Square Pucks Wearing Out Your Polaris Secondary? Swap the Outside Rollers Before the Clutch Cracks

Pull the secondary clutch on a high-mile Polaris and you will sometimes find the square plastic pucks worn down and the helix ramps scored. Those pucks ride in the secondary every time you get on and off the throttle, and once they wear, they start taking the secondary with them.

What do the outside rollers replace?

The Polaris UTV Secondary Roller Kit is for the outside rollers only. It includes two rollers and two pins. Per the product details, it stops square pucks from wearing out your secondary and helps keep the secondary clutch from cracking.

What is the roller made of?

The rollers carry a new Nano Dry Lube coating and are high temp, tested to 400 degrees. The high lubricity is there for smooth movement, and the listing says they last longer than stock pucks and give faster backshifting. The design is listed as patent pending.

Faster backshifting is what you notice from the seat: the machine gives you engine braking sooner, and the clutch returns to low ratio quickly when you lift and get back on.

Which Polaris models does it fit?

Fitment from the listing:

  • 2016-2023 RZR XP 1000
  • 2016-2025 RZR 1000S
  • 2016-2025 RZR 900, all models
  • 2016-2023 RZR XP4 and High Lifter
  • 2017 Ranger XP 1000, all models
  • 2018 Ranger XP 1000, Crew only
  • 2016-2025 General
  • 2020-2025 General XP

Important exclusion: it will not work on Turbo models or on the newer RZR XP 1000. Check this list before you order.

Do I need a second pair?

There is an optional second pair on the product page for $10 off, which is handy if you want to do the whole secondary at once.

Before you install

The listing marks the tech article as a must read and the 2016-2023 install video as a must watch. It also links a secondary clutch removal video, so you are not guessing on the bench. While the clutch is apart, inspect the dampener too. And if the belt is glazed or frayed, replace it with a belt that matches your year, such as the Hunterworks RZR XP 1000 belt for 2014-2023 machines.
