- Started mods on the New Body 2018 Ranger, up first is changing the primary clutch to run in the 7600-7900 range and change ECM tuning to 100hp and remove limitations. More videos to come :)
I remember watching this vid 2x before opening my clutch cover. These vids are solid - keep us updated on the 1k
Cant wait to see the followup drive vids!
Holy crap that is awesome!!! I haven't had to open one up yet but am looking forward to it now haha.
Jerry Nix I know! Wish they would have done this years ago...
Very informative man, extremely good video, thanks for for posting.
Thank you! Glad it helped. :)
I just got a 2020 highlifter ranger, definitely doing the clutch kit because it doesn't rev high enough, peak power is around 8k rpm and it doesn't get anywhere near 8k. But yeah thanks again for your video, ive done tons of my own work on rangers from exles up to motor and trans but it's always nice to see a video of the new stuff before u dive head first into it lol.
@@lukebryan228 LOL! I've always been the guy to dive in head first. But I like a challenge in all this stuff so I like to help where I can. Thanks for the kind comments!
Make sure you put the washers that go on top of the spider (under the outer black shaft) in the correct order, you were holding them incorrectly in the video. The new service manual says the order is black outer shaft, thick silver Belleville washer with domed side toward outer shaft, then yellow thin washer touching the spider. Torque to 96 ft-lbs.
very helplfull thank you
Thanks, glad it helped!
Gilomen has a clutch video out and he does not take the primary off to change the wieghts and springs is that enough ? just the 6 10mm bolts and then the weights off and on good to go no ? love your vid's keep them up very helpful !!
Yep that works fine, but if you gave the bolt and spider cover off, the outer sheave slides right off. Either way is good.👍
just thought id let you know that gilomen has the EBS elimination shim for our bikes. www.gilomeninnovations.com/store/p71/EBS_Helix_Lockout_Shim_for_P90X_Primary_Clutch_.html
Do you think a weight change on my 2019 ranger 900 would eliminate some of the dreaded take off belt slap that almost all rangers do? Wondering if it would help anything that way. Only use mine around the farm, with no speed running. Wondering if diff weights would help.
If it engages very harsh, a clutch kit would smooth it out. Most likley, you will need at least a spring and weights in the primary. You could check with Terrry at Gilomen Enterprises. He has the springs and weights that should set up up well. 👍
well you could grind the spacer on the inside so it will roll free
Yep, thought of that but it gets a bit to thin. Gilomen came out with a shim to keep it from engaging the belt which would work better. Now if they come out with the helix for the secondary, we'd be set!
Polaris has a clutch update I am taking my 2018 in next week having issues with mine creep, whinnying hard to shift not a recall yet but Polaris sent me the update you have to ask for it to be done at dealership
Haven't seen that myself, but I haven't had those issues either. Those conditions you describe sounds like the belt deflection is too tight or the clutches are out of alignment. they are very sensitive to alignment since the do run the belt pretty tight on them. It'll probably be an adjustment to the secondary if I had to guess. But could be anything. Good luck getting it sorted out!
I have the 2016 570 SP with TPI clutch kit currently I have exploded seven belts gone through a wide range of Springs and several different sizes of weights, yes I am an overly aggressive Rider and this new clutch system will make access much easier but more must be posted on options whether you wish to get on it and do a wheelie Orr change it up and go hundred miles an hour so far I've seen nothing posted as for which weights do what which Springs do what? Trying everything at my expense currently trying snowmobile weights
Springs and weights will go hand in hand to a point. It really is trial and error when you are attempting to change yourself. Best to find the stock spring pressure and stock weights in grams. More primary spring pressure will raise the engagement rpm. Less weight in grams will raise rpm range. Secondary spring will affect how fast shift out occurs. It really is a teeter totter of balance to keep proper belt tension through the whole rpm band. If you are going through belts and alignment is good, it is possible there is not enough belt tension between the clutch for proper grip. And that would affect belt life. Best to check with the clutch kit makers like Dirty Dog for example. Dale might be able to set you on the right track and he has adjustable weights so you dont have to buy different weights all the time. Wish ya the best on getting it sorted out!
@@Longslyde1 thank you for your information incredibly helpful I will give it some research
Thanks Longslyde1. (alaskan47)
Heya Man! good to see ya on here! ;)
Glad your doing this. Great info! Subscribed!
Have you done your recall on the breather gasket update yet 5 minute job
Yep, done!
Let’s see how it runs with the tune a clutch kit.
I'll include it in the next video. I'll do one when I get the stereo finished up... ;)
So you do not need a clutch puller to get off the 2018 primary clutches?
Nope. The outer half will just slide off. You'd need a puller for the inner sheave if you wanted to remove that, but it's not necessary to pull it.
@@Longslyde1 I am hearing some very loud whining coming from one of my clutches when in the throttle. louder than the engine at high speeds it recently just started. trying to trouble shoot my problem and get it fixed. already replaced my belt but did not fix anything. i just purchased a gilomen tune. waiting for it to come in for my 2018 1000xp ranger. my machine has 2200 miles on it.
@@blakesterling5429 I would get that checked out at the dealer before you install the tune and kit. Make sure everything works as it should before you modify it.
My outer half would not slide off. The fit between the splines on the shaft and the spines on the spider was a little tight. I used a 3-jaw puller to remove it. The spider has 3 cast-in pads on the back to locate the 3-jaw puller perfectly. If anyone else runs into this don't fret, get a puller and it will come off. DO NOT try to pry it off with a crow bar!
You know they make good inexpensive tripods, right?
Jeff Chaney lol, yes, I have to get one the works for my phone. That's what I normally use for the videos...
Are the washers backwards at 6:35 in the video?
They are at that point, On install I did switch them around....Good eye! Didn't notice that till you pointed tit out. ;)
Just wondering because I took my clutch off today after hearing a sound and that bigger washers was cracked. Did this same install. Guess I got a faulty washer or could have possibly over tightened the main bolt.
@@SETXthermal might have over tightened the main bolt. that could do that.
approx. cost for clutch kit and ECM?
Lisa Stoner approx $500 for the kit if you send in your ECM and have it released, about $900 if you want another new can ready to go.
Are you still happy with the tune and clutch kit...just ordered the clutch kit for my 2019 1000 XP
yes thoroughly! This is really how they should have come from the factory imo. You will like the setup I'm sure!
@@Longslyde1 what is the top speed...everythig is stock on mine for now, except clutch kt
@@rlsapp12 With the Ecu, I consistently can hit 70mph with the cab and 28" tires. If I et the wind behind me it will top out at about 80 but I find that i about the limit as it feels like its out of gear and RPM's try to climb.
@@Longslyde1 thank you TW...clutch kit will be put in tomorrow, and I try the get the programming of the eco next week
@@rlsapp12 keep in mind if you put the clutch kit in it "may" trigger limp mode since the stock ecm sometimes picks up that the belt is slipping and tries to protect it. I've only seen one case that it happened, but dont panic if it does it. The ecu will cure it. Thanks!
What clutch kit is this?
It's actually just the primary spring and weights from Gillomen Innovations to optimize (raise) the RPM for the ECU upgrade. The ECU upgrade makes the Ranger about 100HP. It really wakes up the machine!
Longslyde1 I figured it was from Gillomen. They are the only ones I've seen that have a flash for the 18 so far. Thanks for the reply!
I had a 2017 Polaris General with Bikeman Performance's programmer and STM Rage 3 Primary and secondary, I would say this machine would now hang with, if not beat, the General. It made the Ranger feel like the General in terms of power for sure.
