How to Lubricate a Clutch on a Ski Doo
The Ski-Doo is a snowmobile, manufactured by the BRP company, and designed to travel and operate on snow or ice where no trail or road is available. It has skis placed at the front for control, and can accommodate one or two passengers, similar to an all-terrain vehicle. After consistent use, your Ski-Doo's clutches may accumulate grime and dirt that can cause the engine to run more slowly and create a popping noise. Cleaning the clutches, as well as lubricating them, can ensure a smoother ride.

Spray the clutch and the clutch units with dry lubricator spray. Coat them evenly. Do not use any oil or grease, as this can damage other parts or cause them not to work properly. Replace the belt onto the Ski-Doo, close the clutch cover, and replace the hood to its original position.
