my 06 Trail Boss has EBS on it at least i think so
i let off the gas and the engine kicks in and it slows down
now my question is
when i first got it the engine slowed me down quick like no drifting at all and it was not very loud
now it seems like it is alot louder and not as effiecent at slowing down
is this normal? also i have a rattaling comeing from somewere when i first start to move. not sure what it is

 

Trail Boss is not equipped with EBS. As long as the engine is above clutch engagement speed you will have some engine braking. EBS clutch systems have a one way clutch within a clutch that keeps the belt engaged all the way to idle. Hard to explain in type. But it is a very easy system to understand once you see it.
Using your throttle and brake together the Polaris awd system whether EBS or standard works very well. You just have to have a basic understanding of how it works. Practice makes perfect also.

 

it says the EBS is an opton but i think it has it my brothers trail blazer does not do the samething
my trail boss does not drift on its own

 

if it had ebs when you let off the throttle say like 15 mph it will realy slow down fast. like charlie said even w/out the ebs like on my wifes sp. 450 the engine like all things will slow you down a little just from the normal decellation of the engine. the t. blazer doesnt have it either. the rattling could be coming from the clutch. pull off the cover and take a look and you also can see if you r bike is ebs or not.

 

well i probab;y will co it friday when i have off were is the primary spring located and how hard is it to replace with the pink one

 

The slow down you experience when you let off the throttle is not because of EBS but because you’re CVT system is still engaged. Both EBS an non EBS systems do this until the rpm’s get low enough to let the primary spring open up the sheave faces release the belt. Once this happens non EBS systems free wheel because the belt slips between the sheave faces and smooth inner clutch shaft.

On a EBS system once the belt is released it drops into a grooved inner shaft that has a Hilliard one way locking system and the engine is engaged and will give you engine breaking again.

This is a simple version of how it works

 

By the way ..........your belt is shot

 

yea and if you keep your idle up a little when slowing down it will keep your clutch engauged enough to act like the ebs a little. not much differnce between my 800 and the wifes 450 until you get down to around 15,20 mph. just take the cover off and see for your self and you'll also see the primary (front clutch) and you can carefully pull the cover off and replace the spring if you want.

 

i've seen my old trail boss 250 clutch what does an EBS clutch look like and would a 2006 trail boss clutch look the same as the old 86 250

 

why do you say my belt is shot????
