Has anyone here put a aftermarket clutch kit on their 04.5 500HO and if so what kind of results if any have you experienced? Thanks

 

from everything I hear the heelclicker is the kit to get for the Sportsmans!!! Pretty easy install with alot of gains. Just don't expect your top end speed to change much

I just installed a hot seat performance hypershift kit in my 04 500ho-I think I'll be taking it out very soon-definitely not what I wanted-the gut that sold me the kit said it was for low end and mid range performance--the bottom end power out of the hole is
terrible! this thing is really a pig off the line--it did however improve the mid range-it runs better from about 10-40 mph., the machine is alot smoother and the engine braking is 10 times smoother-but the hole shots suck. I should have went with the
dalton big tire kit or heelclicker kit.
does anybody else have suggestions?
Excellent forum-got lots of info from everyone when looking for a sportsman

 

Guys with these stock engines all you really need is a White polaris primary spring and maybe a Blue Aaen secondary(optional) no need for big bucks.

 

ftwflh,

I'm new to ATVing what exactly are these options and where can I find more info?

Thanks

 

I like the Erlandson (EPI) kits, especially the black secondary for big tires. It really puts the power down and minimizes belt slip.

 

Just getyou a White Polaris primary spring to start with then after you see what that does for you get a secondary spring and see what it does.This is the best way to see what is going on.

 

ftwflh, can you tell me if the epi red is the same as the polaris white,I think I remember reading that on another thread because Ihave one of those and might give it a try ,I also have a aaen blue do you think it would be worth my while putting it in as well .thanks

 

They are the same.I have a set of EPI springs red primary purple secondary.If you are intersested pm me for price.

 

I disagree, while a spring swap alone will change your engagement point and maybe get you off the line faster, A Kit with added weights will grip the belt better and capture alot of lost torque that comes from a slipping belt.
