i dont beleave you can fix a grooved sheeve face, but you should be able to buy that sheeve side. most likely cheaper then buying a whole new clutch unless the labor is that much.

The problem with putting on one sheave face is that it could make the clutch out of ballance. The whole clutch needs to be ballanced as one unit or it could take out the crank or bearings or even both.

that might happen. the sheeve on the inside(towards the engine) is the one they usually drill to balance. don't know w/out looking it up if you buy sheeves per engine size or not. that is a good point, however i've seen a few just reaplce a clutch off one kind of bike and put it on another so who really knows for sure.

Balancing a clutch is as simple as taking it to a machine shop, as long as the have the fitting/attachment for the clutch!! Just like auto shop balancing tires. Maybe it's time a post a thread, that I can rebuild clutches!!

Wanted to see pics of how bad it looks. I think some places would rather put on new parts rather than fix them. That may not be the case here, i was just curious.
I use to work with a guy(he didn't work on polaris, but john deere products) and I saw him replace parts that would work with no trouble at all. He knew what he was doing, just replaced to many pieces in my opinion.

I plan on keeping the old one and I will definately send pics of the wear. I think just having a new clutch is the better, and more expensive way to go b/c with my luck as soon as I replaced just a piece of the clutch then another part would go out and then another and in the long run I would be replacing the whole thing anyway. This way I can hopefully forget about the primary for at least 800 miles!

Thanks for all the post guys! This website rocks!

I would aim higher than 800 milies. i've seen these clutches last for several thousands of miles. Can't wait to see the pics whenever you get a chance to post them(hopefully I don't miss the thread)
