Has anyone checked the taper on the new clutch? Will it fit a Suzuki?

Yes, and it works really well. We have a update kit for them. I will get it on the website soon.
Same 83 or 84 belts?
NO it is a different belt. 0627-111. I received my new clutch and belt today. I will have it on for the weekend. I am not sure if i will get to ride it thou.
Will my weights and springs work? I currently have your billet weights, springs and helix per your recommendations for my 16 turbo. Would you simply check/adjust alignment and pull the deflection adjustment bolt out of the secondary?
I was able to transfer my spring and weights from the old primary to the updated one. I hope to get some miles on it today.
I was able to get out and put a few miles on it. WOW is all I can say. My clutch on my 16 has been wrong since day one! I do get a little squeal at times. I hope it goes away as the belt breaks in.
The aligment is different then the 17 and older. Did a dealer put the 18 clutch on? Squeal might be miss alignment.
I put it on. My dealer is 8 hours away. I will have to get an alignment bar for it and check it. Thanks

Does the new 18 clutch use the same puller as the 16-17?

I believe so.
the weights only fit 15 and back or 16 and up.

Popped a set on my '17 Mountain Cat to try. Works really well. Lower engagement is super nice. I used the stock 18 spring and weights. To get the full benefit a bit more playing with set up is required.
hows the ol zuke pullin the lower engagement? i feel like my 17 engages plenty low already. any other reasons to do this update besides engagement? Is this the answer to the motor staying engaged on descents and winding high? I think i had my deflection way too tight the day i experienced that badly. although i like it on the shorter drops.
my short ride on an 18 i dont remember if it was doing it.

The engagement wasn't much lower. About 100rpm, the sled pulls it no problem. I was tight on time and just wanted to try the set up . I leftthe stock 70g weights in. It would work much better with the 68's. It is interesting to ride the 17 with the setup, shows that the 18 engine is way way stronger at low and midrange. Because of the way the primary is shimmed and the engagement point of the weights it does allow the sled to pull smoother lower in the rpm range. In my opinion the cost vs performance isn't worth it to switch. If you damaged your stock clutch it would be a no brainer to switch the primary and belt. My 2cents.
Yes clutching components work the same. And yes just pull the belt deflection adjuster out.
