When it comes to running larger tires on a Can-Am X3 with stock clutching, there are a few factors to consider. Firstly, the diameter and width of the tires can affect the gear ratio and clutch engagement, impacting overall performance.
While the stock clutching setup is optimized for the factory tire size, which is usually up to 30-32 inches in diameter, some riders have successfully run slightly larger tires without experiencing significant issues. However, going too big can result in decreased acceleration, reduced top speed, belt slip, and added strain on the clutch system.
If you're planning to upgrade to bigger tires, it's best to also invest in a clutch kit specifically designed for larger tire sizes. This will help maintain optimal performance by adjusting the clutch engagement and gear ratio to accommodate the larger tires.
