well guys i had a friend that rode one before at top speeds on the rode ( turns ) and he said it was so i was just going with what he said the only time i ran one was only in the woods for liek 20 mins

 

DG Polaris, Yep remove the nut gain a few MPH. This will let the clutch shift all the way out. Don't think for a minute that I discovered this, I didn't. The guy from Dalton Inds. told me this. They do extensive testing on the kits and found this to be true. For an example to a serch on 600/700 sp. There was a guy stating that the motor was reving but would not go over 45-50. As it turns out the nut loosed up, thus limiting the shift-out.

 

do the 500s have this plastic nut on the primary too?

 

All Polaris with EBS have the limiter nut, just be warned that removing the nut allows the belt to be forced all the way to the bottom of the secondary clutch which will cause belt failure.

 

No, not the one on the bolt that holds the primary to the crank. It's part number 8 on this link I posted. It's only on the EBS models.

 

Fish,
Thanks for clarifying that. That could have resulted in a few nasty responses for us.
BTW, I have had my nut of since Aug, when I installed the new Dalton clutch spring, and I have not seen any extra wear on the belt. I haven't been to kind on it at all this winter pulling 1500lbs trailers as well as WOT doughnuts on the ice. Seems like it has no effect but positive.

 

Mine is non ebs can i still do this?

 

DG,
I don't think so, just because you probably do not have the white nut on the primary. I know my 98 Scrambler 500 didn't have one. Your best bet is just to put on a new clutch kit with a new spings, weights and helix.

 

ok I'm glad i asked that before i went removing things. Thanks
