Loss of power Polaris 570

I have a 2014 Polaris sportsman 570 and it had a random loss of power for a day. I had it in water but nothing above the bottom of the racks and the belt was not slipping. Even on dry land it felt gutless. I pulled the plug for the belt box and it was dry. The next day it still felt weak but now it’s fine. What Could this have been

12 volt question

If I hook a 4.1 amp led bar directly to the high beam socket ,would I still need to add relay and fuse since I’m using the factory plug that is already fused and relay??
I have the male socket that I can hook to the led leads.. The stock halogen would be disconnected .

Another question is,,,do all the 2015’s have 2 switched pigtails ??I have an orange wire and a orange and gray (they are both switched) 1 has a black plastic case on it with the spade connector in it.The other just has a spade connector.

The dealer had hand warmer on one and thumb warmer on the other. I dont know but I figure at the most those warmers would be maybe 4 amps? Why couldent they both be on 1 wire??

Which roof?

Im looking at either the plastic sport roof or the lonestar racing aluminum sport roof from can am. Is one style better then the other as far as wind noise and wind in the face goes when combined with a half windshield?

Clutch Kit Help!!

Hey Guys!
I’ve been doing some reading but I’m a but confused with the material I’ve been reading.

I just bought a new 2017 Outlander Max XT 850. I upgraded my tires to 28" Swamp Lites. When I asked about the need for a clutch kit in order to get back some lost power, the dealer stated that the motor is powerful enough that I wouldn’t really notice. is this statement accurate??

All I’m looking at doing is keeping the gearing where it is now. I just want to compensate for the 28" tires. I want to make sure that even with the 28" tires I get all the power that I’m paying for.

I ride about 85% Dirt road and 15% playing in the mud.

I was considering the DBO 850 kit from Dalton. Any recommendations?
