Clutch rebuild

Over 1500 miles last season and blew a belt at 1000 miles.
I am thinking I should rebuild the clutch, I get a bit of the polaris clunk (all previous 8 polaris sleds had this) and it was a bit erratic last spring. No I did not do the rpm record feature but I noticed some RPM variation. I have been happy with the stock clutching for where I ride. I will be riding this season with three new 13 Pros and a 12 Kitty.
Rebuild Yes or no?
If so Stock Polaris parts or SLP Blue pink with MTX weights?
If SLP Do it yourself or have the dealer install for warranty purposes?
Any other comments welcome.
 
If you ride aggressively and put over 1500 miles on it, it's time for a rebuild. Chances are good your bushings and buttons are both loose and out of spec. The EPI rebuild kit is a good choice. I think maybe you mean just a new spring and weights though? That is not a rebuild. A rebuild involves pressing in new bushings, new rollers, and new buttons.

Otherwise as far as setup, yes slp blue/pink or green/pink if you like the hit, MTX weights set to 72 grams with as much weight down in the heel as you can install. I like to use MTX 71g base weights with 1g aluminum rivet in the heel and an empty tip.

I should have been more specific, I was going to replace parts with OEM parts, Burt thanks for the heads up on the EPI kit.
