When I worked at auto repair shops and advised customers of recommended repairs, they would sometimes ask how long can they go before the part failed. I usually answered "Do you know when you're going to die?"

Your clutch may last a few more days or a few more minutes.

When you use the word "safely" were you thinking of personal or mechanical safety?

It's your machine. Your damaged part. Your decision. JMHO

 

If the spare rollers you have are aftermarket, like Hunterworks, for the outer secondary guides, don’t use them on the inside. They will fail. Hunterworks will tell you this as well. The OEM rollers for the inside is best option. I would suspect that the secondary has excessive wear and damage in the bushings, bearings, and helix, and possibly the “spider”, as Polaris calls it in their diagram. The 2019 shows use of the square pucks for the outer position. I would expect to see excessive wear in the guide slots on the fixed sheave. A new secondary clutch assembly may be needed. I’ve heard that owner of Premier Clutch out of Phoenix that refurbished clutches retired. Hopefully you can find a source that can refurbish if you go that route.

 

They are indeed Hunterworks rollers. I am closer to Las Vegas than Phoenix, any place there for clutches?

 

I wouldn’t be running a cracked primary any more than to get off a trail. Spins too fast to not worry about.
But in this post covid world I would not wait on a backorder either. I know Hunterworks seems the be the favorite clutch on this site, but it certainly isn’t the only good one. I assume you checked what the shops in Phoenix sell? Maybe they have something good in stock.

 

Find an OEM.

 

Call the local Polaris dealers, suspect you will find one in stock. I did when I needed one for a 2018 turbo.

 

Hunterworks' proprietary clutch is on back order but they are selling in stock Polaris OEM clutches with Hunterworks rollers installed. I just ordered new clutches from them about 3 days ago. 4200 miles out of my stock clutches is reasonable. I added a Dalton clutch kit to go with it. 2017 xp4 1000.

 

4800 miles on OEM clutches. Replaced with OEM and still very happy

 

Thanks for the advice. I got ahold of a very helpful guy at Hunterworks and ordered their secondary, an OEM primary and a new Hunterworks belt and they got it shipped the same day. I should be throwing it back together Thursday, hopefully enough time for some belt break in and then wheel on Friday.

 

My experience for OEM parts is that Ride Now in Goodyear had every I needed for my replacement secondary clutch for my Pro. Parker didn't stock anything.

 

Ride Now has screwed enough people that not many want to go back for parts.
