o4 sportsman 400 i had my secondary clutch apart to set it to 1/1 and noticed that the buttons were very worn kindof burnt in this normal at 1300 miles . should i replace w/ polaris or does a aftermarket company make better ones..also would puting a differnt spring in do any thing thanks

 

I replaced my buttons about a month ago. I think I set mine on 1-2 ? someone here posted what the different settings were ,but I forgot. Mabe he can post those settings again. As for stock of after marked .I was advised to go with stock. I couldn't find any after market anyway. Mine went with about 40-50 hrs on the meter.

 

dennise kirk sells aftermarket buttons in there snowmobile mag.there the same as the atv.

 

How do you know if they are worn?..Do they start making a high pich noise like the sleds do?....Caper....

Mine started shifting differently. If I was in low & wind the motor up it would appear to shift inot a higher gear. My buttons were bad .I had to buy a new ramp as it started to wear with the buttons gone.

 

that will happen if you do not catch it in time.the ramp you speak of is called a helix and comes in different angels of degrees for your performance preference.

 

I didn't know you could buy different degrees. Ihave heard it called a helix polaris (I think ) calls it a ramp in the parts book.

Do you know the different settings for the rear clutch ? When I was working on mine someone posted the settings & I don't know who it was.m or how to look it up

 

the book suggest 1 & 2 holes what the settings do is affect your upshift and backshift of your secondary clutch (the rear clutch)

 

hey thanks ,thats what i wanted to hear.....have you tried a clutch kit yet ,,,hopeing to find someone that has a 400 w/ a clutch kit.... i am note to sure if it will do anything being a single cyl 4 stroke w/ a carb... but looking forward to a good review so i can make the upgrade
