I bought a Renegade 1000 the first year of the 2nd gens. At the time only a few clutches were available and I did the Dalton clutch kit with 28" tires. It was ok, but lost a good bit of power I could feel and if I did not have it in low and hit any kind of resistance it would smoke the belt immediately. I cant remember who used to sell it but I bought a modified TEAM clutch from one of the Can-Am vendors. This has been the best clutch, I have had it on for around 9 years without any service. Still running that first belt I put on. Just recently I took it apart to grease the bearings and had to order some special tools to get it apart so I was asking on the can-am Facebook pages about what tools I would need and almost nobody in the comments knew about this clutch option. At that time I remember only paying $300 or so for it, im not sure why they dont offer this anymore.

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Sounds lime a good option, maybe just didnt sell enough. TEAM makes good stuff. Polaris and Arctic Cat use TEAM components still.

[@SCOTIAN_]

I did the cvtech and ran 30x10x14 super atv intimidators and it ran it fine and worked very well. Then I went down the rabbit hole and stm primary and secondary…… well the difference is night and day. Clutch kits are for Polaris… and you nailed that in this video !

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Well thanks for that! Yes its amazing the difference with the billet aluminum clutch, night and day difference agreed

[@jasonahrens1138]

Thanks so much.! Just got a renegade and will take your advice.

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Glad it helped

[@epitt906]

This is the video I been looking for, for 1 year 1 month & 28 days.....Thank you....lol

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Glad I could help

[@loudnproudatv3502]

It's about time somebody did this.... Awesome video!! I only see these questions asked 100 times a day on Facebook lol

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

EXACTLY! Glad you thought it was beneficial for people asking those questions

[@kenayre8554]

those aztecs sure do throw the muck. my next tires. excellent video on clutching

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Yes they do, glad you enjoyed it.

[@livelaughlove20able]

Nice video don I also went with 29.5 assassinators on a 2022 can am outlander max but went with a cvtech primary and a red epi secondary spring and it definitely made a difference! The only thing in the future is a ecu flash upgrade and maybe a stm secondary clutch!!

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Right on! Some ECU tuning makes a big difference.

[@dontrellleonard5259]

I was thinking about going with QSC Rev-X primary & STM secondary for my 2018 Can Am Outlander XMR 1000. after watching this video I might just go with the Rex-X primary & change my secondary springs.

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Can't go wrong with that choice. I'll eventually change to an STM secondary, but no rush as current set up works so well

[@TheStockWatcher403]

Always appreciate the advice and tips!

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Glad to hear it!

[@yenerakdag2300]

Very good explained about the clutches. Thnx 👍

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dnksdad]

Nice vid Don ! Now your gonna have to answer the next most popular question, do I need a tune with an exhaust 🤪

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

You know Jeremy, that definitely another hot topic!

[@napalmatv4524]

I put a CVTech on my 850 XMR and put the grey (I think that’s what color it was anyways) EPI secondary spring in. Thing ran mint for sure and I’ll put that clutch on my new one too, but I definitely want the new QSC Rev-X in the future

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Yes the new Rev-X is getting rave reviews

[@mandytuning]

Hope they come with p drive like the outlander 700 and 22up SXS

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

maybe when the come outwith the Gen 3??

[@TaylorBonnett]

Bro you just quoted me lol 😂 when you’ve. Said. I put 29.5 inch assasinators on my 570 and it works just fine. Lol 😂

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

ha ha Ya buddy!

[@sidneydelorme20]

Great video! Good to know that the epi clutch kit is worth it for the Polaris, gonna go with that for my 570!

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

It sure is!

[@ChevroletTough]

I’d agree. Clutch kits are a waste, full blown primary is the way to go. I’ve done cv tech primaries on both of my can ams and have had awesome results!!

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

I was surprised that Dalton wasn't listed. They are Canadian and test thoroughly to ensure what comes in the kit is what is needed. So if only new weights are needed, kits are only $50, where EPI replaces everything and charges 100's for the same results. And CVTech us Canadian too, and like you said, the best primary option for Can-Am's

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Dalton was in the video, there was a graphic with the price.

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

@@ADVENTURESThisWay must have needed more coffee lol how did I miss that

[@chriscostiff1355]

Miss ya Don!

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

More than your clutch kit??? Miss you too buddy, have to hang out again soon

[@chrosobrien359]

No options available yet for my 700xt for almost any aftermarket part 😢

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

I'm sure items will be coming out soon 🤞

[@robbieburt4493]

Great content once again. Great like always Thanks

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

[@MuddinForParts]

Don't tell them about the special sauce Don! 🤣 🐐

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Dude, we can't let out ALL the secrets!!

[@keiththesquirrel]

If you upgrade both, how does that effect the quickness and top speed with stock xxc tires? Still do some drag racing and don't want to lose speed, but put in mud tires to do some other racing with mud holes.

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

If want speed, don't the secondary. Just change the spring. I would recommend an ECU tune first then maybe add a CV Tech primary if results aren't what you want

[@brantleegantt6577]

What if your a 650 on 35s every one saying stm Is to heavy and i don’t wanna go taller and get 4 inch portals

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Not sure the weight difference between STM & CV TECH. But either way you're not getting optimum performance with stock clutching

[@fleeterxmr1610]

🤘🤘

[@hEvtrdr]

Do you think 31 inch og outlaw tires for a renegade would work fine with the stock clutches?

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Probably not that great. They will be heavierthan a set of Cryptids

[@hEvtrdr]

@@ADVENTURESThisWayI did the research and I think it should be fine, it’s a couple pounds heavier.

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

@hEvtrdr Then why did you ask? The issue is when you are in thick material, belt will slip. But I suppose 2 or 3 belts is about the same price as a clutch kit...

[@606MudMaifa]

Love how’s he not even talking about aftermarket assassin

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Never heard of it before. So I checked and they sell performance parts for SXS and UTVs. This video is about ATVs.

[@anthonyarnoldii7776]

You have any good websites to get parts and accessories? Just took my 2022 renegade out this weekend and had an absolute blast.

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

try L1fe Outdoors

[@withlinbarhm1627]

Is a aftermarket primary and secondary clutch only good for mudding and going through deep water? Or will give me more power. I have a 570 outlander and I want more punch and acceleration.

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

An upgrade to the primary will get the power to the ground more effectively. A CV Tech would do wonders for a 570. You can customize it for the terrain you ride. Also get a tune or ECM flash, that will wake it up as well

[@annexoffroad]

So would you get a cvtech and exhaust/tune or wait for bigger tires to get clutch?

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

An aftermarket clutch and tune will significantly improve performance, no matter what tires you have.

[@rodboseman545]

Okay I have a renegade 570 and I have the Dalton kit already in it do you think getting a whole new primary clutch would be worth it or do you think it would be pointless? Thanks.

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

If stock tires clutch kit is fine. If bigger tires and have cash available get a CV Tech primary and change secondary spring

[@rodboseman545]

I had 29.5 assassinators when I first got the clutch and I sold them and bought 32 assassinators and I am currently waiting on them to come in.

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

@rodboseman545 it will work fine with clutch kit but will need to be adjusted for 32s much heavier. Best results aftermarket primary.

[@terrycalvert7812]

Good video

[@conmanumber1]

Look at CFMOTO. Great package but poor clutch.

[@eddytheking601]

Why are you saying this? It's literally a Cvtech primary and secondary

[@CF-BRADY]

Agreed. I put a kit in my cfmoto, and it made the world of difference
