Default Polaris Sportsman 90 Stall

I just bought my step son a 2006 Polaris 90 and it seems to have way to much stall before the clutch engages. Can the spring be changed as with my Kawasaki KFX 700? Could it be some other issue? Loose belt, etc.

Thanks in Advance, dm

Welcome to the forums.
Springs will only make it worse.
Was it new or used (wondering if anyone has been into the clutch's)?

Used, but seems to be great shape otherwise. Once you load it, it seems to be fine. No slipping, etc. Is the nature of the beast? To keep it from running away in gear? I just don't like and believe it will get in trouble sooner or later. Should I just order a clutch and belt? Rebuild + belt?

Ahhh, running away at idle?? If so turn the idle down.
Stall is how high the motor revs before the clutch engages.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Sorry, you miss understood me or I didn't make myself clear. It's not running away at idle, and seems to be idling at good speed, but has to turn up approx. 200 rpm's before the clutch engages-- after that it's fine. My KFX 700 responds immediately to the throttle, but will sit still forever in gear. Is this machine capable of this?

You may want to maint. the front clutch to see if the rollers are flat.
I donno, it seems like it's normal or close to normal to me.
You mean 2000rpm's tho right?

LT80,

I know when I thought my sons 90cc was idiling to high it actually wasn't. What I preceived as a decent idel speed/sound was actually lower than what the recomended range. The only true way is to get a tach right? dumpmoyers this might be the same in your case.

Just my 2 cents
