2014 or 2015 service manual?

So I just downloaded a Factory service manual for my 2015 Sportsman EPS. The listing showed it was for both 2014 & 2015. After the download I noticed the Manual cover just says 2014? Does anyone know if 2014 and 2015 are identical or should I find a 2015 specifically? Thanks!

I need schooling on clutches

OK so I don't know much about these clutches but I know I don't like the way it's set up now. First let me tell you what I'm running now. It's a 13 650 XT, Outlander with 27 inch Big Horn 2.0's. I'm also using it to push a snowblower during the winter season. My problem is that it is extremely hard to run at the low speeds that I want (1-3 mph). I have already removed the springs and cups from the one way bearing which really didn't help much, I also use the grey key when pushing snow. It's also no secret that I hate the engine brake and would love to see it gone, I have 5000 miles on it and the brakes look like new (would rather use the brakes once in a while). What do I need to change to make this thing more usable for my situation? I would like it to act more like my Yamaha with a wet clutch, if it was a 4X4 I would be using that one but don't think it would work well with only 2 wheel drive.

front Differential leak?

So I have a 2015 Sportsman 570 EPS that I just bought this last summer. I've never really used the 4x4 until recently while plowing the driveways. After the plowing I parked it on the concrete floor in my pole barn, and a few days later I discover the front Diff seems to be leaking? Is there a common problem with bad seals or anything like that on these machines? I haven't had a chance to really look at it yet, but I thought I'd ask first before I dig into it! Thanks

Cluster swap with RZR

Has anyone ever swapped out their speedo with a RZR one? I have heard that they are plug and play. I know the RZR shows your DC volts for the battery and engine temp which mine currently does not. Any input would be great, thanks!

08 800 Touring AWD Issue

My 08 800 touring had some issues this weekend in the snow with the front AWD engaging/disengaging. It work work properly until I was really on the gas going uphill in the snow. (No bouncing or tree roots.) I do have 25" STI rocktanes on. It would make a thunk thunk thunk like a clutch was trying to engage and you could see the front tires not turning. I would stop, slowly get on the gas again, and away I'd do for a bit and it would start again. If I was light on the throttle it would be fine. Downhill and reverse I had no issues all day.

After reading some threads and searching, I thought maybe I had the common cage / armature plate issue. Wanted to see what others thought before I tore it down and ordered parts. It does have fresh Polaris demand drive fluid in it. Had no problems in the mud this fall with throttle usage in AWD. Was wheeling with a 2012 500XP and that drive train didnt have an issue.

The pod indicator had the awd shown the whole time, so Im thinking the cage was slipping under higher throttle? Time for an aluminum cage? Thoughts?

Thanks for your time!
