get a hold of Ridinagain and get yourself a QSC clutch kit. Only a few hundred bucks. Very well reviewed and tested on this site.

12 850 with 28's is going to get weights and both primary and secondary springs. $239 shipped to the beautiful north land of Canada, In stock and ready to ship. Give me a call 651-707-6706 and we can get your needs met and do a CC over the phone. Or PM me and I can send an invoice via Paypal.

Thanks for the recommendation InRBigness

Does Polaris make other springs and weights for the clutches or just aftermarket? Or can you use snowmobile parts?

Polaris does make different springs/weights but I think there are more options and customization with aftermarket companies like QSC an epi.

Polaris has very limited weight options for the Sportsman XP line as far as the original style. They have a bunch of other styles of weights and different springs that will fit in the clutches, but you will be guessing what to use and what will work. You could spend many hundreds of dollars trying to get it right, and will need a test machine to run against to compare changes. Or even better, a dyno. IMO it's just not worth the time, effort, or $$$$$ when someone else has already done it all for you.

Ridinagain:
Of course you are correct, but then again, you don't learn much that way.
Does Polaris have a spring chart for the ATV/UTV clutches like is in the snowmobile manuals?

 

[RVS Performance]

Not that I've seen. I'd like one myself.

 

[bgirard420]

Polaris is all about keeping their OEM stuff a mystery. Like the magic 2w-50 oil. Not 0w or 5w, magic 2w lol. They finally went over to 5w last year.

Their secret belts were discovered last year too. Now you can buy a gates belt for half the price.

One day their spring chart will be discovered

If I had a bunch of them, I could test them in the spring tester, but I'm not willing to drop $1500 on springs to make the numbers for everyone else to use. LOL

Hey, ridinagain what do you recommend for a stock 2009 850XP with stock height tires? I would like to get rid of the irritating slack before take off especially in reverse. Any added performance would be a bonus.

 

[jfn2]

And, Ridinagain, you would not be expected too. But a manufacturer would be and I'm sure has. It just has to be found. Someone knows.

The standard QSC kit for 26" tires will work perfect for you. $239 shipped, in stock and can be in the mail tomorrow morning if you want. Easiest to call me. 651-707-6706

I have a 2013 sp500 I would like a little more low end and not so fast on the top will new springs help this or what do I need to do?

 

[RVS Performance]

The standard trail setup from qsc will give you stronger bottom end and mid range and typically has almost no top end loss.

 

[catlherdr]

Where can I get one and do you know what the price is

 

[RVS Performance]

From me, I'm a dealer for qsc. Retail on them is $219 plus shipping. Pm me for offering details If you like.

Another +1 from QSC from me. After I added my 27's, I felt a huge loss in my 850. Put installed the qsc clutch, 2000 rpm engagement, and now its a wheelie machine in high.
