I just purchased a used 2005 Polaris Sportsman 700 with EFI. I rides nice other than at initial take off. There seems to be a delay when I hit the throttle. I am not sure if it is a belt problem or if it needs a clutch alignment.

Any help would be appreciated.

THANKS

 

WELCOME TO THE FORUM. YOU NEED TO FEEL IF ITS SLIPPING OR MISSING.IF ITS SLIPPING,THE ENGINE RPMS RAISE,IF ITS HESITATING,IT WOULD SLOW OR JERK,OR THERE WOULD BE A BLANK SPOT.....

 

Thanks for your quick response.

It doesn't seem to be a engine problem. At Idle the RPMs are around 1300 and as soon as I hit the throttle they go to 3000 but it doesn't take off right away. The engine speed itself goes up smoothly without hesitation but it doesnt move. I am guessing it is a belt problem but can use any help.

Thanks again.

After speaking with the original owner, he seems to think it needs a new clutch kit and recommended Dalton Clutch. Any idea where I can get the best bang for my buck?

It is a Polaris Sportman 700 Twin.

Thanks
