This is on my 03 edge 800, and as you can tell it is not fairing so well. I did manage to limp it off the hill without being towed out by either of my buddies on thier cats. HA. I am unsure on what brand it is. I don't think it is stock, or is it? Either way a need a new one. One just like this so i can set it up the exact same way or another one of equal value. Anyone have one they would part with? Thanks for the help snowesters.
Need help with Clutch identification???? PICS

Forgot the pics.
IT's a stock p-85 Polaris primary with a HiTech 911 clutch cover.
I have one of those too.
They don't run the stock spring...I think it has to be a bit longer. It's got a wider bearing surface.
If you are looking for a replacement cover, I do have one sitting in a box at home. I never used it cause I got my primary dialed and didn't wanna throw it on and start over.

What are you looking to get out of the cover?
I ran one of those, I would HIGHLY recommend not running the Doo springs that come with the cover "kit". They are too long and WILL coil bind before full shift and the result is the broken cover, have seen this many times. I have measured the spring pocket and it's not long enough for alot of the Doo springs. You can use the shorter Doo springs with no issues, plus the shorter/larger diameter coil springs tend to hold their rating alot longer.
What's the benefit of that cover and doo spring in the first place? Just curious, I have never used that setup. Sounds like they were not very reliable.
I dunno...a lot of people used those for a long time. I have 1 but I never used it because I didn't have the right spring to go with it.
If I could find the right spring I would try it. Right now I have a Pol spec titanium and I think it is a 160-330.
Not 2 derail this thread, but does anyone have a suggestion?

This is the one I have, looks very similar, but still uses a polaris spring.
The link also explains the benefits of it.

Ricks, I was just out for a ride and she made a weird sound and then locked up cause it tore the belt to pieces and jammed up the primary. This is the only problem this sled has ever given me. I love it, and it kills sleds that cost two three and even four times as much. Thanks again, how is your new turbo?
Might want to have the crank run out checked.
Ironic that the website claims this "mod" will increase clutch life.
That is great to hear. That's one of my favorite sleds! The turbo is great. Fuel is expensive and once you get used to all the little things you need to know they are great. I went through 2 set's of hand grips just holding onto the dang thing. Going up is awesome, coming down is insane 
.
But the cost is ridiculous. For what you paid for that Edge, you are way ahead when compared to the turbo. For all but the long pulls, the turbo isn't much of an upgrade to your sled. I've still got $18,000 in receipts on that (your) 800, so you better tell the truth to your buddies so not to make them feel bad when you spank them

The point of it was initially to run a larger cover bushing and have less spring bind, supposedly this helps the response of the clutch since it moves without friction throughout its adjustment since everything again supposedly stay straiter. Its claim to fame like the team is supposedly rapid reaction, and less belt heat smoother up shifting.
However as you can see the cover is not without its flaws as well. That appears to me to be an earlier design. The newer ones seem to work a little better. One thing about these covers, at least the older ones anyway you more or less have to have your clutch rebalanced because it DRASTICALLY changes the balance from stock. I dont care what it says about those balance weights it still wasn't enough. I have a newer one that I ran for a while... I cant say I noticed a difference at all over a well setup and correctly balanced P85.
Best thing you can do with your P85 is balance it correctly and get 3 weights in it that weight the SAME! or as close as possible... Polaris weights are notoriously bad for being way across the board in weight. Say you take a set of 10-62's Ive seen 3 weights come out of a stock sled from Polaris. One weighed 62.5 grams one weighed 61.2 grams the other weighed in at 61.9 grams. It doesnt look like much of a different but run that at 8000 rpm's and it really does a number on a clutch real fast. Thats why I carry a small scale with me when I go to buy weights and get 3 as close as I can weight wise then measure them out with a caliper and sand them down so they are all the same weight exactly. The clutch works worlds better.
