Thinking about a clutch kit for my 2018 570SP. I put 26.5" pitbull growlers on the stock wheels before I ever rode it. I didn't know much about tire weight I just found a good deal on them and saw they had good reviews. It is definitely robbing some power from the machine. It doesn't feel as snotty as my 550XP was.

I will be using the atv for trail riding, ice fishing, working on my hunting land, and potentially plowing.

How does a clutch kit effect the machine? I know it will add some low end power. Will it take away high end?

Will it put less stress on the machine since I am running 35lb rear tires that actually measure 1" larger than stock, not half?

Are there different clutch set ups for machines that are ridden differently?

Why should I or shouldn't I clutch it?

What manufacturer is best?

Thanks and sorry if this is something that has been beaten into the ground. All I ever did with my XP was ride stock set up so I have a lot to learn.

I'm Cam, and just wanted to say G'day.

I've had a bit of a poke through the forum and it seems like you've got a lot of good ideas and info. Here in West Oz we have Polaris dealers who will service and sell the new and try to deter the old... sad really but thats the way of the world. So getting good info from a place like this is gold.

Yes I have a really old one (98 Scrambler 500 4x4), but when you rebuild you get to know your machine on a different level.

I've done a whole front end rebuild to the drive system, replacing all the U joints a CV, boots etc. The water pump shaft snapped so its now got an electric water pump (fingers crossed).

I'm still fitting it back together but will be back when i break something and need answers.

Me and my buddy went out riding a creak and well I got a little deep... my buddy finally gets out of his hole and hooks up to me to pull me out and gives me a good tug and then all of suddent my atv starts to sputter out and it dies.... So we get it out and towed it home. Drained the water out of clutch and air box and found why it dies the air filter had fallen off. So we put it back on after cleaning it and changed the oil and checked rest of the fluids and started it up and it had this code on 0 84 2 can't seem to find what this code means.

OK this might be more assurance than assistance but here goes. Anyway I'm still looking for a set of turf/road tires for my dad's 99 sportsman 500. the rims currently on it are 10x8 and 12x6 respectively and both are 25" tall tires. Anyway I was looking for tires and realized tires and rims are the way to go but the local polaris dealer has me confused when i called about take off's. Can newer rims fit on there I have been told the bolt size changes but the 4x156 is the same. I found a set someone is getting rid of off a sportsman 600 that uses front and back 25x11x12 and 25x8x12 respectively and was curious if those would fit ok or just stick with original? Sorry for probably such a simple question hopefully someone can help.

I am installing a superwinch 3000 on my 2015 Can Am commander 1000.
Alot of the wiring is already there. Does it already have a Circuit breaker on it? I know its already wired and has the cable going to the battery to just behind the radiator. The Super winch came with a circuit breaker, can I skip that or do I need to install that? Also any ideas on where you mount it? Any hints on what bolts to use or ideas would be appreciated 2) Any hints on Mounting the Solenoid? I see where You can bolt right behind the front passenger wheel, What kind of nuts and bolts did you get? 3) do you have to cut off the ends on the prewired wires to attach to the solenoid?

In the next few months I plan to get a new set of wheels/tires for my Renegade. I'm torn on 26x9 and 26x11 all around great tires like BigHorn's on 14" wheels or a set of 27" mud tires/wheels I can swap onto my machine when I will be riding in muddier conditions. I ride all types of terrain from hard pack trails, sand, rocky terrain and some mud.

What would you guys suggest for a set of mud tires? I don't want this to be a dedicated mud machine so I don't want to clutch it for that purpose. Can I run 27's safely? 28's I'd imagine are too big and I'd need to at least put a clutch kit in. I just don't want to bother as I don't plan to ride in the mud all the time. What would you suggest for a good mud tire setup? Ideally they'd be very good in the mud and also decent on the trail.

I haven't ridden on BigHorn's so not sure how good they are in the mud or how heavy they are. I know muds are a lot heavier. Maybe 27" BigHorn's? I'm open to suggestions.

Got an 06 polaris scrambler 500 4x4. So far I have changed oil, oil filter, tranny fluid(by accident), balljoint, rear bearings! A few days later My chain broke, and was cracked an stretched in a few spots, front sprocket shot, and my fresh rear bearings toast! Bought a new chain(Oring) and sprockets, haven't gotten new bearings yet, but I started to do the front sprocket, removed snap clip took out old sprocket and the plastic "case saver" was worn! STUCK! Tomorrow gonna try to get a new one, then will finish the rear end! If anybody has any hints or tips that may be useful please chime in with any useful advice! Thanks!
