Aftermarket Assassins ’16+ Polaris General & General XP S3 Recoil Clutch Kit

• This clutch kit replaces your entire secondary clutch and comes with the primary weights & spring. For 2016 and newer machines, they went to a BOSS secondary clutch which is cheap and wears out extremely fast, and causes issues. Our clutch is the Team Tied floating version built specifically for the transmission shaft of the 2016+ models. This is the same style clutch that came on the 2014-15 XP 1000’s and other various higher end models throughout the years. This clutch actually floats on the shaft, thus helping maintain alignment from idle to full shift-out. It’s a great design that works very well and lasts a long time. Switching to this clutch means less belt/clutch issues, better clutch consistency, better belt alignment and better performance.
• Depending on many factors, we normally see factory secondary clutches start to fail between 1000-2000 miles
• Our S3 Recoil Clutch Kits pack a huge punch! No matter the terrain, they hit hard and just keep pulling for days. On the trail or at the race you’ll notice wicked acceleration and instant clutch response when getting back into the throttle after hammering that corner. In the dunes you’ll see the same benefits but also have much less bogging when climbing that big dune. The machine will hold RPM so you can get where you need to go, and get there faster! Going mudding? Our mud setup will help turn those tires through the thick and deep with much better RPM and wheel speed that’s key to climbing out of that hole. We have a huge amount of CVT knowledge, a great passion for the sport, and spent many hours testing different setups in the real world. We know you’ll be extremely pleased with the performance gain from our S3 clutch kits!
• The secondary clutch comes professionally set up and is ready to bolt on. It is a Team Tied floating clutch loaded with our performance helix and spring. This clutch actually floats on the shaft which helps keep it aligned from idle to full shift-out, leading to cooler belt temps and longer belt life.
• Kits work great with both stock or modified machines
• Simply a must-have when running larger tires or paddles
• Much faster acceleration
• Wicked throttle response and quicker downshifts
• More consistent clutch performance
• Clutch floats back and forth on the secondary shaft. This ensures the clutch stays aligned with the primary clutch at all times, even under torque/power.
• Engine braking in the secondary clutch can be removed for more free wheeling when off the throttle
• Less belt slap on the clutch cover which improves belt life and longevity
• Cooler running belt temps (especially when running larger tires or paddles!)
• Our Recoil clutch weights are easily adjustable with simple magnets. They have a custom AA profile, the BEST coating on the market (nitrocarburizing) which has increased wear resistance, improved fatigue strength, and added surface lubricity. These clutch weights also offer great performance, and the ability to tune for many different applications or modification in the future, without the need to buy extra parts. The magnetic weights are the best option to properly place the mass where we need it on the weight for the best performance for your application.
• A great initial setup guideline is included which shows the best setups for dunes, mud, or all around trail riding. This also has brief instructions on installing your clutch kit and other important information.
• We offer two clutch kits:
• Standard Load: Meant for stock or near stock size tires (27-30″) and is the one for most fast pace trail riders or racers.
• High Load: Meant for those with larger tires (31-32″), mud tires, dune riders, and those with paddles 28″ or larger. Mudding and duning are considered high load and must be clutched slightly different. The components for our mud and dune setups (high load) are the same, but you’ll notice your setup guideline for the Recoil adjustable weights will be different between those two applications.
• EBS (Engine Braking) Options:
• Keep Engine Braking: Like factory. Most slower pace riders (mud, crawling or very hilly terrain) will keep the EBS in place.
• Remove Engine Braking: – Removes the EBS pocket in the helix. Gets rid of the roller clunk noise. Most faster pace trail riders/racer or dune riders will choose to remove it.
• Our “Cruiser” option is for those looking for less cruising RPM and less noise. The cruiser option loads the primary clutch weights heavier with our slug magnets. These magnets are like 5 magnets in one large slug, whereas our standard magnets are only able to fit 3 in each hole. This allows us to run more weight in the arms without having to purchase a completely different kit. This kit option drops peak RPM down to roughly 7400-7700 RPM instead of 8300 like factory. This does lose a bit of horsepower, but if that’s not your concern, this add-on option works extremely well. This setup also has even smoother engagement, crawls very well, and still has plenty of acceleration. Think more of a cross between a Ranger and RZR as far as acceleration and feel. The best part is you are not stuck with this option. You can simply revert back to our standard clutch setup whenever wanting more performance. Switching the weights takes 15-30 minutes for most and gives you a chance to clean up/inspect your clutches.
• Kits include: AA Recoil magnetic adjustable clutch weights, primary spring, complete TIED floating secondary clutch (loaded with spring & AA custom cut helix), & setup guidelines/instructions.
• Special tools recommended for installation: primary clutch puller, Tied clutch belt removal tool
• We recommend reading this article about your clutch system wear before making a purchase as well: /tech-blog/f/clutch-issues-2016-rzr-1000-900-generals?blogcategory=Clutching
• We also highly suggest our Revolver Billet Clutch Cover with Tower Lock to increase primary clutch strength and cooling.
