POLARIS GENERAL 1000 / XP TUNING TIPS
Terry's Tuning Tips
ECU: The Polaris General 1000 and XP models benefit greatly from ECU tuning. More torque, more hp, cooler engine temps, higher speeds, and no bogus misfire codes like the stock ECU program. 10.7 Hp gain at peak rpm with this tune. People are amazed with the performance of their General after our ECU tune and clutch kit combo.

Clutch: Like most things there is always room for improvement. The stock clutching is functional but has very lazy backshifting, inconsistent RPM and is prone to belt slippage. Awesome performance and smooth operation is had with our Blackmax Adjustable clutch kit.
The Blackmax adjustable clutch kit allows very smooth operation with extremely quick acceleration and pull! It is very smooth yet very fast! Great belt grip, and fast backshifting. The blackmax weights allows you to adjust the clutch kit for your custom built large tire or gear reduction machine, high elevation, or to match your particular riding style. The kit Includes billet steel magnetic adjustable primary clutch weights, and primary spring. Don't forget about our mudder spring for your secondary clutch if you are running larger than 29" tires.
If your Primary clutch is worn out and needs replacement I suggest installing our HD primary clutch which comes with HD RZR 1000 internals and the super cool outer cover plate to keep clutch and belt temps lower. Don't forget to grab a clutch puller.
Secondary Clutch: Please select the optional mudder secondary spring if you are running larger than 29" tires. The mudder spring allows the secondary clutch to squeeze the belt harder under heavy load conditions to help prevent belt slippage. It is an absolute must if you are running larger than 29" tires. The stock secondary clutch helix is very lazy and does not offer a consistent rpm in different load situations. I highly suggest you ditch the stock helix and install a 56/66 helix that we offer. Acceleration is amazing, rpm is consistent and belt grip is amazing. The stock BOSS secondary clutch comes with square pucks as a friction point in the clutch. They cause a tremendous amount of wear on the clutch and will eventually destroy the clutch. I highly recommend you replace the square pucks with our super high quality composite rollers. Performance and longevity is much better with these rollers installed. If your secondary clutch is shot or you just want to upgrade to a much higher quality clutch then I suggest our HD Team Tied roller clutch.
The absolute best performance clutch combo that I have ever tested on a General model is the SUPER CLUTCH KIT. The combination of the blackmax primary kit matched with the custom helix and secondary spring makes for unparalleled performance and belt grip.
Belt: The stock Polaris belt is weak and cannot handle very much stress. I have found the G-Boost belt to be the absolute best performing and longest lasting belt on the market. I highly recommend installing one!!!
Duraclutch Upgrade: If you want unparalleled belt life, and overall clutch durability I would suggest the Duraclutch kit. Our Duraclutch kits are custom calibrated for a stock or tuned machine, and to your specific model.
GENERAL XP MODELS: The stock clutch setup is very poor on this model. It does not provide enough belt grip and backshift during deceleration. Because of this it is very common to have belt slap and rub issues when decelerating. The SUPER clutch kit totally resolves this and provides lighting fast back shifts, zero belt slap, and arm stretching acceleration! I also find that many guys really like our custom calibrated Duraclutch system because it offers unparalleled belt life and smoothness.
