Anyone know if EBS can be disabled on a 2006 800efi. It is a little extreme. When going downhill I very rarely use brakes the wheels just lock up on their own and slide. I actually have to goose the throttle a little to get the wheels going again. I would rather just use the brakes. I think I would have better control. Any thoughts?

 

Primary and secondary clutches have to be changed to non-ebs clutches. Cost ya about $500

 

find someone that has none ebs and trade would be the cheapest wouldnt it..?

 

Your not going to find an 800 without ebs. Chances are your going to find someone with a 500 without ebs and then you'll have to change weights, springs, helix..etc

 

isnt the ebs just the primary clutch and the bushing to make it work? can that be removed and replaced w/ a standard bushing. just wondering.

 

The primary clutches are all together different..ebs vs. non-ebs. Mostly the inner sheeves. Also ebs secondary have flat springs and no spun tension. Non-ebs secondary has notched springs that insert 1 end into the helix and 1 into the inner sheeve. The inner sheeve is then turn 1/3 a turn to put tension to the clutch. All together different designs...

 

Just put a belt on it that doesn't have the grooves cut in it for the ebs. Like a scrammy 500 belt

 

If you lived closer I would swap you. Not sure if 800 and 500 would interchange since they use belts 0f different lengths...
