Polaris P-85 Clutch History 

Yes this is true! Great fun fact! Do you think we will see the p-22 last the long 37 YEARS like the p-85 did or will we get a new clutch before then. Time will tell!

thanks for watching!

Thank you for the subscription!

your gen 2 should take a Polaris series 10 weight.

The clutch maintenance on your titan is gonna be easy! Blow it out with compressed air and clean the clutch faces. At the end of the season check the rollers and weight bushings. Replace as needed. Those clutches on the trail sleds last 5,000 miles plus.

You"re very welcome.

Thank you for adding this great info!

Hell yeah! Welcome back!

Good to know!

I never heard of a closed cover clutch 🤔

Thanks for adding to the convo!

This video is about the primary clutch. Not the secondary you are asking about.

I have not. I use OEM parts when I rebuild clutch.

@@FeederCountry do you know if the buttons you've used on various p-85 clutches have differed in size?

@@jakebirdseyemusic I dont know off hard but I have to believe there are different size buttons for sure. Did you buy OEM or aftermarket?

@@FeederCountry I bought them from EPI Performance which is known for having good quality parts. But I called a local polaris dealer and they said the OEM buttons are the same size. Maybe I could shave them both down until I get the .002 clearance?

Really there are only 3 different P85 clutches from the 1980s to now. The 3 got updates and revisions for durability but didn't changed the application or function. #1 (1981 to late 2000s) Fugi engines "Fuji short taper" #2 Polaris engine "liberty engine" (1996 to late 2000s) #3 Big taper Polaris (2008 to 2021) I also believe the 900 twin had a different taper but we do not need to talk about that. 😉 And last note. From 1980 and new sleds with trailing arms only have 3 different chassis. #1 Indy chassis. #2 edge chassis #3 pro x chassis. Wedge is just a hood design. Evolved as a hood design Aggressive is a hood design Gen 2 is a hood design And edge is a hood design. Take care. I like your videos.

There is!

p-85 and p-90 are the names given to the primary clutch only. The secondary clutches use different names like TSS-04 or TSS-98.

The TSS-98 clutch uses a helix and buttons, the TSS-04 uses a helix and rollers.

TSS-04 or TSS-98 are roller secondary clutches made by TEAM. Nothing to do with Polaris and P85 or P90. P90 secondary clutches are much smaller in diameter than the P85 secondaries. The P90 also used a skinnier drive belt. P90 system (primary and secondary clutches) were used both on the Polaris ATVs of the 90s as well as the low-HP sleds during this time - I'm talking the 340 and 440 fan-cooled engines in the Indy Sport and Indy Lite models.

I can not personally confirm or deny

If it was my sled I would run the exact same oem clutch that was sold with the sled. Then I would get a slp clutch kit so you can use their adjustable weights to tune the clutch a little. Especially great for elevation changes and trail conditions.

@@FeederCountry so the 2001-2004 p85 would not be an upgrade?

@@taraszakordonskk5731 I personally don’t like swapping clutches around like that. I think the 2001 clutch runs a different belt than what your 96 does. So you might have to run a belt that’s too hard of compound for the HP your sled is making. There is a lot of variables. I think being able to tune the clutch via adjustable weights will far out preform any gain you might see from changing a clutch.

🤷‍♂️

@@FeederCountry ??

They're all P85 clutches (except the new P22, and the P90 for the low-HP sleds in the '90s). None of the clutches in this video are for your 1996 Indy Trail, not even the one from the XLT. For the 1990s era Fuji motors, the rule of the thumb is that all the twin cylinder P85 clutches are interchangeable amongst each other, and all triple cylinder P85 clutches are interchangeable amongst each other. The triples and the twins used a different offset on the clutch, so they sit different distances from the engine block. You can see the difference on the back side of the clutch where the taper bore is. The triple clutches are like what is shown in Clutch #1 in this vid. The twin clutches have their taper bore in the center of a raised boss on the back side (with the fins).

@@MrGcard100 more good info added this the comment section. Thank you!
