Let us know what clutch you go with and any noticeable gains in performance that you get from it. I just installed a set of Bighorn 2.0 tires on my 2011 sportsman 550 eps, but i have not been able to go riding yet to try them out, to much ice and snow on the roads here. Even though there a 26'' tire they measure closer to 27'', so im interested in what gains you might get from a new clutch kit.

Awesome...GREAT to hear! Yes...that is a NICE problem to have. Make sure to take pics when you do get them dirty.

How easy / difficult was the spring install? Take long to complete?

So was it a matter of just changing a spring, or are there other parts that you change as well ?.

Great to hear you are happy with the EPI Clutch kit.

Ghost Rider - EPI kit changes the primary spring, weights, secondary spring and helix on the 550 kits.

I did not install the clutch one of my buddy's at the dealer did...The only thing I know is it took about 2 hours and there is a couple of speical tools needed...Not saying it takes 2 hours only that he had it for 2 hours....
