Question:
Dear Motorhead:
Just wondering what maintenance we should be doing on our snowmobile before the season begins. Someone told us we have to lube our clutch. Is this true?
We have a 1995 and 2000 Arctic Cat Pantera touring sleds.

Thanks for your email!
First off – did you just purchase these two sleds? If so there may be more issues which need service than just the clutches!
In a word – yes! – you should have both the primary and secondary clutches removed, disassembled and cleaned every other season if your mileage is about 1500 a year.
With the age of these sleds and not knowing mileage on them you may want to look into servicing of the rear suspension skid – in particular a full greasing and include any moving parts on the the AWS front suspension as well.
Without more info it is difficult for me to offer much advice here.
