RPM Can-Am X3 TITANIUM Clutch Bolt & Washer / OEM # 420841161 & 420245690

Can-Am X3 TITANIUM Clutch Bolt & Washer

Lock down your primary clutch with aerospace-grade strength and eliminate factory hardware stretch with RPM’s Grade 5 Titanium Primary Clutch Bolt! Precision-engineered as a direct, high-strength replacement for factory OEM steel hardware (OEM Parts #420841161 and #420245690), this M14 x 165mm bolt secures the primary clutch assembly to the crankshaft taper across all Can-Am Maverick X3 and Defender HD10 platforms.

Precision-machined from ultra-durable Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) Titanium, this primary clutch bolt withstands severe rotational harmonics, high-RPM shock loads, and aggressive clutch engagement without yielding, shearing, or galling. Upgrading to titanium sheds rotating mass from the crankshaft center while providing complete immunity to corrosion, rust, and thread seizure inside the clutch cavity.

Technical Specifications & Installation Guidelines:

• Material: Aerospace Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V)

• Thread / Dimensions: M14 x 165mm Primary Clutch Bolt

• Direct OEM Hardware Replacement: Replaces Can-Am / BRP OEM #420841161 & #420245690

• Threadlocker Requirement: Blue Medium-Strength Threadlocker required on threads during installation

⚠️ TORQUE & INSTALLATION CAUTION:

• Torque Reduction Rule: When replacing factory steel hardware with Grade 5 Titanium, reduce the manufacturer's specified torque rating by 10% to 15% to prevent thread fatigue and achieve the proper clamping load.

• Threadlocker: Always apply a small drop of Blue Medium-Strength Loctite to clean threads prior to installation to ensure reliable retention against high-RPM crankshaft harmonics and vibration.

Features:

• Grade 5 Titanium Construction: Delivers exceptional tensile yield strength and durability while completely eliminating rust, oxidation, and hardware seizure.

• Prevents Fastener Stretch & Clutch Slip: Superior material yield strength maintains steady, reliable clamping force on the crankshaft taper under heavy turbo boost and aggressive backshifting.

• Reduces Rotating Mass: Lighter than factory steel hardware to reduce rotational inertia at the crankshaft snout.

• Direct OEM Hardware Drop-In: Precision-machined to exact factory length, shoulder, and thread pitch for seamless installation into factory and aftermarket clutches.

• Full Primary Clutch Compatibility: Engineered to fit both early-generation Maverick X3 clutches as well as the updated factory pDrive primary clutch systems.
