hey i have an 06 sportsman 450 and the clutch isn't grabbing as soon as i would like it to. is there a way to adjust it

 

There are lots of clutch mods available, especially springs and weights. Most people would rather have the clutch engage at higher RPMs than lower, because when it barely engages at low RPMs, it heats everything up and breaks the belt.

 

is there a bolt or something you can tightern or loosen to adjust it. or do you have to replace the springs

 

there is no adjustment on the 06' sportsman 450. the clutch should be engaging around17 to 1800 if i remember right. another spring might change the rpm higher or lower(not recommened)if you like, but that only makes it rev higher before the engaging takes place. check to make sure your belt is sitting up about 1/8" above the secondary clutch and that its not burnt the belt.
