  1. Thank You Gwbarm ... glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for the kind words about my machine, I appreciate it!! I'm lucky I get snow, because I love winter. Mud, not so much ... of course, we don't have a lot here anyway. And what we do have is alkali mud, which eats your machine, or the type that comes up in big clods & dries like cement. No fun to clean off the machine afterwards.

    Again, glad you enjoyed the video and I THANK YOU for watching it too!!

    its for a polaris sportsman but thanks for the recommendations 

     

    Sure thing. BTW, STM does have clutches for Polaris machines, but I didn't see anything for a 1999 year machine. I checked Dalton Clutch parts & didn't see anything for that year of machine there either. Hopefully you can still get parts for that year machine from the dealer & rebuild your clutch.

    Good Luck!!

  4. Hey Loudsubz Guy ... Not sure exactly what machine you're riding, but I have bought several complete aftermarket primary clutches for my Can-Am's. Both a 2011 800 & my 2014 1000 Outlander & have good luck. Except for the CVTech clutch. I can't recommend that one because I had issues with it on my machine. (Chewed up belts)

    I've had two models of QSC clutches as well as an STM primary. All were great clutches

    I've also rebuilt my factory primary (& secondary) and installed a Dalton Clutch kit, which I am currently running on my machine. I'm also running an STM Secondary Clutch.

    Rebuilding your clutch will be cheaper, not counting the tools, but a good aftermarket clutch is an awesome way to go IMO.

    One thing about East Lake axles thou. I tried one, the axle shaft was a smaller diameter than the factory axles & it was a little to long, which wouldn't let the brake hub tighten up, so I personally, wouldn't recommend that brand either. I've had good luck with Super ATV Rhino axles & have replaced both rear axles to that brand.

    going to a twist throttle is the single most dangerous thing you can do on a 4wh. unlike a dirt bike (and i've ridden both a lot) you need balance. having your hand on a twist throttle makes using it too dangerous to ride. standing up or sitting down and shifting your weight will increase the likelihood the 4wh will pull you back all the while your and is tightly gripping the twist throttle. when i went from db to 4wh i had the same thumb problem. except mine was worst because i lost part of my thumb in a log splitting machine (just the end). so i had the bright idea to go to the twist throttle. dumbest and most dangerous thing ever could do. couldn't control the bike. had to quit within a couple of hours. luckily close to the trailer. never met or saw anyone successfully using the twist on 4wh. please be careful and think it through.

     

    I totally disagree ... and you didn't need balance on a dirt bike? ... And I've seen guys shift their weight & lose it with a thumb throttle, so, it all depends on where your head is. I will say thou, there was a learning curve to riding an ATV with the twist throttle. I didn't just put one on & start ripping around. I had to "Practice & Learn" ... but if I can do it, anyone who wants a twist throttle can do it.

    I've had a twist throttle on my ATV's going on 35 yrs or more, starting with a Suzuki Quad Sport, to the Quad Sport after I slipped in a CR250 Honda motor into the frame, to a Banshee, a Grizzly, a Can-Am 800 & now a Can-Am 1000. Ridden all kinds of terrain from Moab, to mountains, over down logs, over big boulders, to desert, to snow. I love a twist throttle & would never go back to a thumb throttle.

    Now, having said that, I like a "Certain" type of twist throttle. The Dual-Gasser type that I mention in an above post.

    One reason you don't see a twist throttle on a snowmobile is because of ice. If snow gets down into the twist part of the throttle or if the snow melts & some of the liquid goes down into the cable itself & it freezes, you could have some problems. That's much likely to happen with a thumb throttle. And I put gauntlets over my handlebars in the winter plus have heated grips. So far, after 11 yrs of snow riding with tracks, I've never had my twist throttle freeze up.
