Agreed. Why the design change? The old "press the clutch onto the shaft" ZRT's worked just fine. What genius decided to change it? And to what benefit?
Because it is a Yamaha motor cycle engine. The clutch is pressed on but there is a splined adaptor hooked to the tapered shaft for the clutch. I hope textron tells Yamaha to go away on that sled. It is a pos imo.

We haven't warrantied one yet. It's a real shame that the primary bolt only threads into the tapered stub instead of the crank itself. That would more than likely keep this from happening.

I'll have to have our SM check into a warranty process and see what yamahahahaha has to say about it. (Don't hold your breath)
The one we put on dvw 15000 mile 7000 did little to nothing for noise improvement. You will love this sled when you have to pull the motor to adjust the valves.
