I ordered a secondary spring from Rick Ritter this week for my Magnum 500. He sent me a lavender one to try.
I got a surprise when I went into the Driven clutch assembly. It is a ROLLER clutch and a big one at that. Much beefier than any aftermarket setup I have ever seen. Anyone else run into this? How long have they been standard on the Magnum? I thought I was up on all this stuff but this surprised me.
Needless to say I've got to send Rick the spring back because the spring in the roller is diffrent than the button style clutch. Hopefully he has access to the springs for the roller setup.

 

I believe the trnsition came with EBS.

The 01HO uses a white/yellow, and EPI does NOT change it! This spring works very well.

 

i thought that a roller clutch and EBS were different things. i would think the sportsman would have the same clutches as the magnum. according to jack shultz the roller is much better than stock???hummm wonder if he found out the same thing as kagey? i think most of the people that have put roller clutches on a polaris were on scramblers rather that utilitys. and scramblers dont have EBS.

First time I heard that about stock machines. It is hard to believe. I had to add it to my Scrambler... All I know is with EBS it can not have a roller clutch, according to Jack on these forums...

 

I have heard (and even tried) using different primary springs. What is the effect of changing the secondary spring? Just curious.

All I know, is the 01 HO has a roller secondary, a white yellow spring, and has NO tension setting. The only tension is belt side load on this animal!
