Patent number: 7163477Abstract: A drive clutch for a CVT comprising a stationary sheave, a movable sheave, a motor and a centrifugal weight system. The movable sheave is movable closer to or further from the stationary sheave relative to a longitudinal axis. The motor may be coupled to an input shaft such that it is rotatable relative to or independently of the rotation of the input shaft. The centrifugal weight system is operably connected to the motor so as to pivot centrifugally outward relative to the longitudinal axis in response to the rotation of the motor, moving the movable sheave closer to or further from the stationary sheave.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2003Date of Patent: January 16, 2007Assignee: Polaris Industries, Inc.Inventor: Sean E. Sherrod

Patent number: 7072754Abstract: An operator selectable engine braking assist system is provided that allows the operator of a vehicle to select the amount of engine braking assist provided. An engine braking assist selector is provided to allow the operator to select a level of engine braking assist. A controller is programmed with an engine braking algorithm and implements the algorithm in response to the selector to produce engine braking in an amount selected by the operator.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2003Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: Polaris Industries Inc.Inventor: Sean E.
