Cheap Amazon Clutch Update: Nothing video worthy so I will drop it here. On my second clutch with the EPI big tire clutch kit. We have had 3 hard riding dune trips. 4 long days mountain pass riding for many miles. 4 local trip days. About 900 miles. I pulled the clutch today to check it out. The rollers are still spinning free and there are no wear marks on the weights. In my opinion since I only got 1500 miles out of my stock clutch and this one was only $300 (compared to $7 to $900 for stock.) this one has paid for itself. Dune miles are without a doubt the hardest and we push our machines.
I just bought one of these mother clutchers direct from his website. I have a 2013 sportsman 850 touring that had some grooves in the sheeves, not wanting to spend the big bucks on a factory replacement I found his primary clutch on ebay and amazon which helped me eventually find his website. . He does offer them a bit cheaper on his site. I too added the EPI clutch kit. Haven't installed the new primary yet but fingers crossed I have success and know broken parts. My old clutch never did break on me just wore out due to mileage and the previous owner did not do the maintance on it.
My second one is working very well. 3 dune trips and long days in the mountain passes. Several trail trips. The first one was throwing codes at high revs that I thought was my weight set up but the second one doesn't do it.
Update 8/22/22 I ran it another 8 months then had some non conclusive issues that put my rzr in the shop all summer. I felt like Mother Clutch was doing the right things as a business. They cared about quality control and tracking issues. I switched to running MCB clutches because they let you choose your weight kits and have some upgrades to reduce shank wabble. I wasn't happy with the bushings on the EPI clutch kit they kept breaking and are expensive. So this got me an upgraded clutch and tuned weights cheaper than the Mother clutcher and a weight kit. I have only had a few rides with this one. Comment if you would like a review video of this one as well. mcbperformance.com/i-23430643-2014-2015-polaris-rzr-1000-razor-mcb-performance-primary-drive-clutch-non-turbos.html
I bought a mother clutcher for my 19 turbo xp with a stage 3 AA tuner and some other small performance upgrades. I haven't installed the clutch yet but I'm honestly a little scared to install it. What's you opinion on trying to send it back and get something better, or just run this and see how it turns out??
Its a tough call because you can buy 3 of these for the price of stock and 5 for the price of aftermarket. If you only trail ride go for it. Dunes are the hardest on clutches and belts.
The warranty process with the guy was really good. He said it was a known issue and had corrected it on the next batch of clutches. Seems to really care about the brand he is trying to create. I don't know if I have a large enough sample size yet to say if it was worth it or not. I had to rebuild the stock after 1200 miles so its a huge savings over stock since they don't sell them in one piece. Its like $750.
They are supposed to be stock. If your primary wore out really fast like 1200 miles just replace the one. Of it wore out after like 4000 miles replace them both. In my opinion. It depends on your riding style. The primary takes more of the abuse if you are riding sand or bumping big rocks. If you blow your clutches out often the secondary will last along time it it has rollers. If it has the square pucks check to see if they are leaving grooves. If there are deep grooves in the secondary outer sheath then replace it. It will keep it from down shifting and mess up your belts and primary.
Thanks for the fast reply. It has around 4,000 miles & I just trail ride with a little fun some times lol. But I was just pulling out from my garage & there was a big bang. Part of the primary broke completely off. I have tried to remove the primary with the removal tool & it will not come off, any suggestions?
That sounds more like the belt. The front clutch likes to get stuck engaged when it is going out. Check the wear surface of the secondary pucks. That should be the first thing to get grooves. First thing I would do is blow out the clutches put a new belt on and watch run with cover off. If it shifts in and out without catching its probably ok. Dust build up can cause problems.

Well I had some transmission bolts that fell out about the same time that I didn't notice till a few trips later. I had the clutch fall apart on me but it could have been because of the transmission banging on the bottom frame. So I have inconclusive results. The manufacturer said he knew about the first clutch issues and had fixed them. He was surprised about the second clutch but still did right by replacing the broken parts. I decided to try the mcb clutch for about 100 dollars more and it included custom clutch kit at no extra cost.
@@williamvincent8920 so far so good I have 2 dune trips and a mountain trip on it. They upgraded the thicknesses of the slider shaft to reduce slack and extend life of the pucks.

@@jessecastro2585 I like to run the worlds best belt. Several companies market it for g boost but trinity on Amazon usually sells it cheapest. After watching Full Throttle Offroad torture test it I was sold. It only has blown on defective clutch or after I glaze it bumping rocks.
I bought one from them will never again. First one shredded off flesh with the crank shaft second on did what your did in the belt was intacked the hole time there rollers in weights are garbage you won’t make far past 500 miles if your lucky
I really do hope others have had a better experience! We ride hard in dunes trails with lots of ups and downs in acceleration. All I can do is say what happened in my case.
@ThinkBuildTest I play in the mud and ride trails. I have both the primary and secondary. I also run an evo stage 1 tune. Haven't had issues yet thankfully. I considered Aftermarket Assassins but fir the price, it's worth a shot for the mother clutcher

Maybe try a thicker washer to help with over travel. It will limit top speed but it looks like you will make up for that with the bigger tires.
Yeah I could see that. I think there was an imbalance in that unit. The replacement feels allot better.
@@ThinkBuildTest Great idea! i was thinking especially if he has a tuner with rev limit increased.

Has the same thing happen to me but with more damage. Still debating what to do, sure can't afford a polaris primary and both covers.
This second one is doing pretty good. 2 dune trips and a week of riding 80 miles a day in the mountain passes.
I think this one is better balanced. There was a code I was getting at high rpm with the last one and that went away.

My buddy is the owner of mother clutcher. He stands behind everything he sales! He returns calls to all of his customers whether good or bad.
Thinking on one of these for my 9trail. Instead of rebuild..3k miles & needs something..
For trail should be no problems. Rebuild is almost the price of one of these and you have to deal with the spider nut tools.
hi I was wondering if you still use the mother clutcher and if it was worth it still after the break

@@ThinkBuildTest thank you im weighing my options and this kept showing up in my searches.
I’m looking into this clutch system for my 2016 General, my primary busted. Is it best to replace both primary & secondary so match or does it matter?

@@233178033 lubricate the threads on the puller. Impact wrench it lets it sit for a bit. It will pop.
Ps. Do you think the Mother Clutcher system is a good fit you me.
@@233178033 if you got 4000 miles off your stock. Probably. I rebuild my stock at 1200. Replaced it at 1800 miles.
How can you tell if jerking and clatering on take off is just primary, or both clutches? How often do 2ndarys go bad?
That sounds more like the belt. The front clutch likes to get stuck engaged when it is going out. Check the wear surface of the secondary pucks. That should be the first thing to get grooves.

One thing is certain. Polaris produces good mechanics.
If you want to keep playing you gotta get some skillz for sure. Can't wait on the shop.
