Polaris Clutch weights

[Loopkey]

I am going to McBride in Feb. and have a 08 Polaris 700 Dragon 155, the book says use 10-62 weights for 4-6 thousand feet or 10-60 weights for 6-8 thousand feet. For you regulars out there which weights would you use, we may ride all three areas or just Lucille and Renshaw, I was going to go with the 10-62 but what happens if we go higher.

Thanks for the input and I hope this starts a good discussion.

Whats the easiest way to change the weights in a Polaris I need to change mine in my fusion and not sure how to go about it
sorry its a bit off topic

well some change the weights with it on the sled but I am not sure what tool they use to compress the clutch but I take the clutch off, then compress the clutch to take the pressure off the weights, it take about 10 minutes, I made a clutch spring compressor..

i would definately go with the 10-60 weights. to change wieghts i just use a couple clamps and squeeze the clutch together a bit.

 

[Loopkey]

what kind of clamps do you use on the clutch when its on the sleds

 

[OnlyPolaris]

i use those quick clamp wood clamps. i do it on the sled.

just back off the bolts on the outside flange to back off spring tension, then pull bolt out for weights and change. Seems to work good for me .....specially on the trail.

well wanted to add that I did finally change the weights on the sled I bought a 6" large C clamp it fits perfect and you can tighten it up and it squeezes the clutch, worked awesome..
