We are introducing another Polaris Patriot product. Although the Patriot had a nice power bump over the 800 Liberty motors we did find they are slower revving. The motor is a bit heavier and response somewhat slower. We now have light weight titanium bolts that will cut the rotating mass quite substantially.

The kit offers 6 clutch cover bolts that are 1/2 the weight of the OEM bolts and the starter cup bolts are 1/3 the weight of the OEM bolts.

Kit price for all bolts $79.

Quantifying the benefit. As most can understand, it takes energy to speed up and slow down a moving object. With reducing almost 70 grams of rotating mass on these motors that is nearly equivalent to the weight of an average clutch weight. You can imagine the forces each ramp weight imparts must be enormous to push a clutch closed against the clutch spring while clamping on the belt and overpowering the secondary. This will make your motor react quicker in the up revving and down revving that is key to tree riding performance.

Pic. 1 is the kit contents.
Pic 2 is the weight of the kit
Pic. 3 is the OEM bolt weight.

For those with Liberty motors the Clutch cover bolts are the same but the Starter Cup Bolts are different.

For the liberty crew are you going to introduce an option for us to select our engine so we get the correct starter cup bolts? If yes, do you have an ETA?

I would like to but would have to commit to a large order to get decent pricing. The 6 large bolts are the bulk of the weight loss overall so will just give you 10% off if just want the 6 for your clutch.

How much more response would a person notice if the starter ring was removed from the clutch?

Hard to give you answer but I certainly noticed on my 2015 when I switched from an e-start clutch to manual start clutch. You are best to jump on an equal sled that does not have e-start and take note how fast it revs.
