Waterproofing a Polaris Sportsman 570 (fixed leaky clutch cover)

Sealed up the clutch cover with silicone. Lots of it. Trying to fix a common problem with the sportsman 570. Oh, and sorry for saying "seal" a bunch. Thanks!

Great video mine started leaking yesterday through deep water. I'll give this a try. Thank you

[@pastaboi69able]

Just pulled mine all a part soon as I took the clutch off very apparent where the water was coming in cheap zip tie holding it in place starting the process now thanks for the video!

[@kevinbarredo2873]

how is it doing now? I'm getting the 2020 version and probably going to do this right away.

[@pastaboi69able]

It works incredibly, I recently bought a 2013 500 model and it started to do the same thing after awhile so it looks like it’s time for this one now to be done!!lol

[@jacobstevens5677]

Did you have to put another zip tie on?

[@pastaboi69able]

Jacob Stevens I did just Incase but with the other one I’m not going to, just wanna see what happens for my own Curiosity LOL

Wow, I always knew Polaris wasn't the highest quality, but I had no idea they had such a cheesy clutch case. No wonder it leaks. It's just basically a plastic box bolted onto the side of the engine with a factory oem zip tie around the seal!

[@Michael426]

I got mine last weekend same colour I love it! Don’t think I’m gonna have it to the 25 hour break in before the snow starts to fly tho lol

[@tyleroneil2309]

LOL. Congrats man.

[@michaelpalmisano7010]

You have an update on how well this worked? I have same bike an my belt slips anytime I go through a puddle drives me nuts. I’m in Florida too, I not far from hog Waller , plan to go if I can fix this issue

[@shawncrandall696]

If you grab the front of the clutch case is there any or alot of play, mine was pretty solid until I sunk it then it seemed to move in and out a bit. Lmk and thank you.

[@flabby3grammas]

Is there a certain way to put the primary clutch back on or does it only go on one way?

[@tyleroneil2309]

yep, only one way.

[@Fox09Matt]

Man I need someone to do that to mine lol had the same problem at hog Waller

[@rydingwithryan493]

Would it stick the clutch cover to the other side of it

[@kevinbarredo2873]

How's it doing now? Have you had any issues after you put this on?

Hey there I’m here because I’m currently pulling motor and on mine there is actually a metal band that secures around gasket for primary clutch. I am curious if it’s a one time thing but yours does not have this I will keep searching.

[@kaseyhair6779]

Is there enough space on that rubber boot behind the primary for a hose clamp? Or only wide enough for a zip tie?

[@tyleroneil2309]

prob just a zip tie :(

[@kohlercody2]

No room for hose clamp I recently tried and my clutch was hitting it once the bike was running made a horrible noise

[@kaseyhair6779]

@@kohlercody2 thanks for the update! I went with a metal zip-tie myself and its worked great!

[@HatArmor]

What size are those tires?

[@SketchyXC]

hi how are you making out with this fix at this point? i need to do something about mine. im pretty discouraged after a ride yesterday. and thinking of taking the loss and trading it if a fix cant be found. please give me some good news...lol

[@tyleroneil2309]

It seems to be holding up alright. getting ready to sell the bike

[@jairohernandez6137]

What year is it

[@arcticpicks135]

How is it holding up? Anything you would change if you did it again? Doing mine this weekend.

[@tyleroneil2309]

Arctic picks It’s all tore apart right now waiting for new parts but it held up great.

[@arcticpicks135]

TOJE mine has a zip tie on it from factory.

[@antprice2012]

Did u relocate your battery?

[@tyleroneil2309]

No, i replaced it.

[@kevinsullivan5862]

i would go through puddles on mine and it would slip

[@SeanGilmore92]

How do you like those executioners?! looking at getting a set for my sportsman 500

[@brianconnelly4868]

I have them on my 500, I love them

[@jodyb91581]

I have executioner 27’s on my 15 570 and they do good. I went from 29.5 outlaw ll to them and haven’t been disappointed.

[@minekaiju77]

@@jodyb91581 I'm about to buy 850 HL and was thinking of getting the Kenda Executioners. You think it'll be a noticeable difference in power going from 47 lbs a piece tires to 30 lbs a piece?

[@jodyb91581]

minekaiju77 I’m sure there will be a little difference in the rotating weight. Not sure you will feel it in the seat but you very well could.
