than 8mm on new predators.

Hey Gumpit.. What size bolts fit in the 4 holes around the shaft on the hf 6.5 predator? I'm tying to mount a new clutch/ chain guard on my Motovox. They are smaller than 5/16 - 24 for sure.

I'm looking for these 4 bolts for the predator 6.5 212 cc as well. It seems they are some kind of metric M7 bolt. 5/16 24 UNF works on Hondas but not the new Predators. Have you fount the correct bolts for yours yet?

I believe I do need the one on the key . Without it, my clutch slides 1/2 inch to 1 inch on the shaft with just the key and end bolt. I do use the 2 small washers and lock washer setup before the fender washer.

Yep. Me Too...on my Predator, got the rear nut on and tightened with open end wrench. Also, I drilled out the holes in the header flange a bit to ease mounting.

Ok Thanks Jeep2003 for the setscrew info. BTW, How do you shim the clutch in the back? I have the washer between the bolt and shaft, but if you put a washer behind the clutch, what holds it in place?

Buckeye, On my Max Torque clutch, I have noticed some play between the clutch bell and the snap ring that holds it on. Is this normal? Or should I shim it somehow?

Ok. Good to know.. BTW Ace, Ogy, What in your opinion is a good Torque Wrench Ft/Lbs setting for that crank bolt? On a 3/4" shaft is 17 ft lbs sufficient? I read some 6.5hp Clone Specs said 30 ft lbs. Also do you need both setscrews or just the one on the Key? Don't like the idea of gouging...

Wow. Lots of good help here from you guys. Thanks!
