I bought my wife a SP500 and didnt realize that it didnt have EBS. Big mistake IMO because we ride in the mountains. I really screwed up.

My wife is a rookie rider and the last thing I want her to do is get hurt. Can EBS be added by the dealer? Its an option so I would think its possible? Isnt it just a clutching change?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

yes it can be added very easely to it

 

Had it added to our 400s.

 

my dealer just told me that on new bikes they swap them out for like $150.00 but not sure. i want to put the ebs on the wifes 450 but not sure how much the kit cost. you guys that did it what was the cost if you dont mind telling us?

you don't have to buy the ebs kit which cost about 500.00,,all you have to do is change the spring setting in your secondary cluch,if you notice you have ebs until you are going real slow,then it starts to free wheel,if you give it a little gas and let off it kicks back in until you slow down,polaris don't want you to know about this,they want you to buy the ebs kit...........

 

We paid $99 when they were still new at the dealer. (Before we took delivery)

 

wonder if they offer a aftermarket kit. is the kit just a replacement clutches. pretty expensive for 500.00 the only thing about changing the spring postion, is that is effects the top end or take off.

 

bigbuck site has them for $503. (wow) on there web page. way to much money to change them out.

 

check ebay theres a guy on there that buys machines and parts them out he gives gaurantees and exchanges might be worth a look

 

As an update ...

I did have EBS added to my wifes SP500. She loves how it handles now in the mountains and not any time too soon ... we are attending the Rocky Mountain ATV Jamboree next week in Utah. She will be much happier now decending steeper mountain grades and I will feel alot better knowing that she will have more control now. Thanks to all who chimed in.
