This is not about the need of a clutch kit or what it does, plenty of that already in existence.
This is about each kit and why.
08-09 RZR 800, just weights and primary spring no secondary spring nor helix.
Why? The stock secondary spring was determined to be good for tires up to 29" and the stock helix in that clutch was determined to be right for the vehicle. The 08-09 came with a EBS secondary and had a removable helix.
So Dalton does not sell you a spring and helix in this kit that you don’t need.
10-14 RZR 800 kits, basically the same answer but these vehicles do not have a removable helix and the stock secondary spring works good
The 10-14 800 Four seat, primary spring, secondary spring and adjustable weights. Why the secondary spring? Vehicle weight is heavier than two seater and it needs more belt grip plus needs to be held in lower gear longer.
11-14 RZR XP 900 Adjustable weights and primary spring, stock secondary spring good up to 28" tires and need stiffer one after. Stock helix is good in that model too unless you think it has too much engine braking and Hunterworks not Dalton has a fix for that.
2015 Non-EBS model 900 STD and S model, guess what the sales data says?
No kit needed on a stock vehicle Polaris got this one right, so unless you got bigger tires, elevation etc then don’t buy one.
Wow huh?
2015 EBS model, Polaris got every single component wrong. Line a EBS model up against a non-ebs model everything being the same and the non ebs model will outrun it every time.
Ranger 900 14-15 model
I really have some egg on my face on this one, bought a Ranger to test and play with the forth coming Dalton kit and in the end just two springs one for primary and one for secondary. Dalton said low is too low, high is too high in this machine and I will not sell a full a on kit for $300 that people do not need!!!
Wow again huh?
2014-2015 1000 RZR, same thing Polaris did not get one piece of this clutch calibrated correctly which was seen in the 14 model blowing belts, Polaris bandaided by changing the clutch cover and putting a much too hard of belt on plus changing the helix some.
Also the Dalton has bushings in the flyweights on the 1000 kits, dirt and dust will eat the weights up in the hole where the bolt goes through over a period of time. Polaris knows this as do Dalton but they made their bushing better.
Four seat 1000, gets it’s own kit, same weights and springs but different helix and set up. Why? Different load with the extra people.
These 1000 kits quickly became the most popular kit we sell with the XP 900 right behind it.
The 1000 kit was the most fully tested kit ever at Dalton and even won the Baja 500 race this year.
What sets the Dalton apart from them all is ease of set up, most kits can be trying at times and you have to remove the weights for any adjustment and you simply don’t have to with the Dalton.
Anyway, what is the whole point of this thread?
Dalton does not do cookie cutter kits, every kit is specific to that vehicle
Some gets a bare minimum kit, some get it all and some like the 900 RZR mentioned don’t need one at all then there is the Ranger 900 just needs springs.
This is why I sell Dalton, great kits, easy to set up and they just flat work. Dalton is just like me, we only sell what works!!!
They also give you a 30 day satisfaction guarantee on it. less than 5 have used that in the 8 years of selling Dalton kits at Hunterworks.
