Good To Know

Q: Will this clutch bolt directly onto my Polaris Sportsman 500? A: It is designed as a direct-fit primary clutch for Sportsman 500 and 500 HO models within the listed year range. Confirm your model year and serial range before ordering.

Q: Do I need a new drive belt with a new clutch? A: Replacing the drive belt alongside the clutch is common practice since a worn belt can shorten new clutch life. Inspect belt width and condition as part of the job.
