Does the Maverick Clutch Kit fit a 2013-2017 Can-Am Maverick 1000?

Yes, the EPI Oversized Tire Clutch Kit Can-Am 1000 Maverick fits the 2013-2017 Can-Am Maverick 1000 when used with tires up to 28 inches tall.

The Maverick Clutch Kit is designed to handle the increased mass of larger tires by providing improved low-end and midrange acceleration while reducing belt slip and clutch heat. Because oversized tires significantly increase rotational inertia, ensuring the clutch can manage that extra weight without glazing the belt is critical for drivetrain longevity. We selected this kit for our comparison because it specifically targets the 0-3,000 feet elevation range and offers a quicker backshift. While the kit handles the internal mechanics, the product facts do not specify a required spring rate adjustment or a specific torque sequence for the housing; you should consult the manufacturer’s installation guide to confirm if specialized tools or specific spring tensions are required for your specific tire weight. Additionally, this kit does not include hub adapters or spacers, so you must verify independently if your chosen tire diameter requires extra clearance to avoid striking fenders or suspension components.

What to Check Before Buying the Maverick Clutch Kit

Before purchasing this clutch assembly, confirm these technical requirements to ensure the hardware performs as intended under heavy loads:

• Verify that your intended tires do not exceed the 28-inch height limit supported by the kit.
• Check the manufacturer’s support page for the recommended belt type to prevent overheating when turning increased tire mass.
• Confirm if your specific setup requires a specialized technician to align the clutch geometry to prevent drivetrain vibrations.
• Check for any specific heat-dissipation requirements or cooling needs if you plan to operate frequently at the limit of the 3,000-foot elevation rating.

Alternative Options for the Maverick Clutch Kit

The Maverick Clutch Kit serves as a dedicated mechanical upgrade to help a side-by-side move larger tires by improving power delivery and reducing friction. If you are looking for a solution that addresses different performance needs, such as extreme high-altitude operation beyond 3,000 feet or a different gear ratio change, you may want to look at alternative transmission tuning kits or different clutch brands. Buyers who prioritize high-speed stability over low-end acceleration might find that a different gearing configuration provides a smoother experience than a mechanical clutch swap.

If you are installing oversized tires and need to improve acceleration and reduce belt slippage within a standard elevation range, the Maverick Clutch Kit is the appropriate choice for your 2013-2017 Can-Am Maverick 1000.
