Remove the clutch cover then the spider (special tool required) there are some washers to add between the spider and engine side of clutch shaft to set pulley width. But before you do that when engine is off does belt have side clearance? If the answer is yes, you may only need a new clutch spring as they loose tension with time and idle speed may be engaging clutch

Lighting coil is bad. Take off flywheel and replace the lighting coil. Should solve your problem.

SOURCE: 1997 Polaris XLT Triple. Do I really need to pull

I have 1995 and a 1997 XLT. i have rebuilt the recoil on the 95 and all it takes is the few bolts to take off the cover and take the pipe off. if the 97 is any thing like my dads 94, you may have to pull the engine up a bit, the bottom left bolt cant fully be backed out with out hitting the side of the belly pan retainer, all it takes to pull the motor up is one nut in the back of the motor mount, and one bolt off the front, and it will tip up enough

2008 Polaris Sportsman 800 Touring. Hard to shift, sticks in gear while running, have to raise rpm to get it out of gear but shifts fine while engine is off.

Hi,

Your clutch would usually be the issue. But your ATV has automatic clutch so we can disregard that.. I will get that you need to alter your final drive (ie check 2wd, awd etcc).

The problem could also be belt related, so you might want to check the status of the belt. If you need more help, you can also call Polaris at 1 (800) 765-274.

Thank you.

Start up idle is slow below 1050 rpms and sounds like going to stall while idling. Runs fine otherwise.
