Only Gates Polychain failures I have see have been from installation errors or foreign objects tearing them up. Not saying landing on full boost with hard ground can't break them but you are in chain failure territory at that point.
It takes a big man to admit he is wrong. I respect that. You are right about the clutch. and I was wrong thinking that the P22 was going to be a good clutch.
Hang on.............I am 100% sure you swore up and down at the 9R release that the motors would grenade before they got 100 kms on them. Now you say they are a good engine. That must hurt?
Trailing Arms? Full A-arm front suspension? Slide rear suspension? Aluminum tunnel? Secondary clutch cam shaft design? On and on it goes but Ski-Doo had many firsts too. And soon to be.....Buddy tracking, without cell service.
There are some places that had 140-150 cm of snow and got at least 25 cm new over the last couple days. It will need more but will be rideable. Keep in mind March is our snowiest month normally.
So the bright side....when was the last time you could drive to Revy mid winter and show up at the hotel of your choice and get the room of your choice? It's like the good old days, minus the snow.
Maybe that 5hit snow is the new normal? Sean you might have to get a Polaris if you want to keep riding. They still said they had fun. I guess they are truely passionate about the sport, unlike many.
You hit the nail on the head by mentioning the heat should not be generated in the first place. Reality is something is slipping to make heat. My thought was at slower ground speed due to heavy wet snow, the engine is doing 8000 RPM but the sled is basically shifted down in a low gear and...
The secondary has the fins on it to move the heat out. If you are in deep, heavy snow and the sled is not moving fast, the secondary is not spinning fast when maximum heat is being generated. This is opposite to how an ideal design would be. it would be best if the primary somehow moved the...
Polaris guys won't be coming to Doo anytime soon unless they can't wait out the P22 clutch fiasco. Word is there is a new clutch on the way but will Polaris do the right thing and update all 22-24 Boosts and 9R's? Ski-Doo set a good example and coughed up new gears for their customers. Hope...
