Drive Clutch Inspection - Polaris Sportsman 700 Efi 2005 Service Manual

Moveable Sheave Bushing Inspection
2. Inspect the Teflont coating on the moveable
sheave bushing.
Moveable Sheave Bushing Inspection:
Replace the cover bushing if more brass
than Teflont is visible on the bushing.
Refer to bushing replacement in this
chapter.
Roller, Pin and Thrust Washer Inspection
3. Inspect all rollers, bushings and roller pins by
pulling a flat metal rod across the roller. Turn roller
with your finger. If you notice resistance, galling,
or flat spots, replace rollers, pins and thrust
washers in sets of three. Also inspect to see if
roller and bushing are separating. Bushing must
fit tightly in roller. Use the Roller Pin Tool (PN
2870910) to replace rollers and pins. Take care
not to damage roller bushing or bearing surface of
the new pin during installation.
4. Rubber backed buttons can and should be used in
all ATV clutches if the hollow roller pin is changed
to a solid roller pin. NOTE: The rubber side of the
button is positioned toward the solid roller pin. It is
recommended to switch all buttons to the rubber
version during service (if needed).
ONE-WAY CLUTCH
INSPECTION (DRIVE
CLUTCH)
1. Rotate one-way clutch clockwise (as viewed from
the cover plate side). The clutch should rotate on
the shaft with only slight amount of drag. Verify
there is no binding or rough spots. When rotated
counterclockwise, the clutch should lock to the
shaft without slipping. If problems are noted in
either direction, continue with disassembly.
