550 is a single w/4 valves manufactured by long time Polaris partner Fugi like the current singles

It has to be a single so Polaris can say its a more powerful 500 Sportsman rather than a less powerful 600 Sportsman twin.

Thanks NoJoke. I love ATV **** like that. I want a 550 but not during the first year. And not when my new 500 is just getting it's break-in service done. Wow, they doubled the the rack capacity.

It says "NEW ROLLER CLUTCH" does this mean Polaris recognized the exploding font diff Plastic roller cage problem?

Not sure I like the idea of 14" rims on a Utility ATV,less side wall depth means rougher ride and easier for rim dinging.

Glad the old 5.25 gas tank is back.

Roller clutch refers to the Hawkeye type drive (primary) clutch.

right on sheepdog! It actually has a starter clutch to engage/disengage motion and a drive clutch where the belt is always tight...no more belt wear at idle and tends to eliminate a lot of the PVT lag! Works great in the 300/400 HO!

Where is this starter clutch located? I am looking at the parts breakdown,the primary and secondary clutches look very similar(weights and springs may be different) to the 08 style clutches. Now there is some parts in the tranny that are different that looks like it might could be some sort of clutch? Not really sure what is it or how it works.
