If only we could get the Polaris assembly team to adopt your procedure?
Nothing else matters if primary clutches won't stay on our sleds

Anyone thought about trying a Powerbloc 80?

Please post the pic of the heli lifting the sled and flying out. Chilly doesn’t believe this ever happens.
It's unlikely I'll be able to be there when they short haul the thing.
Proper documentation of a heli ride is a requirement for Polaris Riders. It’s worth the extra day off work and makes for great optics in the eyes of our stockholders.
Rode icy trails Saturday. 2 Boost 165's A 23 and a 24. The 24 was way cooler than the 23. The 24 scratchers are much better and was similar temp to the 24 Doo with the snowflap on.
Put 24 scratchers on my wife's 23 9r.
Also tried bleeding brakes on 24s. Didn't change a thing.

I didn't even add oil last weekend. Just put gas in and rode.
I'm sure the pistons will hit me in the face next weekend since it ran 3 days straight.
thanks!!!

I literally towed out a dead turbo G5 and my 24 9R stayed cooler than the 23 boost.
they did send out a solid clutch bolt and tell the dealers to torque to 150 Ft lbs and then take it out and install the stock bolt torque are 110. ft lbs...no need the stock bolt will take 150 ft lbs. grade 8 bolt... OR just send out solid shaft clutch bolts!!!!! keep at 150....I talk with Polaris all the time.

Stock Polaris clutch bolt isn’t solid? Is it aluminum?

My sentiments exactly .. having owned a yeti bike for a season I can't believe people use Ti bolts for anything that requires torque
I think he's referring to the shank - the way the clutch bolt necks down on the standard clutch bolt. I'm not sure why they're that way, but they all are. There's another bolt Polaris sent to dealers with a straight shank down to the threads; I saw a picture in another thread, but can't remember which one. By the way, I totally agree this isn't a place for Ti. Ti clutch cover bolts are potentially a good investment because it's not highly stressed and they're out on the periphery of the clutch, so they make a much bigger contribution to rotating inertia. The clutch bolt makes very little, by comparison.
Anyway, this sounds like the kind of place for a max effort, high-strength bolt. That makes me wonder if anyone's contacted ARP. You'd probably need a run (at least 100, give or take) for them to do it, but I know they do custom orders in small enough quantities for "little guy" sellers. I doubt it'd be a total solution to the P-22's woes, but if I had a P-22, I'd pay good money for one. I guarantee if ARP made it, you'd have a much stronger bolt than the OE bolt. If it put an end to the self-detaching clutch problem, maybe Polaris's accountants would cry uncle and pay the price, but they'd probably force the engineers to make up that cost by cheapening something else...
