Polaris sportsman 570 EPI clutch kit review

[@Mr.majic_cracker]

I had the same battery issue. Changed it. FIXED!

[@OGBB33]

cool video. I also installed an EPI clutch kit on my 2000 Polaris 500 and it really woke this ATV up. Throttle response is better, it engages faster, and it turns my 27"swamp lites just fine. I ended up installing the mudder spring (orange) instead of the red spring. I bought the primary and secondary clutch removal tools and even the spider tool remover. I built my own fixture to take sheaves apart. I also replaced stock belt with heavy duty cvt belt. DIY so much cheaper than going to dealer shop. I found everything on e bay and amazon. :)

[@DualSportGuy]

I hear ya diy is the way to go. Saves a lot of money for more upgrades.

[@tittledieselperformance]

OG BB got a video driving? I just picked up a 01 500 and I'm considering using a clutch kit

[@OGBB33]

I do have several gopro videos but locating them will be a challenge. They were on my old computer. The clutch kit helped that delay the throttle had from idle.

[@DualSportGuy]

OG BB diy is the way to good, if you don't mind trying. Ride hard man

[@DualSportGuy]

Home Built clutch kit is a great bang for your buck, if you are running over sized tires.

[@Cops-R-Bad]

If your looking to always go 50-60 mph, don’t buy this kit. If you want to pull wheelies in high gear from a full stop….buy this kit.

[@shawncrandall696]

I hate that clunking noise drives me nuts!!! Come to find out, everyone told me it's the belt. Now I believe it. Just like you said it stopped doing it, for the most.

[@JuhaErkkila]

Thanks for your explanations! :) Really informative showing actually the results/difference.

[@DualSportGuy]

Juha Erkkila thank you if you have any questions about it, I'd be more then happy to answer them.

[@chuckstubblefield5998]

Just to let everyone know, you dont have to pull the primary clutch off to the change the weights or spring. Save time and money by leaving primary clutch on. Simple simple simple. Clutch pullers are for companies to make money, simple as that........ God bless

[@DualSportGuy]

chuck stubblefield Thanks for the info that's a good thing to know

[@ogmudder6839]

Get a battery for a 700-800,325-350 CCA.I run mad lights,2500 pd winch and boom box with amp never had a problem starting even in coldest weather

[@DualSportGuy]

Og Mudder I'll have to check it out I replaced mine 2 years ago

[@TommyPickles86]

My 570 has the same issues starting.

[@Cops-R-Bad]

I love the result…more snappy, yes…you lose some smoothness. Isn’t that the point?

[@Velquok]

Thanks for the nice review! I'm thinking about getting the EPI Clutch Kit for my 570. Did the clutch kit lower the top speed?

[@DualSportGuy]

Not really with my ITP MUD LITES I was still running around 55 MPH on the highway

[@MegaDpenner]

Ya bought a 2017 and battery was low when i took it. Guy just says you got a trickle charger right? First thing i did was get a battery tender but i noticed it doesnt hokd a charge long. Oh well ill buy a better one. Still like this quad. Was a really good deal.

[@nicholasmapes]

Sportsman stock battery stinks, get an aftermarket juice box and it will be much better.

[@bwfreel]

Yep their batteries can test ok but still be bad, but I should have done what you did and replace it with a off brand

[@DualSportGuy]

I’ve had this autozone battery, for two and a half years now with no problem.

[@williammcclintock9895]

my had same starting issue put in a ETX15L battery with 220 cranking ampe and added a second ground from battery to frame starts like it should now

[@DualSportGuy]

William Mcclintock I a new duralast in no problems now

[@nombr]

Good video! Do you happen to have a link for that video epi put out?

[@nombr]

Nvm found the one for 14/15s lol

[@BillyBlaze7]

If yours is anything like mine the Polaris dealer didn't charge the damn battery till I was there to pick up my machine, they knew I was coming but didn't charge my battery a full 24 hours like they were supposed to. That made my battery extremely weak, I will be replacing that battery next week lol I hate Polaris, crappy business practices, customer support, crap aftermarket products etc etc etc. I wish I had went with an Arctic Cat Wildcat trail

[@auxillianwarghost5123]

Seriously? Arctic Cat?

[@DanielMartinez-oz7xd]

Bro same fucking thing here!!!!

[@shawncrandall696]

Hey ther, another question. How many spring are supposed to come in these kit. 3 ?

[@DualSportGuy]

Emily Crandall Just the 3 springs

[@haus05]

change your battery and get a quad logic battery relocate kit as well

[@curtisvanbelois2123]

How do you like the battery relocate kit

[@haus05]

Curtis Vanbelois I don’t have one yet ... got recalled to work so I didn’t order one but believe me I for sure will ! Why Polaris put the battery in such a stupid spot is beyond me lol it’s almost impossible to access for charging etc

[@curtisvanbelois2123]

@@haus05oh I know is quadlogic legit? I paid 130 for the kit

[@haus05]

Curtis Vanbelois yeah they are legit lol they sell some awesome parts and mods !

[@curtisvanbelois2123]

@@haus05 I know I'm like a kid in a candy store on the site lol I'm just trying to figure out how to track my order

[@petercluxton7565]

Stock battery is crap. I got an AGM battery after a few months of owning mine. Havent had problems since even in 20 degree weather.

[@visionsofme8004]

is it smoother when the clutch engages ? btw seems like all of the 570's have undersized batteries, my 2017 does the same, what size cranking amp battery did you get ?

[@DualSportGuy]

Lee Embrey no the clutch hits a little harder and at a higher rpm. I don't remember the amps on the battery, just got one from autozone. It really didn't change the top out much. Hope this helps

[@visionsofme8004]

Dual Sport Guy thanks man

[@johnbalogna803]

Question why wouldn't you want to install the spring that would allow the unit to engage at lower rpm's seems like that would give better throttle response??

[@DualSportGuy]

john balogna There is a reason for it, but I don't remember off the top of my head. I would have to read the install sheet again to answer that one.

[@johnbalogna803]

ok thanks I'm thinking of doing an EPI clutch upgrade on my 570 sportsman with EPS and EBS because I'm not crazy about how much you have to rev the engine before you start moving on flat ground that's not too much of an issue but when your trying to gently walk your ATV up a steep bank I would greatly appreciate better throttle response because once the transmission starts to engage you do speed up rather quickly and that's not welcome when crawling up a steep bank as its too easy to cause the front wheels to come off the ground,

[@barrykennedy9947]

@@johnbalogna803 The engine is making less power at the lower rpm. The higher engagement rpm allows the clutch to engage when the engine is making more torque.

[@BIG_DAWG98]

If i have stock tires on the 570 sp is it worth getting a clutch kit like will i gain more power

[@DualSportGuy]

Jt Sipos you will not gain any power with a clutch kit. If you run over sized tires the kit will help restore lost power, from adding the over sized tires.

[@visionsofme8004]

also did your top end speed change ?

[@Darkone-ed3oz]

Where you get the raise hitch, I can only find the drop down style

[@DualSportGuy]

Darkone 20657 I had to make it ,the main part I got at Walmart several years ago. And just welded it to the 1 1/4 hitch.

[@DualSportGuy]

Darkone 20657 ok just found one on Amazon it's a Colman atv/utv hitch.

[@lukeb2582]

Thanks.

[@TheLiljock42002]

You said this was on the non ebs model right? what would happen if you had the ebs model and used this clutch kit in it?

[@DualSportGuy]

michael shepard yes mine is a non ebs you should go to EPI's website and see what they say about having ebs.

[@TheLiljock42002]

Dual Sport Guy Thank you. I did do that. I actually have the 450 Ho. The dealer specs say mine is non ebs. However the clutch cover say ebs system. The clutches appeared to be of a non ebs system.

[@DualSportGuy]

michael shepard I hope it will work I'll try and dig up something for you

[@DualSportGuy]

They do have a 570 kit for ebs but I couldn't find a kit for the new 450 might email them and ask they are a great group of people

[@dana2750]

Can you tell me the part number of your clutch kit?

[@DualSportGuy]

Dana T we437184

[@shawncrandall696]

Hello love your videos, but I have a very serious important question. after you put your clutch kit in, did you have to start replacing axles ball joints, bearings, bushings. what problems did you have if you had any. my name is Shawn Crandall. I'm on Facebook Messenger also please get back to me and let me know. I have 27 inch mudlites with a 2 inch lift on my quad in my buddy is trying to talk me out of clutching it and going back down to 26 inch tires I need your opinion please. Thank you sir!!!

[@DualSportGuy]

Emily Crandall I’ve no problems at all but my wheeler isn’t lifted.But I don’t see that would make a difference, you will see a huge difference in power it was the best thing I’ve done to my wheeler so far.

[@DualSportGuy]

Emily Crandall This kit just give you back the power you lost, by adding bigger tires, I think the lift would hurt your drive line more than the clutch kit

[@shawncrandall696]

So what about ball joints, CV, axles? No problems there?

[@DualSportGuy]

Emily Crandall no nothing from the clutch kit ball joints cv joints and that would be from a lift not from a clutch kit

[@DualSportGuy]

None engine brake model

[@drjoegaglioti1059]

What is the advantage of using these clutch kits? Especially with stock wheels and tires? Like what's the point?

[@DualSportGuy]

Dr Joe Gaglioti There won't be a point in putting a clutch kit in, with stock tires and wheels. You put a clutch kit in to over come the power loss, due to over sized tire and wheels.

[@mikeross6043]

Dual Sport Guy I put one on with 26's and my 570 runs a lot stronger in low to midrange .. Accelerates faster IMO .

[@DualSportGuy]

Mike Ross have you put a clutch kit in yet.

[@mikeross6043]

Dual Sport Guy yes , an RVS performance clutch kit which was the kit recommended by the forums and it's awesome to say the least. Did it before my pipe/ fuel controller and the thing flat out flies .

[@DualSportGuy]

Mike Ross sounds sweet man

[@shawncrandall696]

I tried that name, couldn't really find it. There's allot,

[@DualSportGuy]

Emily Crandall I'll work on that, getting ready to load up the wheeler and go play in the mud. We've got about 14 inches of rain this week, so everything's flooded.

[@shawncrandall696]

God bless the rain!!!! Look me up and friend request me on FB. Shawn Crandall, Schenectady NY.

[@djharris45]

I had a shop install a dalton clutch kit on my 2014 Polaris sportsman 400HO and it my rpms are around 3k before it moves. Is that normal? It only has 50 hrs on it.
