Bigger tires killed my low end torque..suggestions?
I have a '08 Sportsman 300, same as the Hawkeye, and it came stock with 22" tires. I recently installed 23" tires and my low end torque decreased dramatically. I expected a little decrease, but its really noticeable. I checked if they make an aftermarket clutch kit for this model, but they do not. What else can help me increase low-end torque? Exhaust?

You can probably make your own "kit" by checking what style weights are used in your primary clutch, and see if you can find matching ones in a lighter weight, or find a primary spring one or two steps stiffer than your factory one. Same with the secondary, find the specs on it, and see if there is one with slightly higher compression/weight settings and go from there. I dont know if the quad clutches are the same as the sled ones, are there multiple holes on your secondary? you can use those to tune your secondary a bit before changing springs. Never messed with a Polaris quad clutch, but have done a bit with Polaris sleds,if they are similar, should be pretty easy to tune it to your needs. Check with Aaen performance and see if they have any recommendations, even if no pre made kit is available, you should be able to swap out springs and weights to get what you want.
Dang, just saw OPT post the clutch isnt the same...so I guess my idea is pretty useless.......

it's a sportsman, not a sport quad-
no sprockets
the best way to increase the power of a 300 is to buy a 500
