Thanks for the video! I feel like I should address one apparent error in this video. The proper way to reinstall the P22 is to perform initial torque to 140 ft/lbs using a special "tool". The tool is simply a stronger bolt that doesn't have the taper by the threads and is available from Polaris. Once set, remove the tool and replace with the primary clutch bolt and torque to 110 ft/lbs. Highly recommend occasionally rechecking torque and hopefully the new bolt will take the frequent torquing. Polaris and it's ambassadors continue to downplay issues with the P22 and I understand it isn't happening or going to happen to everyone, but for those of use who have had their P22 fall off and/or explode in remote locations, this clutch is guilty until proven innocent.
Is it really worth doing a clutch kit for the 9R? Heard it is pretty dialed from the factory? I would definitely use adjustable clutch weights for changes in elevation.
@@doug7759 I stand corrected. We’ve had multiple sources think it was aluminum but it’s steel. The new bolt is steel as well but slightly different. Hopefully it’s the fix.
Awesome news! I thought it was running high at 8600 after I put the green spring with the yellow stripe from SLP in there. Turns out it sounds perfect.
Remember I don’t work for Polaris. The bolt issue has been an issue that they have addressed to multiple dealers. The new bolt is steel and should solve things 👍
I don’t think it’s “making such a big deal about” when those bolts are breaking all the time. It is an actual big deal when you’re in the backcountry. Take an extra bolt.....easy right.....but the majority of the time it breaks and leaves threads in the crank so a new bolt doesn’t do you any good anyways. The fact of the matter is, this is something we absolutely shouldn’t have to be worried about. And the worst part.....it’s happening year after year.
Clutch guys like JS are GOLD......thanks for the post!💰💰💰💰
Agreed he’s one in a million 👊👊👊
Great Video couldn't have explained it better!
Super informative! Thanks
Definitely the best video I’ve ever watched on clutching and it’s called throw lol

Great video Dan. I think that clutch bolt should be torqued be for every ride. Even though they say it is from engaging and disengage 😊
Nice work guys!!!
Well Done Boys
Do you happen to have a part number? My dealer definitely didn’t know what I was talking about when I asked them about the new bolt.
I don’t have the new part number either. Hopefully it’s info that Polaris is making available 👍

night and day gain when I added the clutch kit
The factory 9R clutching is possibly the worst stock calibration I've ever ridden.
@@performanceengineered2839naw. The Boost is much worse. 😂
i had a bikeman cover,had the clutch rebalanced.Clutch cover cracked.Careful what you buy
Bummer you had a problem. We’ve been running multiple covers in multiple sleds for a while now with zero issues 🙏
They will warranty it out if you had an issue. please contact them
now can you do ski doo? Just snow checked a 2025 summit turbo ;)
Do you know what Polaris is gonna do about the primary clutch bolt situation?
They’ve gone to a steel bolt that should solve the issue 👊
What material were the bolts before?
@@doug7759 I stand corrected. We’ve had multiple sources think it was aluminum but it’s steel. The new bolt is steel as well but slightly different. Hopefully it’s the fix.
@@Ccrider2220 hey bud I was wrong. The bolt was steel and is still steel but a slightly different spec. Hopefully it’s the fix. 👍
There’s a list of 24 quality improvements. They should be much better!
What size were the primary clutch cover bolts you bought from hardware store? Dia,, length & thread ?
SCR-M6X1.0X35
This is the stock bolt and I just took it in and went 3/4” longer.
Makes the install very simple 👍
What is the target RPM maximum that we are looking for on a stock 24 boost?
We like 8550-8650!!
Awesome news! I thought it was running high at 8600 after I put the green spring with the yellow stripe from SLP in there. Turns out it sounds perfect.
Do they tell ya how to keep a primary clutch on a Polaris cause there still flying off
Would a titanium clutch bolt be an even better option?
Titanitum is a weaker material than steel...
I can’t wait to rip this sled in a few months! :-)
It would be nice if you had of spent a little more time on the primary bolt issue beside just saying this is what everyone is talking about .

Didn’t talk about sending the primary out to be balanced. Pros/cons
I’ve actually never done that so I left it out of this video. I continue to hear good things though and a pile of guys are recommending it. 👍👍
