Hello,

I have a 1997 sportsman 500 and the clutch cover is cracked, does anyone know what models this would swap out with? I see several on ebay but none with my OEM part number.

Thanks!

 

Most all 4 stroke covers will work if you get the inner ond outer covers.But you can use the outer off of the 425 Magnums and 500s

 

On my 97 sportsman I used a clutch cover off a newer 500. They changed the material in the newer covers. All the bolts lined up the same in the new cover on my old backing plate but there was a couple extra holes in the new cover, so if you wanted to change the backing plate to it should work. I didnt, I just put the newer one on the same as my old one. I did have to get the newer snorkel for the newer cover though, and cut it off a bit, seemed to fit fine after i did that. The hole in the new cover is bigger so my old snorkel wouldn't work. I bought the newer cover and snorkel used for 50 bucks in great shape, alot cheaper than getting a new one from Polaris.

 

That is thew answer I was looking for

Thanks!
