I was wondering what other machines did yamaha use the vmax clutch on SRV, Phazer, etc. My buddy owns a junk yard full of Yamaha's and I was hoping to get a clutch for my Vmax.

If you can find a clutch that looks like this it will work

its off a phazer and srv and others it is not the right one but will work you just have to mess around abit with springs and weights . Polaris p 85 will work as well but again the clutch needs to be set up properly to get the performance desired!!! A stock phaser or srv will run your sled decently at least enough to get out for a ride anyways!!!

The Phazer & SRV YPZ clutches have a lip on the back side of the fixed sleeve that fits into the seal of the gear drive for the oil pump assembly in which the Vmax 540 does not.

Vmax-4 Clutch

I use a Vmax-4 clutch, it has a offset hub that moves it away from the sheet metal. A Polaris Belt and make sure you back cut the helix 0.90 to allow for the wider belt and more shift. I set the secondary offset at 10 - 11 mm.

Those Yamaha/ Comet clutches IMO are the achillies heel of these sleds. They work well when new but are very hard on rollers.
